Claims a Rails 7 app with Postgres goes from existing spreadsheet or legacy DB to working CRUD and API docs in minutes by running a few commands. The demo uses the brick gem to create models/controllers/routes in RAM without files, introspects a Northwind database to detect foreign keys and build belongs_to/has_many associations, adds Avo to auto-generate admin resources, and mounts RSwag UI for Swagger docs — everything boots and the UI works live.
