Emergent, a Y Combinator-backed company, launched a virtual, on-demand CTO engineer this month that develops production-ready apps with backends, databases, and integrations.
According to the company, this new vibe coding tool goes beyond agent prototypes and mockups, enabling the production of “full-stack applications with stunning UI and real backend, with no developers required.”
At its core, Emergent is an integrated platform that autonomously builds, tests, and ships software. The user describes his product in plain language, and the platform handles the architecture, logic, and implementation.
Emergent aims to democratize access to advanced software creation, as AI can truly understand what’s needed and build complete solutions.
The start-up claimed that in two weeks, users have built over 10,000 apps—these range from landing pages to SaaS tools like AI notetakers, Slack bots, and Figma plugins.
Emergent was founded by twin brothers, Indian-born and US-educated engineers, Mukund Jha (CEO) and Madhav Jha (CTO).
Emergent (@EmergentLabsHQ) is the agentic vibe-coding platform — your AI-powered CTO that transforms ideas into full-stack, production-ready products. No developers needed. Just pure system-level thinking.
Congrats on the launch @mukundjha & @madhavjha!https://t.co/CzGJ85oYd5 pic.twitter.com/unERutduQ9
