The journey from a complex business idea to a reliable, production-ready software service is often littered with obstacles. Developers grapple with infrastructure setup, boilerplate code, API versioning, and ensuring data integrity across services. The core business logic—the actual value you want to deliver—can get lost in a sea of operational complexity.
Enter Functions.do. We built a platform to tear down these barriers. By treating business logic as simple, version-controlled, and typesafe functions, we empower developers to go from idea to production-ready API in minutes. It’s a "Functions-as-Code" approach, but with an agentic, AI-powered framework that handles the hard parts for you.
But what does this mean in practice? What can you actually build? Let's explore some powerful use cases that demonstrate how Functions.do transforms complex processes into simple, executable functions.
Generating a business plan, a go-to-market strategy, or even a simple lean canvas requires significant time, research, and domain expertise. It's a high-value task that's notoriously difficult to standardize and scale.
The Problem: You have a new product idea but need to quickly validate its business potential and create shareable planning documents for stakeholders.
The Functions.do Solution: Execute a high-level function that encapsulates this entire strategic process. Using our platform, you can call a pre-defined or custom-built agentic workflow that does the heavy lifting.
import { Client } from 'functions.do';
const fns = new Client({ apiKey: 'your_api_key_here' });
// Define the core idea
const idea = {
productName: 'Instantaneous Cloud Deployments',
problem: ['Deploying web apps is slow and complex for indie developers.'],
customerSegments: ['Solo Founders', 'Freelance Developers']
};
// Execute the function to generate a complete business model
const leanCanvas = await fns.run('generate/lean-canvas', idea);
// Get a reliable, typesafe result
console.log(leanCanvas.uniqueValueProposition);
// "Deploy any web application in 60 seconds."
The Benefit: Abstract away hours of manual research and writing into a single, reliable function call. This allows your team to rapidly iterate on ideas, test hypotheses, and generate consistent, professional-grade strategic documents on demand.
Incomplete data is a silent killer for sales and marketing teams. A new user signs up with just an email, or a lead comes in with only a company name. To personalize outreach or score the lead effectively, you need more context—company size, industry, location, and technology stack.
The Problem: Manually enriching CRM records is a tedious, error-prone task that consumes valuable time. Stitching together multiple third-party data APIs is an engineering challenge in itself.
The Functions.do Solution: Create a single, composable function that orchestrates multiple data-gathering steps. This function can take a company domain, query various APIs (like Clearbit, HUNTER, or public databases), and consolidate the results into a single, clean, and typesafe object.
// Define the input for the enrichment function
const newLead = {
email: 'jane@examplecorp.com',
domain: 'examplecorp.com'
};
// A single function call can trigger a complex workflow
const enrichedProfile = await fns.run('enrich/company-profile', newLead);
// The output is structured and predictable, every time.
console.log(enrichedProfile.firmographics.industry);
// "Software as a Service (SaaS)"
console.log(enrichedProfile.firmographics.employeeCount);
// 500
The Benefit: Automate your entire data enrichment pipeline. Ensure that every lead in your system is clean, complete, and actionable without writing or maintaining complex integration code. The typesafety guarantee means you'll never have to deal with unexpected null values or schema mismatches in your application.
Basic chatbots can answer simple FAQs, but they fail the moment a customer has a real, multi-step problem, like processing a refund or tracking a lost order. This forces human agents to spend their time on repetitive, procedural tasks.
The Problem: Your support team is overwhelmed with common requests that require looking up data and performing actions across multiple systems (e.g., your database, Stripe, and an email client).
The Functions.do Solution: Build an agentic workflow that automates the entire resolution process. Functions.do is designed to handle these multi-step, stateful operations seamlessly.
// A support ticket comes in via your helpdesk API
const supportRequest = {
customerEmail: 'support-inquiry@email.com',
request: 'Hi, I need to cancel and refund my last order, #98765.'
};
// Execute a function that embodies the entire support workflow
const resolution = await fns.run('handle/customer-refund-request', supportRequest);
// The function handles verification, API calls, and confirmation
console.log(resolution.status);
// "SUCCESS"
console.log(resolution.details);
// "Order #98765 has been refunded. Confirmation sent to customer."
Behind the scenes, the handle/customer-refund-request function could:
The Benefit: Free up your human support agents to focus on high-touch, complex customer issues. Provide instant, 24/7 resolution for common problems, dramatically improving customer satisfaction.
You might be thinking, "Can't I just build this with AWS Lambda?" While traditional FaaS platforms provide the raw infrastructure, Functions.do provides a complete, managed framework designed for business outcomes.
These use cases are just the beginning. From dynamic financial modeling to programmatic SEO content generation, Functions.do provides the abstraction layer to turn any complex business process into a simple, reliable, and scalable API.
Stop wrestling with infrastructure and start delivering business value.
