How to build a CRM with AI (and own it)
A CRM is the perfect first 'real app': per-user data, auth, dashboards, and search. Here's how to build one with AI on DevBX and actually own the result.
1. Describe the CRM
In DevBX, describe what you want: 'A CRM with contacts, companies, deals in a pipeline, notes, and login.' The agent scaffolds it on the devbx-app template — typed client↔server contract, SQLite, and auth already wired in.
2. Iterate freely
Add fields, a kanban pipeline, filters, CSV import — iterate as much as you like. Because you bring your own flat-rate key, fix-loops and refinements cost you nothing extra (no per-prompt credits).
3. Deploy with dev/prod + rollback
Publish to a public URL with a preview environment. Break things in dev; prod stays up. Promote with one click and roll back code and data if needed.
4. Own it
Your CRM is your code plus a single SQLite file containing every contact and deal — export it anytime. No vendor holds your customer data hostage.
