AI is the big thing for personal productivity
and business in 2025.
And throughout the last two years,
you and I have looked through all kinds of AI tools
and technologies and platforms,
but we have completely skipped out
on one of the biggest markets out there.
That is the mobile platform, or basically the app store.
And that is mobile, or apps.
And in this video, I'm gonna show you a platform
where you can build end-to-end,
ready-for-production iOS and Android apps.
And you can do all of that with AI
with no coding experience.
So mobile or mobile phones
is one of the big platforms out there.
We're talking billions and billions of users
in a market that is ripe for disruption with AI.
Now, mobile is also one of the things
that a lot of people don't focus on.
So if we think about the rise of buying coding
over the past few years,
nearly everyone there focuses that on web apps
or web applications or websites that are built with AI.
But much less people, many fewer people
are doing that on the mobile side.
And so I think there is some more opportunity there,
even in just taking what has worked on the web app side
and translating that over onto the mobile platform side.
That said, we're going to use the Famous.ai platform
for this video as the no-code AI builder.
Famous.ai is what they call
a synthetic intelligence platform
that builds production-ready apps
across three different verticals.
So web applications, native mobile apps,
and crypto projects with built-in smart contracts.
And so what makes Famous.ai different
is that it's handling the entire pipeline
from concept to deployment.
We're not talking about generating some messy code
that you then have to debug for hours.
Famous.ai analyzes your prompt,
crafts custom designs tailored to your vision,
and builds completely working, fully functional apps.
So that's with authentication, databases,
all the features that you need
in minutes with no code experience needed.
Now for mobile specifically,
you're getting native iOS and Android apps
that feel like they were built by Apple
or Google themselves.
You can publish directly to the App Store
and the Play Store.
You get native performance, push notifications,
offline support, and here's the kicker,
one-click updates to already published apps.
And that is why we're using Famous.ai for this video.
So if you want to iterate or add features lately,
just because you can't code
doesn't mean you can't do that.
You can continue to upgrade your app over time
using AI on the Famous.ai platform.
Now the code itself is clean and modular.
It follows all best practices,
and it actually scales.
So this is production-ready code,
production-grade software, not a prototype.
And again, the best part is you don't need
to know how to code to do absolutely any of this.
Now that said, you learn best by doing.
So if you want to follow along
with the exact demos and walkthroughs
that we're going to walk through,
no pun intended, in this video,
then you can try Famous.ai out.
Just create an account and just run through it
while I'm running through it in this video with you.
You can do that by heading to this link on the screen
or hit that link in the description.
So if you have an idea right now,
you can go sign up completely for free
and build your app while we're building an app
in this video.
Let's get into the build.
Okay, now if you watch this channel,
you know that when we're using AI tools
and using them to create various things,
we want to do it with AI end-to-end
just for the sake of demonstration,
because we can and we couldn't do that a year or two ago.
So I'm going to jump over to XactJPT.
I think we were just using this for a different video
if you've seen that one.
And what I'll say is,
give me 10 practical app ideas that are useful,
solve a micro kind of point problem that people face
and I can monetize easily.
So we want to focus on apps that we can commercially develop
and let's just go ahead and see what GPT says.
Okay, so just a first glance here,
I do like the idea of a parking finder and timer,
water reminder and gamification.
I like that.
That is a pretty cool one.
Certainly useful health wise for a lot of people.
Micro learning flashcards, that is great as well.
So I say for our three ideas,
we're going to do micro learning flashcards,
a water reminder with gamification
and then a parking finder and timer as well.
So now all I'm going to do,
I'm going to take this JackGPT prompt,
I'm going to go paste it into famous.ai
and what I'll say is I want a mobile app build
in the bottom right here.
That's important.
And I'll say app idea
and I do want to turn on genius mode here
since that throws essentially more compute at the problem.
Okay, so genius mode is on.
We're switching to mobile app and let's go.
Okay, so you can see the first thing
that the app is going to do is create a full on plan.
So it creates a design vision right here,
typography, the core functionality
and then it goes ahead
and starts using all these specialized models.
So a text to image model, a design model,
a thinking or reasoning model
and it's going to pull those together
to start building the app in the background
and we can switch between code editor right here
in our preview mode for the mobile app right here.
