Dyad — Technical Use Cases
1. Rapid Full-Stack Prototyping Use Dyad to scaffold full-stack web apps with database and authentication wired up via Supabase or Neon — without manually configuring boilerplate. Iterate on features through conversational prompts, then open the project in VS Code for fine-grained editing.
2. Local / Air-Gapped Development Connect Dyad to Ollama or LM Studio to run entirely offline. Suitable for environments with strict data-residency requirements or for developers who prefer not to send code context to external APIs.
3. Automated Deployment Pipelines Leverage Dyad's one-click GitHub push and Vercel deployment to move from prototype to live URL without leaving the app. Useful for quickly shipping internal tools or demos.
4. MCP-Extended Workflows Register custom MCP tools to give Dyad's AI access to your own APIs, internal data sources, or specialized tooling — extending the builder beyond its defaults for bespoke use cases.
5. Security-Conscious Code Generation Dyad's built-in security scanning evaluates generated code before deployment, providing a baseline safety check useful for teams shipping apps to end users.
6. Multi-Model Experimentation Switch between Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, and local models within the same project to compare output quality, cost, and latency — all without changing your workflow.
