Why NocoBase

AI writes code fast.
Building reliable business systems is still hard.

Your team is already developing with AI or vibe coding. Code gets written fast, but new problems come with it.

01

Every project rebuilds the foundation

Even with AI writing the code, permissions, workflow engines, and approvals are hard to design from scratch. They are full of edge cases and take a lot of work to maintain.

02

Architecture drifts out of control

Switch developers, models, or even sessions, and the AI may improvise differently each time. The system gets harder and harder to maintain.

03

Parallel work outpaces human review

You juggle several projects and issues, switching between terminals and chats, while agents hand back more and more changes. There is more than anyone can review, but letting go feels too risky.

04

Know-how is hard to capture and share

Requirement context, business documents, and lessons learned are scattered across chat sessions on different computers. When people or agents change, they are hard to find.

NocoBase Core

Let agents focus on your business logic.
The foundation is ready.

NocoBase Core is the open-source application foundation for business systems built and run with AI. Permissions, workflows, files, and other building blocks come ready to use, so agents build only what is specific to your business, all on one consistent architecture.

Proven building blocks, ready to use

Core provides 20+ building blocks, including permissions, workflows, files, and notifications, so agents can focus on business logic.

One architecture, one set of standards

Core provides project scaffolding, architecture standards, and development skills, so the architecture stays consistent and under control as people and models change.

You own your apps and data

Core is free and open source. Your business code and data stay in your own repositories and on your own servers, and you choose your own models and agents.

NocoBase Studio

Agents keep the work moving.
Your team stays in control.

NocoBase Studio is the governance platform for people and agents building software together. It brings Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode into one agent team that moves issues forward on its own. Progress is clear at a glance, and people make the key decisions.

NocoBase Solution

Open-source business apps.
AI-driven, ready out of the box.

NocoBase Solution is a line of agent-driven business apps built on Core. Agents do most of the work, and people make only the key decisions.

Agents take the initiative

Each app comes with built-in business agents that follow your rules and proactively take on most of the work, such as checking refunds and handling tickets.

People own the key decisions

Agents show the evidence behind their work, and key decisions are always made by a person. Each agent inherits the permissions of the person it works for, so data stays secure.

Easy to customize

Every app is built on NocoBase Core, with its consistent architecture and reliable foundation, so you can have a coding agent customize it.

Free, open source, ready to use

Every Solution app is free and open source, runs on your own servers, and works with the model of your choice.

FAQ

How is NocoBase different from vibe coding?

Vibe coding makes building software much faster. But once a project involves complex business logic, many people, and years of iteration, AI-generated code alone isn’t enough. You also need a reliable application foundation, consistent development standards, and sound governance. NocoBase doesn’t replace vibe coding. It builds on it, adding the foundation and governance.

Building blocks

Without NocoBase

AI generates permissions, workflows, approvals, and other foundational modules from scratch for every project. That is costly, and hard to make reliable.

NocoBase

Core provides ready-made building blocks, and agents build only the business logic.

Architecture standards

Without NocoBase

Switch developers, models, or sessions, and the AI may improvise. The architecture gradually drifts.

NocoBase

Core provides one project structure, development standards, and development skills, so the system evolves steadily for years on a consistent architecture.

Governance

Without NocoBase

Agents hand back more and more changes, more than anyone can review, so they often get accepted as they are. Problems pile up.

NocoBase

Studio coordinates multiple agents through design, development, testing, and review. Key decisions go to a person, with reports and screenshots as evidence.

Know-how

Without NocoBase

Requirement context, project documents, and lessons learned are scattered across individual chat sessions.

NocoBase

Studio captures methods and experience in skills, the knowledge base, and project memory, so a new person or agent can pick up where the last one left off.

Open Source & Self-Hosting

Free, open source, self-hosted.
Your code and data belong to you.
