From a 5-minute conversation to a deployable Laravel, Node, Go, Flutter, or static project — built by AI, audited by deterministic quality gates, and traceable down to every prompt and gate.

Built with Tessera · real run

A Croatian bakery website, generated in 9 minutes 39 seconds.

The fixture said languages: ["hr"], so the AI wrote real Croatian copy — the bakery's name, the Split locations, the opening pitch. That's why the preview on the right looks the way it does. One tessera new call produced the full static project: Tailwind theme, JSON-LD schema, mobile menu, and a junior-friendly SETUP.md, with every step audited by deterministic quality gates.

  • 9m 39stotal wall time
  • 3AI calls (Opus + Sonnet + Haiku)
  • 17events traced
  • 2 / 2hard gates passed

How It Works ​

1

Install

One Composer command. Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Needs PHP 8.4+ and at least one AI tool (Claude, Codex, or Gemini).

→
2

Describe

Tell AI about the project in plain language. What the client does, which languages, payments, design style. AI asks the right questions.

→
3

AI Builds

AI picks the right tech stack and generates the project — models, theme, admin panel, content, tests, deployment docs. Deterministic quality gates verify each step actually produced what it claimed.

Ship It

Get a working project with SETUP.md that tells you exactly how to deploy. Configure API keys, push to production.

Why Tessera? ​

AI Generates the Entire Project

Describe your project in plain language. The AI code generator creates models, theme, admin panel, tests, and deployment docs — no boilerplate, no copy-paste.

Smart Cross-Tool AI Routing

Routes each task to the right AI tool and model — Opus for architecture, Sonnet for content, Haiku for setup notes. Rate limit on one? Auto-switches to the next available tool.

Quality Gates Built In

Every step ends with a deterministic post-check declared in YAML — file-existence, syntax, contract checks. No AI grading another AI. The gate either passes or it doesn't, and the result is in events.jsonl forever.

Resume on Failure

Build fails or you press Ctrl+C? Progress is saved atomically. Run the same command — it resumes from where it stopped. Memory-first writes mean no step ever runs twice.

5 Stacks, One Engine

Laravel, Node, Go, Flutter, Static — every stack lives in a versioned YAML manifest. AI picks the right one or you pass --stack=node. Authoring a sixth means writing one YAML.

Self-Healing Builds

Tests fail? AI fixes them, up to 3 attempts. Skippable enrichment steps don't halt a 25-minute build on a 7-second rate limit. The core scaffolding is never skippable.
