Build on a
Solid Foundation

Start with a battle-tested Rails 8 template that includes authentication, AI integration, real-time features, and production infrastructure. Focus on building what makes your app unique.

Why Start from a Template?

LLMs are powerful, but they can't build everything from scratch reliably. There's always a chance they'll make mistakes. The right approach? Build on a strong, proven foundation and have your LLM wire things together instead.

Building from Scratch

  • LLM generates all authentication code → subtle security bugs
  • Database setup written fresh → missing indexes, poor performance
  • Email system cobbled together → deliverability issues
  • File uploads improvised → S3 misconfigurations
  • Testing suite generated → incomplete coverage, false confidence
Result: Looks good in demos, breaks in production. Weeks of debugging.

Building on AllSpark

  • Devise authentication → 10+ years of security hardening
  • PostgreSQL configured → optimized indexes, ready to scale
  • ActionMailer + providers → transactional email just works
  • Active Storage → battle-tested file uploads, CDN-ready
  • RSpec suite → comprehensive tests, production patterns
Result: Start at 80% complete. LLM wires together proven components.

"LLMs are incredible orchestrators. They're not great architects."

Give them a solid foundation and watch them work magic.

Every Feature. Out of the Box.
