The backend for a vibe-coded app

An app built with an AI builder still needs sign-in, protected data, payments and server-side AI before people can pay for it. Gemmein adds that backend, and can host the app too. You keep your front end, build for free, and your AI connects it.

01 / OVERVIEW

What Gemmein adds to your app

An AI builder gets you a working interface fast. It does not set up what sits behind it: who a person is, what they can see, how they pay, and how an AI feature runs without exposing your provider key. Gemmein provides that part.

02 / WHAT YOU STILL NEED

Four things to add

Protected data

Records live in collections, and each collection has one of eight server-enforced safety rules, so one person can never read another's records.

Payments and access

Stripe is built in, any provider that signs its webhooks to a supported standard connects through a relay, and App Store and Play purchases arrive through RevenueCat. The money goes to your own account. Access and credits are granted when the signed payment webhook arrives; the checkout redirect grants nothing.

Server-side AI

Your provider key stays on the server, and your app calls named AI tools priced in credits. Where your key should live.

03 / HOW YOU ADD IT

Check the fit, then build

Before you install anything, have your agent read the guide and check whether Gemmein fits. The guide opens with a checklist that maps your app's needs against what Gemmein supports, and your agent gives you a verdict. Building is free: on your computer against a local backend, or in Development through the Gemmein connector. You add a card only when you go live.

Set up the AI you build with.

04 / SCOPE

What Gemmein does not include

Sign-in is by sign-in code only. Social sign-in, team roles and SSO are not part of Gemmein. If something is not described in the docs, it is not built. Plan around these limits before you build.

05 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to rebuild my app?

No. You keep the front end you built, and your AI connects it. Gemmein can host it for you, or it stays where it runs now.

Which builders does this work with?

Any web front end, including apps started in Lovable, Bolt, Base44 or v0, through one JavaScript and TypeScript SDK. On mobile, Expo and React Native apps use the SDK's Expo entry and Apple apps use the Swift package.
