The Open Source AI Code Generator

The Open Source AI Code Generator

When Builder AI went bankrupt, they ended about 10,000 companies, individuals, and organisations, and dragged these with them down into the abyss. For every user of Builder AI, the bankruptcy was a personal tragedy. These users had spent years building stuff they believed was theirs, that they can no longer use because Builder AI was closed source, and Builder AI is insolvent and cannot pay their bills anymore.

With AINIRO the above isn't even possible in theory. If we go bankrupt, you can fork our code, download the database and code, and host it yourself. Watch me demonstrate how in this video.

For the record, we're profitable and we can in theory operate for a million years without any additional funding!

Open Source is Your Guarantee

When Google is building their data centres, they're exclusively using open source software. This is a strategic choice, and they've used this strategy for almost 3 decades now, and they became one of the richest companies on earth doing it. Still, they expect you to use Firebase, which is closed source and only possible to run on their infrastructure. This implies that if Google increases their pricing one million times, you've got two choices:

  1. Pay them
  2. Drop them and loose everything you ever created with Firebase

If they decide that for some reasons they no longer want to run Firebase, you've got one option; Throw all your hard work down into the toilet.

Open Source is your guarantee. If I die, you fork the code and host it yourself. If I charge you unfairly, you fork the code and host it yourself. If I go bankrupt, you fork the code and host it yourself. If your "vibe coding platform" does not bring you this option, it's not a software development platform, it's a "toy". Don't believe me, then go ask the guy responsible for choosing supporting libraries at Google.

The paradox is that AINIRO is a solo entrepreneur company, with more or less one employee, and yet still Builder AI's bankruptcy showed us how AINIRO is still one million times safer and secure than a company worth 1 billion dollars, backed by governments and Microsoft, having spent 200 million dollars building their platform. It's not rocket science really, it's very easy to explain, and it's because ...

AINIRO is open source! Duh!

Now if you want to play around with toy platforms, such as PowerBuilder, Firebase, Manus AI, Cursor AI, or Codex for that matter - You're of course welcome to do that. But if you want to build something serious, we're literally the only game in town, because we're the only one of these having a contingency plan for you in case we mess up!

Builder AI Bankrupt, what did you Learn?

The average Silicon Valley BBQ will easily spend one billion dollars, producing nothing of value, while only accomplishing wasting time, resources, and money! AINIRO is NOT a Silicon Valley BBQ!

Implement Open API Specification using AI

Open API is a standardised method for 'declaring' what an API does, what input arguments it takes, and what it returns. AI code generators are also very good at implementing such specs without hallucinating.

The Inevitable Collapse of AI Code Generators

AI code generators are becoming increasingly good at what they do. However, according to Facebook we've reached a 'wall'. The question is 'How do we pass the wall?'
