Setup backend in 5 mins

0:00/0:00

This video shows how to stand up a backend for an app in under five minutes with DYPAI. The example is a simple task manager—enough to see how everything fits together.

What you start with

In DYPAI you already have a project, but it can still be empty: no tables or endpoints yet.

Inside the project, open MCP, copy the MCP credentials, and add them in your IDE (Cursor in the video—Windsurf, VS Code, or others work the same way). Once configured, DYPAI tools should show up for your assistant.

Ask your AI agent to implement the full login flow for the app. The tutorial uses Composer 1 on purpose: it is fast and not the “smartest” model, to show that DYPAI stays versatile and quick to build with. Paste your prompt and run.

Your repo can be almost empty—for example Next.js (you could use another framework or even target mobile; Next is just a common choice). The agent will use DYPAI tools, read what it needs, and install missing packages for you.

When the first phase finishes, the agent will remind you to set the public URL of your DYPAI project: DYPAI → Connect, copy the project URL, put it in your environment variables (for example .env.local in Next.js), save, restart the dev server, and open the app.

You should see a login screen. Register a user: DYPAI sends a verification email. Confirm your account and you land inside the app—auth is live.

Phase 2 — App features

Go back to the agent and ask it to build the rest of the application (task features for this example).

While it works, watch DYPAI Web:

Database — tables the agent creates (maybe a single simple table at first).
API — endpoints appear as they are generated. They are not “plain REST only”: in DYPAI they are built as workflows tied to your database, with room for integrations (more will land in the coming weeks—including things like payments later).

The agent can validate and test endpoints as it goes; if something is wrong, it iterates and fixes errors.

Try it end-to-end

Create a test task, toggle it active, then open Database and confirm the row. In a few minutes you have authentication, first tables, and connected endpoints.

To go further, keep iterating with your AI agent and DYPAI—same pattern for storage, deeper settings, more complex workflows, payment gateways, and more. More videos are on the way.

Phase 1 — Login with the AI

You should see a login screen. Register a user: DYPAI sends a verification email. Confirm your account and you land inside the app—auth is live.
