General Admin
AI Low-Code Platform
General Admin democratizes software development by providing AI-assisted app-building capabilities. Business users describe what they need, and the AI generates the underlying workflow logic, database schema, and UI — all configurable through a visual editor.
Tech Stack
The Problem
Internal tooling development is a bottleneck in most organizations. Engineering teams are overwhelmed with requests for dashboards, CRUD apps, and workflow automations that take weeks to build.
Architecture
The platform uses a three-layer architecture: a natural language interface powered by OpenAI for intent extraction, a schema-driven UI renderer for visual editing, and a workflow engine that compiles visual flows into executable Node.js functions. All state is managed through a real-time Redis-backed event bus.
Engineering Challenges
- ▸Generating correct, production-safe code from natural language prompts
- ▸Designing a flexible enough schema to represent arbitrary business workflows
- ▸Ensuring security isolation between tenant-created apps
- ▸Providing meaningful AI suggestions without overwhelming non-technical users
Solution
Used OpenAI function calling to extract structured workflow intent from natural language. Built a custom DSL for workflow representation that compiles to safe sandboxed JavaScript. Implemented tenant isolation at the database and execution layer using row-level security.
Results & Impact
- ✓Reduced internal tool development time by 10x
- ✓Enabled non-technical users to build and deploy workflows independently
- ✓Adopted by 5+ internal departments within 3 months
