Today i'm Open Sourcing "Rilable" The iOS app that builds Web apps and iOS Apps. I built it with Fable 5 in 10 prompts. (~ $210 in tokens on API pricing) All apps are built with Claude Models, and every app spins up a sandbox (Exactly like Lovable) using Daytona. Database is Convex. The app allows you to build apps that have AI features for this it uses Vercel AI gateway, and iOS apps are using Chorus.com iOS skill (All links below)

chatgpt has 800 million weekly active users and it just became one of the biggest software distribution platform in history. i went on my first million to break down the wealth creation moment of chatgpt apps. for the first time, discovery, intent, and transaction all happen in the same place. when someone needs to solve a problem, they open chatgpt, describe what they want, and the right app surfaces instantly. there is no searching, downloading, or sign-up flow. the opportunity is to build apps that meet users at that exact moment of intent. apps that quietly appear when someone needs help filing taxes, finding a doctor, repairing credit, or pulling a business document. note: LCA has announced we are building chatgpt apps, go to the website if you're a band doing $5M+ in revenue looking for an app. this is the new playbook for building chatgpt apps. build for intent by starting with the questions people already ask every day: help me, find me, do this for me. these are high-signal, high-conversion moments that don’t require advertising. connect to the real data users care about through the model context protocol. banking, healthcare, government filings, and crm systems all open up as inputs for automation. your app earns trust when it can act on real information instead of generating text. use openai’s sdk ui to make each workflow tangible. give people sliders to explore cost scenarios, maps for discovery, calculators for quick answers, and checklists for next steps. each interaction should feel like a single focused experience, not a mini website. monetize through action. the right chatgpt app earns the second it’s used, not through long funnels or paywalls. charge small transaction fees, take affiliate revenue from connected services, or add light subscriptions for repeat users. in this MFM pod i gave away 3+ startups ideas to get your creative juices flowing. thanks to Sam Parr for having me on and nerding out with me. history’s repeating itself. first websites, then mobile apps, now chatgpt apps. early builders always win.

In 2010, Apple asked NDTV to build a mobile app. NDTV wasn't interested. Apple suggested they have the app developed by Robosoft. Robosoft offered to build the app for free. They told NDTV that if the app proved successful from a business perspective, they should give a 25% revenue share to Robosoft. NDTV had nothing to lose and agreed to it. Robosoft had one condition: when the app launched, it should display 'Developed by Robosoft'. NDTV readily agreed to that as well, and that's how the first news app from India went live on an app store. All business decision-makers owned an iPhone back then, and NDTV was the only news app available. It so happened that all those decision-makers suddenly discovered Robosoft and started exploring the company for building their own apps, and at zero customer acquisition cost (CAC), Robosoft built hundreds of apps! That's the genius of Rohith Bhat. Catch the full episode on ಮುಂದೆ ಬನ್ನಿ here 👇

Vibe coders and creators can now tap into Pi Network’s massive user base of over 60 million Engaged Pioneers by easily bringing their external AI-created apps to Pi’s real distribution network and utility ecosystem through Pi App Studio! Creators, who may be technical developers or non-technical product people, can build apps using platforms such as Codex, Claude Code, Replit, Cursor, Lovable or other AI-assisted coding tools, and then use Pi App Studio to convert those apps into Pi Apps. That changes the equation for creators. AI can already help people generate apps quickly; the harder part is distribution and turning those apps into products people actually use. Pi helps close that gap. Instead of rebuilding infrastructure from scratch, creators can connect their apps to an existing ecosystem with users, payment capabilities, identity verification, decentralized human infrastructure and platform-level tools already in place. This feature makes Idea → App → Users that much faster. Because your ideas are too good not to be seen. Try the Pi App Studio Now! If you’re a vibe coder or know someone building apps with AI who needs distribution, head to Pi App Studio today to convert AI-created apps into Pi Apps and access the Pi ecosystem’s users, infrastructure, and monetization opportunities.

Most AI slop consumer apps will be DEAD in 5 years. I think this is where the market is headed I was bored today so I texted Rork to make me a Snake game. 2 minutes later I'm playing snake on my phone. I also did this yesterday with a to-do list app. In a way Rork is like a super app That can make apps on your phone. And it's not hard for consumers To utilize, This game took 1 prompt. most simple apps that can be one shotted with 1 prompt are most likely done for once this hits the consumer market. Eventually all the slop apps will be filtered out. And the apps that will survive are the ones that have community, gamification and identity that can't be replicated So Start building Genuine banger apps.

Let's build a Deepseek Wrapper (Mobile App) without writing a single line of code! Everyone is talking about building web apps with AI, but no one is talking about building mobile apps. This video tutorial and @senior_swc template (built by ) will help you get starting building an app on iOS. This is react native so it's also compatible with Android and Web (But we will cover this in a future video). The point of this video is to get some experience in the simulator and to start building an app. In a video, soon, we will take the app we've built, test it on our phone, and put it on Test-Flight! (Without writing ANY code!) Just a warning: The DeepSeek API has been tough to rely on. So I decided to add Gemini into my app as a backup, which you can do as well (with any AI model) The code for template is on the next tweet. Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:35 Setting Up Xcode and iPhone Simulator 02:29 Downloading and Configuring Cursor 04:10 Forking the Template and Initial Setup 06:10 Implementing Authentication with Clerk 08:23 Adding DeepSeek API and Testing 13:35 Enhancing the App with SupaData API 19:00 Using the Serp API to fetch video links 23:00 Figuring things out 27:30 Woohoo!!! Perplexitube Shout out to Galaxies-dev on GitHub, who's repo (chatgpt-clone-react-native), we very helpful in building this template quickly.
