BUILD FIRST
- A non-sensitive or read-only version of the core experience
- A manual review step wherever correctness or trust matters
- A narrow companion tool that removes a real piece of work
LEAVE FOR LATER
- Regulated decisions, payments, or irreversible actions
- Claims of correctness, compliance, or uptime that the MVP cannot support
- Sensitive integrations until security, support, and auditability are ready
RESEARCH NOTES
What this tool actually does.
Caspio is a low-code cloud application platform centered on a fully managed Microsoft SQL Server database hosted on AWS. Users visually create tables, forms, and reports (called DataPages) and assemble them into responsive apps via drag-and-drop builders, including its newer Caspio Flex framework. It provides workflow automation with triggers and business rules, role-based access control, SSO/SAML/OAuth integration, and REST APIs/webhooks for connecting to CRMs, ERPs, and payment tools. AI tools can generate tables or app components from natural-language prompts and expose data to LLMs via an MCP server. The platform emphasizes enterprise compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2, FERPA, GDPR, PCI DSS) and charges by usage rather than per user. Additional features include embedding apps in websites/SharePoint, custom branding/domains, and GovCloud for federal workloads. Data is managed through web interf

Give this to your coding agent.
Build a focused replacement for the Caspio low-code database app platform. The workflow is: a non-developer defines relational tables through a visual interface, then creates forms, searchable grid reports, and detail views called DataPages that can be linked via URL parameters. Users assemble these DataPages into a responsive multi-page app with navigation, role-based visibility, and branding. The system must provide authentication (id/password plus optional SSO/SAML/OAuth), fine-grained permissions per table/record/field, business-rule workflow triggers (on-insert/update schedules), and a REST API plus webhooks for external systems.
Technical requirements: implement a relational database backend (e.g., Postgres) with an auto-generated CRUD REST API; front-end admin UI for table schema design, form/grid/report builders, and page navigation designer. Use a server-rendered app or React/Svelte for user-facing pages, with drag-and-drop layout and a design system for custom colors/logo/custom domain. Include file uploads, audit logging, email notifications, and CSV import/export. Provide a sample app (e.g., project tracking with tasks, assignee comments, dashboards) demonstrating linked DataPages, filtering, and role-based views. Add an embedded AI-assisted table generator from natural language using an LLM API.
Do not copy Caspio's branding, UI copy, or logo. Avoid recreating proprietary Caspio Flex internals. Out of scope: multi-region hosting, GovCloud/FIPS compliance, native mobile apps, MCP server integration, payment gateway connectors.
Deliver a README explaining setup, demo flow, environment variables, and important limitations (single-node deployment, no SOC 2/HIPAA claims, basic SSO). Name the project distinctively, e.g., 'Tablio' or 'StaplerBase', and explicitly note it is an independent, Caspio-inspired tool, not affiliated with Caspio.
