Foundation Components Lifecycle AI Get started

Platform

Model-driven platform for business systems

Full platform. AI accelerates.

Anybuild starts from a shared model and keeps data, workflows, views, UI, reporting, and security aligned. AI speeds up parts of the work while the platform keeps structure, rules, and lifecycle.

How the platform is structured

Model Entities, relations, constraints, rules, default values.

Shared system foundation

Views Reusable data layer for UI, reporting, and logic.

Workflows Reusable and nestable processes with triggers and actions.

UI Generated screens plus custom components when needed.

Security Built-in access control extended into the domain.

Run and change Systems evolve on top of the same structure instead of being rebuilt.

One model

Data, views, UI, workflows, reporting, and security use the same structure.
Change it once and it updates everywhere.

Hosting, database, domains, and security are already included. No extra setup.

Data path

Model → Views → UI / Reporting

Event path

Triggers → Workflows → Actions → APIs

Access

Security applies across all parts, not per screen.

How systems are defined

More than one way to build

Start from text, diagram, point-and-click, or code. All of them work on top of the same platform.

AI Generate the first version from requirements or a spec.

Diagram Define entities and relations visually through ERD and graph views.

Manual and code Use designers, SQL, and custom UI when more control is needed.

Core components

System layer

All parts work together. Not separate tools.

Data Logic Interface Integration

Data

Data model

Entities, relations, schemas, constraints, business rules, default values.

The model is the foundation of the system.

It defines structure, validation, relationships, and behavior in one place.

Everything else - UI, workflows, views, reporting - builds on top of it.

Views & SQL

Reusable data layer with design mode and SQL code mode.

Define data using visual tools or SQL.

Views are reused across UI, reporting, workflows, and integrations.

Encourages modular logic and avoids duplication.

Logic & automation

Workflows

Reusable, nestable processes for business logic.

Combine smaller workflows into larger processes.

Used for automation, state changes, and system behavior.

Triggers

Manual, event-based, scheduled, and webhook-driven.

Run workflows when something happens in the system or externally.

Supports real-time reactions and background processing.

Security

Built-in roles, users, and extendable domain security.

Apply permissions not just globally but within business structures.

Security is enforced consistently across the system.

Interface

UI & Widgets

Autogenerated UI plus custom components.

Forms and layouts are generated from the model.

Custom widgets and full pages can be created and extended.

Supports internal and external UI development.

Reporting & Spreadsheets

Views, reports, and spreadsheet-based analytics.

Use views as data sources for reports.

Spreadsheet engine supports complex layouts like financial reports.

Multi-user, structured alternative to Excel.

Functions & Logic

Reusable logic components with parameters.

Define logic once and reuse across the system.

Supports both design mode and SQL-based implementation.

Encourages modular, maintainable systems.

Field types

Structured data definitions reused across entities.

Define reusable field types with validation and behavior.

Ensures consistency across the data model.

Integration

APIs & Integrations

Custom routes, webhooks, and external APIs.

Define custom API routes and handle them with workflows.

Workflows can call other workflows, use views, read and write data, and apply full system logic.

Connect to any external API. If an API exists, Anybuild can use it.

Prebuilt connectors (for example Microsoft Office) are available, but there is no limitation.

Lifecycle

Built to change

Systems do not stop after the first version. The same platform is used to define, run, and change them over time.

Define Create structure through AI, diagrams, designers, or code.

Run Use the platform foundation for security, workflows, views, UI, and reporting.

Change Update the model and keep extending the same system instead of rebuilding it.

Already included

Authentication, roles, permissions, triggers, scheduling, reusable views, autogenerated UI, reporting, hosting, database, and domains are already part of the platform.

Define data once

Reuse across UI and reports

Run logic with workflows

React with triggers

Control access everywhere

Extend without rebuilding

AI where it helps

Use AI across requirements, modeling, SQL, UI, and application features. It accelerates work while the platform keeps structure, rules, and lifecycle.
