Author AI
Author AI
Stop renting your own business logic. Author AI generates production-ready .NET + React + SQL applications from your requirements — no lock-in, no per-user fees, full source code yours to keep.
See It In Action
Watch how Author AI takes your business requirements and generates a fully functional, deployable enterprise application — no coding required.
The Problem
Traditional low-code platforms promise agility but deliver dependency. Here's what they don't tell you at sign-up.
Competitors charge per-user, per-app. Deploy to 50 employees and watch your monthly bill explode. Scaling your team shouldn't mean scaling your software costs exponentially.
Your workflows, your data models, your business logic — all trapped inside a vendor's proprietary platform. You're not building an asset; you're renting one. Try to leave and start from scratch.
Low-code tools work beautifully for simple apps. When your business grows and needs real complexity, you hit invisible walls — and competitors offer no professional services to help you escape.
Proprietary scripting (Deluge, Power Fx) means your developers are learning dead-end skills. When you need a real developer, they can't help you — the code is untransferable.
How It Works
Three guided steps from business requirement to production-ready application — no developer required to get started.
Describe your business need in plain language. Author AI asks guided questions to understand your workflows, users, and data — exactly like working with a senior business analyst. No technical jargon needed. HR managers, operations leads, and compliance officers can drive this step.
Author AI auto-generates an Entity Relationship Diagram and a full list of use cases based on your brief. Review and refine your data architecture before a single line of code is written. You stay in control of the logic your business runs on.
Author AI generates a complete, runnable application — .NET Core backend, React frontend, SQL database — packaged in Docker for one-click deployment on any server, cloud, or on-premise. Download your full source code. It's yours. No strings attached.
As your business needs change, Author AI helps you modify and extend your application — even as a citizen developer. For complex enterprise growth, Prescient's professional services team can step in where no low-code vendor ever would.
Why Author AI
We didn't build another low-code tool. We built the escape hatch from them.
Every application you build outputs clean, standard .NET Core + React + SQL code. Download it, host it anywhere, modify it yourself or with any developer. You own the asset.
We use industry-standard technologies deliberately. Your developers already know them. Your ops team already runs them. No proprietary runtime to maintain.
One subscription. Unlimited apps. No per-user seat fees. Deploy to your entire company, all departments, all workflows — the bill stays the same.
When your application outgrows simple modifications, Prescient's engineering team provides professional services — something no platform competitor offers.
Application Examples
From shop-floor to boardroom, Author AI generates enterprise applications across every business function.
Track work orders, machine status, production targets, and quality checks on the shop floor — fully integrated with your existing ERP data.
Production Tracking Quality Control Machine SchedulingAutomate onboarding checklists, document management, leave requests, and performance reviews — replacing a dozen spreadsheets with one owned application.
Onboarding Workflows Leave Management Performance ReviewsBuild audit-ready compliance applications with full data ownership — critical for FDA, ISO, and GxP environments where data cannot live on third-party servers.
CAPA Management Document Control Audit TrailsReplace generic CRM subscriptions with a tailored system that matches your sales process exactly — from lead capture to invoice generation.
Lead Tracking Pipeline Management Client Self-ServiceReal-time stock tracking, purchase order automation, supplier management, and low-stock alerting — purpose-built for your warehouse's exact workflows.
Stock Tracking PO Automation Supplier PortalTrack hardware assets, software licenses, and employee IT requests in a single system — fully self-hosted so sensitive IT inventory never leaves your environment.
Asset Register Ticket Routing SLA TrackingMulti-level approval workflows for expenses, budgets, and purchase requisitions — no more email chains, no more spreadsheets passed between managers.
Multi-level Approvals Budget Tracking Audit LogsTrack project milestones, resource allocation, billable hours, and deliverable status across your entire services team — owned infrastructure, no SaaS markup per seat.
Milestone Tracking Timesheet Entry Client ReportingTrack grant funding, donor relationships, programme participants, and outcome reporting — without paying enterprise SaaS seat fees that erode your operational budget.
Donor CRM Grant Tracking Impact ReportingData Security & Ownership
Unlike SaaS platforms that store your business data in shared cloud environments, Author AI generates applications that run entirely on your own infrastructure — giving you absolute control over every byte.
Deploy to your own data centre or an isolated network with no internet dependency at runtime. Critical for defence, regulated manufacturing, and healthcare environments where data must physically stay within your facility.
Host on your AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud tenancy — not ours. You control IAM policies, encryption keys, network segmentation, and access logs. No multi-tenant shared infrastructure means no noisy-neighbour risk and no shared breach surface.
Database encryption, secrets management, and TLS certificates are entirely under your control. Author AI never generates or stores credentials on your behalf. Bring your own key management (KMS, Vault, HSM) — the application integrates seamlessly.
When regulators ask "where is your data?" — the answer is simple: on your servers, within your jurisdiction. This makes GDPR Article 46 transfers, HIPAA BAA obligations, and ISO 27001 data residency controls straightforward to satisfy and document.
Every generated application includes configurable RBAC out of the box — define exactly who sees what data, at field level if needed. Your IT team controls user provisioning, group policies, and audit logs without routing requests through a vendor support desk.
All activity logs, access records, and change histories are stored in your own database, in open SQL format. Export them, query them, integrate with your SIEM — there's no vendor portal required to retrieve your own compliance evidence.

Who It's For
You don't need to be a developer to build with Author AI. But developers will love what it outputs.
Turn your spreadsheet-driven workflows into real applications. Track inventory, approvals, and reporting without waiting months for IT to build something for you.
Build compliance and quality management systems where data sovereignty is non-negotiable. Self-host on your own infrastructure — no patient or QMS data ever leaves your control.
Digitise your factory floor without a 6-figure MES implementation project. Generate a tailored Manufacturing Execution System in days, not months.
Reduce shadow IT and eliminate point-solution sprawl. Give your departments a governed platform to build the apps they need — with code your team owns and controls.
Deliver bespoke client applications in hours, not weeks. Download the source code and hand it over. No runtime licence for your client to maintain — just a working app they own.
Enterprise-grade software without enterprise-grade pricing. Build exactly what you need for your team — CRM, donor management, project tracking — without 6-figure licence fees.
