# Build Full-Stack Apps Using Chef by Convex

Convex has introduced Chef, an innovative AI agent designed for building full-stack applications seamlessly. Chef excels in both frontend and backend development, handling essential tasks such as real-time databases, file storage, authentication, and background jobs. Users can generate complex applications with just one prompt, and Chef manages the backend with Convex’s APIs.

One of the standout features of Chef is its ability to create complex applications, like an Instagram clone, by using user-provided prompts. It simplifies the development process by managing functions, tables, and file storage, thus allowing developers to focus on fine-tuning their apps.

The tool integrates additional functionalities that enhance Bolt's browser-based application building, including a built-in code editor and a preview link for easy testing. Chef enables real-time database management and includes crucial features such as file storage and vector embeddings. These capabilities are vital for modern applications, allowing for searches within embedded data.

While Chef shows immense potential, users have reported some issues such as the tool occasionally deleting added features and encountering TypeScript errors. Despite these hiccups, Chef’s promise in creating and managing full-stack applications is evident.

To help users explore Chef's capabilities, a detailed video tutorial is available. Initial tokens are provided for testing, with subsequent usage requiring a subscription or personal API keys. Chef represents a significant step forward in AI-powered code generation, making the process of building full-stack applications easier and more efficient.
