The Complete Flow
Architect, Vibe, Deploy, Buy Domain
The entire journey from idea to live product happens inside one app. No context switching, no external tools.
Architect
Describe what you want to build. AI plans the architecture, file structure, and tech stack.
Vibe
AI writes the code while you watch. Edit, iterate, and refine in real time with full context.
Deploy
Ship your project directly from Construct. No external CI/CD setup needed.
Buy Domain
Find and purchase a custom domain without leaving the app. Connected automatically.
Key Differences
What makes Construct different
Full Context AI
Cursor and VS Code AI extensions see your code. Construct AI sees your code, designs, tasks, docs, calendar, and conversations — all at once.
Not Just for Developers
VS Code and Cursor are code editors. Lovable is a code generator. Construct is a platform for designers, managers, founders, and developers alike.
One Subscription, Everything Included
No need to pay for Figma + Linear + Vercel + a domain registrar separately. Construct includes design, project management, deployment, and domains.
Build Your Own Spaces
With the Construct SDK, you can build custom spaces for any workflow — and publish them for others to use. No equivalent exists in Cursor or Lovable.
