What Hanzo App is
Hanzo App turns a plain-language description into an app, generating its interface, database schema, authentication and API. You can refine the result by chatting or editing code in an in-browser editor with a live preview, then deploy it to a live URL on Hanzo Cloud with its database, authentication, AI and storage connected. The builder can also import an existing GitHub repository. Each app gets Hanzo Base, an embedded datastore with realtime queries and a schema generated from the prompt. Apps can call more than 500 models—including Zen, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Mistral—through one gateway. API keys are held in Hanzo KMS rather than source code, and uploads go to object storage on the same account. Hanzo lists integrations and extensions across browsers, development, office, design, communications and business tools, as well as GitHub and GitLab. It describes the software as self-hostable.