Okay, and we can see right here a little status update,
the fully functional React native app
looks like it's been built
and if we did want this for the Apple iOS store,
which we'll do on the other builds,
we do want this in Swift as well.
Okay, so here is the first app.
We can see this in the little preview section.
So never lose your car again,
pin your location, set reminders,
find your car instantly
and it looks like we can see
our active parking under features.
We have free features,
so reminders, pin location and navigation.
This is actually pretty useful.
This is something I think could be a solid app.
What I don't like about it currently,
it looks like these features work,
it's just the design,
it looks kind of childish to me
and there's things like the index at the top.
So what I'm going to do is say,
work on the design.
I want this to look professional and modern
with and especially work on the header.
Now you can also see that it gives me suggestions
of what it could build or add to the app here.
So user auth, real GPS integration, payment processing,
that is things we need to do
to actually fill out the features of the app.
Let's start with the UI
and then work it into the additional features.
Okay, so here's the revised landing page.
I like this a lot more for sure.
There's a few kind of small changes
that we want to see here
and it looks like the time little feature is broken,
but the design here is superb.
I think we can head over to features.
This looks good.
Pricing looks good as well and history as well.
So what I'm going to say is fix the time remaining button,
but I'll also do,
I'm just going to screenshot what isn't working.
I'll upload that right there.
And then I'm also going to tell it
to just remove the little,
remove the transparent rectangle shape.
And let's feed it that.
Okay, so you can see that the little rectangle issue
was fixed there.
That looks perfect.
And the time remaining works as well
because that number will go up
once you actually start a session.
So all we need to do now
is actually integrate the location services.
So this is going to add on the backend
actual GPS location tracking without me having to code,
which is pretty cool.
Okay, that said, the GPS location accuracy is fully set up.
We're good to go.
Now what we can do is deploy this first app.
I'm going to click publish right here,
and this will literally go and submit this
to the app store immediately.
We do that, we're pretty much done, right?
So there's a few ways to do that.
There's Google Cloud account, which is free for Android.
Now the Apple side of things,
you do have to pay a little bit for.
What I'm going to go ahead and say is just,
I have a Google Play console account.
We're going to deploy this to Android,
and then we're going to deploy one other app,
different app to the Apple developer account.
Okay, so I'm going to select,
I have all four of these accounts.
I can use a app icon that is generated.
We'll go ahead and do that.
Okay, so now we're on to app idea number two.
I turned on genius mode, click on mobile app,
and we'll go ahead and get started.
Okay, here is app number two.
This is a really fun one.
It looks like we have a kind of a plant
that grows over time as we add more water that we've drunk.
We have stats right here,
and then plants with different rewards also
for the achievements that you can unlock,
and then plants that grow over time,
and you get additional plants with premium.
Now, I really like the kind of achievement
in the plant structure here, so that's awesome.
What I don't like is milliliters instead of cups,
so what I want to say is switch ML to cups
because people are much more familiar with cups,
so we want to frame the goal that way.
I also don't like the top bar here again.
Improve the header bar.
Looks bad right now.
And make sure plants have no background images.
Right now, there's that little white background there,
so I'm gonna give it those three improvements,
and we'll see what comes out there.
Okay, so we can see that the plants have been created
with now no background image.
That looks a lot better, and we can see cups right here,
so you can click add one cup, two cup, three cups of water
for our eight cups per day.
I want to keep this one simple, to be honest.
I like these emojis a lot more.
That looks awesome right there.
What we want to do right now
is just integrate the payment side of it,
so integrate payment features.
Once we do that, we are good to launch.
Now, I selected Stripe to be integrated,
so that's the build that we're going to continue with.
Okay, so on this demo Stripe account,
I've copied the publishable key.
That's just a code you need to publish
on any payment platform or just connect to an API.
I'm gonna paste that in here and click submit,
and then we're going to be able to have actual payments
integrated in the app.
Okay, so Stripe is successfully implemented.
We can now accept payments on this app
by upgrading to premium right here
and starting that free trial.
That'll open a Stripe checkout portal in the app,
and that said, we are good to publish here as well
and deploy the app.
And app idea number three, microlearning flashcards.
Let's get the build.
Okay, here's app number three.
This one is my personal favorite by far.
This just looks so good, right?
Learn something new in five minutes.
