# Introduction

Autocode is the ultimate developer platform.

It combines **metaprogramming**, **code generation**, **code automation** and a **[powerful user interface](https://app.autocode.run)** to help you:

- Quickly build full stacks: frontends, backends and everything in between.
- Instantly add **anything** to your stack: frameworks, package managers, build tools, scripts and more.
- Go **beyond project scaffolding** - Autocode is with you through the life of your projects to help you innovate with every iteration.
- Generate code for **any language and framework** and automate the development of apps, websites, APIs and any other software.
