our call
Start with Wholesale Gorilla — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
Logik.io
Building a basic conditional form UI is easy, but Logik.io is a headless constraint solver with real-time rule evaluation and dynamic Bill of Materials (BOM) outputs. Rebuilding high-speed nested rule resolution with a non-technical admin UI requires significant software engineering that quickly spirals beyond an AI prompt.

- Step-by-step visual product configuration frontend wizard
- Basic conditional field visibility rules (if X selected, show Y)
- Frontend price accumulation based on selected variant attributes
- Standard JSON attribute payload generation for cart items
- Simple image swapping based on selected option variations
what you lose
- Sub-100ms headless rule engine built for enterprise catalog scale
- Visual drag-and-drop rule builder for non-developer product managers
- Dynamic Bill of Materials (BOM) multi-line creation for production ERPs
- Native multi-way synchronization with Salesforce CPQ and SAP
- Multi-attribute dynamic pricing matrices with volume dynamic recalculations

- High-performance constraint satisfaction engine evaluated at millisecond scale
- No-code administrative UI for operations and product teams to update complex business rules
