From Prompt to Production: Building Entire Websites with AI, React 19 & Next.js 15

Learn how to use AIFA’s open-source AI tool to spin up production-ready websites from a single prompt using React 19 + Next.js 15. A full tutorial.

September 7, 2025

🚀 Introduction: The AI Website Generator Era

Imagine describing your dream website in plain English—

“A SaaS landing page with a hero, features, testimonials, and pricing.”

—and within minutes, having:

  • A fully branded site,
  • SEO-ready,
  • Auth-enabled,
  • Stripe-integrated,
  • Deployed globally on Vercel.

That’s the promise of AIFA’s open source AI-driven Next.js framework (GitHub repo).

This tutorial-style blog walks you step by step through:

  1. Cloning the repo and running locally.
  2. Understanding the core architecture (catch-all routes, PageHtmlTransformer, typed configs).
  3. Generating a page from a single natural-language prompt.
  4. Deploying to Vercel with global scaling.
  5. Adding Stripe for payments and Prisma/Neon for data.
  6. Going further: integrating ChatGPT, Claude, and autonomous AIFA agents.

By the end, you’ll have your own AI-powered website generator, ready to customize, extend, and scale.

🛠️ Part 1: Getting Started with AIFA

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/aifa-agi/aifa.git
cd aifa
npm install

Step 2: Start Development Server

npm run dev

Your dev server should start at http://localhost:3000.

⚙️ Part 2: The Core Architecture

At its heart, AIFA is spec-driven:

  1. You provide a natural-language prompt.
  2. AI generates a PageConfig (JSON spec).
  3. The framework renders a React 19 + Next.js 15 page from that spec.

🔹 Catch-All Routes

Next.js 15’s App Router with [...slug] lets AIFA resolve any path dynamically:

// app/[...slug]/page.tsx
import { PageHtmlTransformer } from "@/components/PageHtmlTransformer";
import { getPageConfig } from "@/lib/pageConfig";

export default async function Page({ params }) {
 const config = await getPageConfig(params.slug);
 return <PageHtmlTransformer config={config} />;
}

  • /pricing → Renders pricing page.
  • /blog/ai-tools → Renders AI blog article page.

📸 Screenshot suggestion:

  • Diagram showing prompt → JSON → Rendered React page.

🔹 PageHtmlTransformer

This component takes the AI-generated config and renders React components:

export function PageHtmlTransformer({ config }: { config: PageConfig }) {
 return (
   <>
     <Head>
       <title>{config.title}</title>
     </Head>
     {config.sections.map((section, i) => {
       switch (section.type) {
         case "hero":
           return <Hero key={i} {...section} />;
         case "features":
           return <Features key={i} {...section} />;
         case "pricing":
           return <Pricing key={i} {...section} />;
         default:
           return null;
       }
     })}
   </>
 );
}

This ensures predictability and safety—AI cannot generate random components outside your schema.

🔹 Strongly Typed Configs

AIFA enforces TypeScript types for all sections:

export type PageConfig = {
 title: string;
 sections: Section[];
};

type Section =
 | { type: "hero"; headline: string; cta: string }
 | { type: "features"; items: string[] }
 | { type: "pricing"; tiers: string[] };

If AI outputs type: "banana", it fails validation immediately.

✨ Part 3: Generate a Website from a Prompt

Step 1: Define Your Prompt

npm run generate "A SaaS landing page for FlowPilot with hero, features, testimonials, pricing"

Step 2: Output JSON

{
 "title": "FlowPilot - Automate Your Workflow",
 "sections": [
   { "type": "hero", "headline": "Automate Everything", "cta": "Start Free" },
   { "type": "features", "items": ["Smart Scheduling", "AI Integrations", "24/7 Support"] },
   { "type": "pricing", "tiers": ["Free", "Pro", "Enterprise"] }
 ]
}

Step 3: Build & Run

npm run build
npm start

Boom 💥 — your new SaaS landing page is live locally.

🌍 Part 4: Deploying to Vercel

  1. Push repo to GitHub:

git add .
git commit -m "First AI website"
git push origin main

  1. Log into Vercel.
  2. Import project → Connect GitHub repo.
  3. Deploy → Global edge scaling in <30s.

💳 Part 5: Adding Payments with Stripe

Install Stripe

npm install stripe @stripe/stripe-js

Create Checkout API

// app/api/checkout/route.ts
import Stripe from "stripe";
const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY!, { apiVersion: "2023-10-16" });

export async function POST(req: Request) {
 const { priceId } = await req.json();
 const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
   line_items: [{ price: priceId, quantity: 1 }],
   mode: "subscription",
   success_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_URL}/success`,
   cancel_url: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_URL}/cancel`
 });
 return Response.json({ url: session.url });
}

📊 Part 6: Database with Prisma + Neon

Install Prisma

npm install prisma @prisma/client
npx prisma init

Define Schema

model User {
 id        String   @id @default(cuid())
 email     String   @unique
 createdAt DateTime @default(now())
}

Migrate & Push

npx prisma migrate dev

Now your app has a production-grade Postgres backend.

  • Neon dashboard showing live database.

🧠 Part 7: Integrating AI Engines

  • ChatGPT: For generating PageConfigs.
  • Claude: For long-form documentation pages.
  • AIFA Agent: For continuous autonomous content generation.

Example integration:

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });

export async function generatePageConfig(prompt: string) {
 const res = await client.chat.completions.create({
   model: "gpt-4o-mini",
   messages: [{ role: "user", content: prompt }]
 });
 return JSON.parse(res.choices[0].message?.content || "{}");
}

This isn’t just about building sites faster. It’s about:

  • Spec-driven development replacing “prompt engineering.”
  • AI-native apps where humans set rules, AI handles execution.
  • Mass democratization of web development.

As AIFA evolves, we’ll see AI co-developers that:

  • Manage CI/CD pipelines,
  • Auto-generate unit tests,
  • Refactor codebases,
  • Monitor performance in real-time.

✅ Final Thoughts

AI isn’t replacing developers—it’s replacing boilerplate.

By adopting AIFA’s open-source spec-driven framework, you’ll:

  • Save hundreds of dev hours.
  • Build faster, safer, more scalable apps.
  • Focus on creative architecture, not debugging AI spaghetti code.
