Refine

AI-driven platform designed to accelerate the development of enterprise internal tools and B2B applications.

Overview

Refine is an AI-driven platform designed to accelerate the development of enterprise internal tools and B2B applications. It connects to your existing REST APIs or Supabase projects and uses AI agents to generate production-grade React-based applications with minimal manual coding.

The platform supports a flexible workflow: connect your data sources, let Refine's AI analyze and plan your application structure, develop interactively in a web IDE, and export pure React code or publish directly. It's built for both rapid prototyping ("vibe coding") and specification-driven development, with features like self-hosting, SSO integration, and fine-grained access control for enterprise compliance.

Key features

AI-powered code generation from API schemas
Web-based IDE for interactive development
REST API and Supabase integration
One-click export to pure React code
Self-hosting capability
SSO and identity provider support (Okta, Azure AD, Cognito)
Fine-grained access control (ACL, RBAC, ABAC)
Audit logging and usage analytics
Netlify hosting integration

Pros

Dramatically reduces development time for internal tools
Generates clean, exportable React code with no vendor lock-in
Flexible for both rapid prototyping and structured development
Strong enterprise security features including self-hosting
Backed by Y Combinator and prominent VCs
Open-source foundation with active community

Cons

Requires existing API or Supabase backend to get started
Credit-based pricing model may be unclear for budget planning
Learning curve for teams unfamiliar with AI-assisted development
Limited information on offline capabilities or air-gapped deployments

Use this if

You need to rapidly build internal tools or admin dashboards from existing APIs, want AI assistance with code generation, or require enterprise security features like self-hosting and SSO.

Skip this if

You need a fully managed SaaS solution without self-hosting options, prefer traditional low-code platforms without AI, or don't have an existing backend API to connect.
