A SaaS to Build Your Own SaaS?

Imagine a platform where you, as an entrepreneur could create your own software-as-a-service (SaaS) product with just a few clicks and some text-based instructions. No need for deep technical expertise, no need to assemble a development team, and no need to worry about hosting or continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. You simply log in, choose a code boilerplate that suits your idea, and start building or modifying your SaaS with the help of an AI-powered assistant that can do the full work for you through natural language.

I'm' not talking about another "no-code platform", I'm talking about real code, written by AI (where you could invite real developers also if needed).

The idea is simple (maybe not the implementation of it;)

You start with a robust boilerplate (maybe in node.js, deployable to Vercel or similar) that provides the basic features. From there, you can customise your product by simply telling the AI what features you want to add. Want a subscription model? Just ask for it. Need a file upload feature for the users? Give an instruction. Each new feature is integrated into your product , with the platform handling all the coding, testing, and even deployment. The platform would include everything you need to succeed: automated hosting, basic CI/CD pipelines to ensure smooth updates, and scalability options to grow your product as your user base expands.

The platform could even offer pre-built integrations with popular third-party services like payment gateways, CRM's, or marketing platforms, allowing you to create a fully-fledged SaaS product in record time. Plus, with the ability to continuously refine and add features based on simple text instructions.

I know there are tools out there like outsystems.com and similar, But does something like this targeting micro SaaS founders already exist or is it unrealistic?

If not, then perhaps it’s time for someone to turn this idea into reality?