Replace mindless scrolling with bite-sized learning.
Start learning for free, five-minute commitment,
95% retention rate.
This is pretty awesome.
You can see the animation on the screen here as well.
And this was all done with one prompt.
So I think this is 100% my favorite so far.
It's kind of a landing page style feel here.
And then under decks,
we have everything that was, again,
completely one-shotted, one prompt for this.
Financial literacy, world capitals.
And it looks like this was actually built out, right?
We can go ahead and select the different cards here.
So that's awesome.
And we can see our progress.
I think all we need to do here is just add some,
like fill out the features really,
because I think some of the features,
like user auth weren't fully built out.
So let's just say do next user auth.
And honestly, we might be good to go after that.
We might've just one-shotted this full-on app.
So this is where some of the integrations come in.
So what this app does is it connects to Superbase,
which is an authentication platform for the backend.
And it does that for you, is the really nice thing.
So what we can do, we can go over to Superbase
and then to access tokens.
And that's what this looks like.
I'll click generate a new token.
And we'll call that famous.ai.
I'll generate that token.
Then I'll go ahead and copy that token.
And I will paste it over here.
And now just with that,
it's gonna set up the whole Superbase backend for me,
which is how you do, again, authentication,
login and database storage, like file storage,
that kind of thing.
And I'm gonna create a new Superbase database.
And there we go.
It is setting up the database.
Okay, so we have a fully integrated backend now on this app.
Again, I think this looks awesome.
We actually have language, finance,
geography, technology,
decks all built out here
with the profile and everything set up.
And now we can sign in.
And you can see here,
we can go ahead and actually create an account,
sign in, track our progress and so on.
I think this is ready to go into production.
The last thing that we need to do is just create more decks.
So what I'm gonna say is, nice.
Now go ahead and fill out
the app's content space
with many more great decks.
And let's see what it comes up with.
Okay, so it looks like another 20 decks
have been added here now.
You can scroll through here.
We have the basics from last time.
French essentials, German starter pack,
more language, Japanese, Italian,
biology, chemistry, physics.
There's a whole lot here.
And again, I mean, I think this is awesome.
This could be something.
And we're gonna publish it in just a second.
And again, so you can see what this actually looks like.
I can click start learning.
Hello, hola.
Thank you.
Como estas?
Now, if we come over here,
we're gonna publish this one as well.
Now, I wanna very briefly touch on
the marketing side of this.
So you have your app
and that's all the build stuff that we covered.
How do you go about actually marketing and growing it?
Now, there are a lot of channels out there
that are focused purely on marketing your app 100%.
Go watch those.
I am not by any means the expert in this domain.
I do wanna point out two things.
So first, what we talk about on this channel a lot
is the system of marketing and how to approach that.
You can see some videos on the screen here.
You can go watch those.
They're great resources for that kind of high level.
How should you approach marketing
once you have your app or your business?
Now, number two, you can run paid ads
and directly tie them into apps.
So what you can do is you can take the pixel code
or the tracking code for platforms like Google ads
or Facebook ads,
and then you can tie that into the actual code of your apps.
And then you can track conversion events.
And so you can actually optimize your ads
based on the kind of results that they actually get.
So I 100% recommend at the very least during this build,
when you're building the ad,
make sure to include pixel codes from the ad platforms
so that once you get to marketing,
you can actually run paid ad campaigns
as part of your marketing efforts.
And again, go watch those resources on YouTube.
I'll link some channels that I like personally
on this front in the description.
And that pretty much is the whole process
from your idea to actually building the app
to then actually marketing it.
So you've now seen Famo.ai build native iOS and Android apps
and do all of that with no code needed.
And you saw those other features
that we've talked about throughout this video.
Now, again, if anything stood out for you,
you can bring one of your ideas to life
or start a business today.
You can do that by heading to Famo.ai
or click the link in the description.
You can get started completely for free.
So whether you want to launch your first app
for your seasoned developer looking to scale faster
or just get more done personally,
this is the way to do it.
This is the next generation of vibe mobile coding.
That's a term now.
And genuinely, this is the best tool
for this kind of thing in my experience,
which is why we're using it for this video.
So again, make sure to head to this link on the screen
or the link in the description.
And that said, thank you all for watching
and I'll see you in the next one.
Cheers.
