Rust tool lets AI reverse-engineer and rebuild any app

Craft Anything scans a website, desktop program, mobile app or game, extracts its structure and behavior with real inspection tools, then an AI-driven coding agent generates a fresh project in the stack you specify. The output is automatically compared to the original and refined until it closely matches.

Why it matters. Developers who need fast prototypes or clean-room copies of existing software can use it to understand and recreate functionality without manual reverse-engineering.
