What You Get

Every app starts with
enterprise batteries included.

Stop building infrastructure. Start building features.

Auth & SSO

Every user is already authenticated. Role-based access, team sharing, and external user support built in.

App Workspace

Isolated Postgres schema per app. SQL migrations with one-click deploy. Full CRUD out of the box.

Server Routes

File-based routing in sandboxed V8 isolates. Write server-side logic without managing infrastructure.

AI & Agents

Copilot sidebar with two-way tool calling. Autonomous agents on events or schedules. Tiered model selection.

One-Command Deploy

Build, run migrations, and publish in a single command. No CI/CD pipeline to configure. No hosting to manage.

Multi-Platform Delivery

Ship once, deliver everywhere. Desktop via Electron, mobile via Capacitor, embeddable via iframe.

The Value

What you don't have to build.

Every app on the platform skips months of infrastructure work. These aren't features you opt into — they're services every app gets automatically.

Without the platform
  • ✕ Build auth system (2-4 weeks)
  • ✕ Set up AI infrastructure (1-2 weeks)
  • ✕ Build data connectors (4-8 weeks)
  • ✕ Configure hosting & CI/CD (1-2 weeks)
  • ✕ Build mobile app (4-8 weeks)
  • ✕ Implement audit logging (1-2 weeks)
  • ✕ Security review (2-4 weeks)
15-30 weeks before writing business logic
On Informer Platform
  • ✓ All of the above: already done
  • ✓ Write your business logic
  • ✓ Deploy
Start with business logic on day one
