About
Xano is the unified backend for building and deploying production-grade apps and AI agents. Instead of stitching together databases, runtimes, APIs, auth, integrations, and monitoring—plus a separate orchestrator for agents—Xano provides everything in one secure, scalable platform.
Teams can model data, compose logic, expose secure APIs, and integrate with any system, while AI agents can use data and APIs, call external tools, and run server-side with observability and guardrails. Build visually, with AI, or in code from your IDE, then deploy with one click and scale automatically.
Xano works with any frontend, including Lovable, Bolt, WeWeb, Retool, and custom code, so you don’t need to rebuild as you grow. Compliance, reliability, and scaling are built-in, enabling teams to focus on the business logic that makes their software unique.
