Why I stopped letting AI write my Clean Architecture (and built a generator instead)

I got tired of starting every single project by building the exact same things: CRUDs, MediatR handlers, FluentValidations, Docker configs, and Swagger setups.

Nowadays, the default advice is: "Just ask ChatGPT or Claude to do it."

But let's be honest: while LLMs are amazing at writing specific algorithms, they are terrible at cementing a robust, multi-tenant Enterprise architecture. If you ask an AI to build a strict Clean Architecture, by the fifth table, it starts hallucinating and injecting DbContext directly into your Controllers.

So, I spent the last few months building CoreGen Studio: a personal orchestration engine to generate production-ready backends from day 1, without the AI hallucinations.

❌ It is NOT No-Code.
✅ It is native, clean code.

Here is what it does in 15 seconds:
🚀 Generates complete projects in .NET 9 (Clean Architecture) or Laravel 11.
🛡️ Sets up CQRS, MediatR, and multiple independent DbContexts for multi-tenant isolation.
🔗 Orchestrates external integrations via Webhooks with dynamic JSON mapping.
🤖 AI-Ready: It automatically injects an agent.md and .cursorrules file into the root folder. When you open the project in Cursor or Windsurf, your AI assistant instantly knows the architectural rules and won't break your dependency injection.

I built this mainly for my own sanity, but I wanted to share the approach with the community.

I'm curious about your current workflow: Do you guys still write all your boilerplate and architecture by hand, or do you spend hours fighting with AI trying to fix its spaghetti code? 👇
