How To Build an App in 40 Minutes (With No Experience)

Start building with your AI assistant today! 👉

LLMs are fantastic at generating code, but the code itself doesn’t do anything for you unless you know how to integrate it into a full project.

In this video, I’ll show you how to use AI to build a fully-functional website in a fraction of the time it would have taken without AI assistance.

    no, I don’t think you should do that

    Could we get a version of this building an iOS app? I haven’t seen a single person on YouTube do that yet. 🙂

  • @ObsidianFire-o7r says:

    Thank you for making a longer video showing exactly what the experience would be like using it. As a person who has no coding background and can’t bring myself to start learning how to code, I’ve been looking for something like this as I wanted to try out some ideas. I struggle with ADHD so this looks like breaking things down this way helps a lot.

    • @aiadvantage says:

      Yeah this is the way. I spent a weekend with the extension and I have to say that it works jsut as described. After the video I added another tab for a chat interface that let me select the model and now I am expanding the user management. Still haven’t touched a single line of code which is amazing.

  • @animalsofherewood says:

    Very cool

  • @konstantinos3424 says:

    Can I deploy that in my webpage without “watermarks” ? And how. Also can I add more ADVANCED UI for example with v0? Can they connect somehow ?

    • @aiadvantage says:

      Watermark is a part of the base template but you can definitely remove it. Not sure about integrating with v0. I asked the founders if they want to do more project because I genuinely enjoyed this let’s hope they are down 🙂

  • @____2080_____ says:

    I’ve used Pythagora and I agree that’s a great tool, but it was in fact the OG version of these tools that’s a lot different than tools like Aider/cursor.

    My experience is that it’s still a part of a larger workflow. If you combined.Pythagora with some of the foundational frameworks like.v0, Midday v1. That serves as a boiler plate, it will allow tools like.Pythagora to shine

    • @____2080_____ says:

      I’m not a software developer by trade but have babysitted many throughout my career.

      Ultimately, tools like this are going to be taken advantage of by the next iteration of billionaires who going to crate tomorrow’s companies.

      This is the type of thing that brings us back to. What’s really most important: having an understanding of ideas people need fixing.

      Whether it’s be to be, be to see, enterprise, consumer… Understanding what that is will allow for the value to be created in a way that’s far faster than has ever been in history

    • @____2080_____ says:

      11:04 now, this is something I’ve never done but with this, it’ll make me realize it’s something I wanted to do. Just look at the folders populate with the code. #Interesting.

    • @malcolmvanhilten125 says:

      @@____2080_____ This is Soo True. Knowing what to Code to add value is still the definitive barrier to success.

  • @JRS2025 says:

    When can we use it? I signed up to early access but no idea when it’s going to be available

  • @testadrome says:

    Does it work with python and other programming languages?

  • @tomjjen says:

    Very interesting. Though be careful about the sharing links: if the app doesn’t restrict them, then anyone who gets one can run up your anthropic bill – and I am not sure how well the AI generated app secures against injections….

    • @aiadvantage says:

      Yeah so for this tutorial I just deleted my api keys. And generally you can’t use the prompt templates without ligging in first so it wouldn’t matter.

  • @MaximilianFeichtinger says:

    Anyone got it?

  • @malcolmvanhilten125 says:

    Mind is Blown. I am a commercial sales type founder and have wanted tried to learn how to code many times over the last 30 years of my career. Now i can 🙂 Fantastic. Thanks Igor

    • @newfrontiers5673 says:

      Except you won’t “learn how to code” with this.

    • @aiadvantage says:

      Very true, this won’t teach coding (I didn’t open those files a single time except when I inserted the API key) but I think he might have been saying that his real goal was building an app which he can now do.

  • @Icemanr85 says:

    i know video like this need long time. could you do condensed verison for my attention lacking brain. ive got s good 10 mins in me but not 40

    • @aiadvantage says:

      Yeah unfortunately this is a how-to and taking a app even with agents takes more than 10 mins. first 10 mins should have given you the overview you might bee seeking though.

  • @MrCradleman says:

    As experienced software developer I recommend you NEVER do anything like this in real life unless you want to loose big amount of money

    • @newfrontiers5673 says:

      Lmao try explaining why and people might take you seriously. Otherwise you’re just another random internet guy with an opinion.

    • @MrCradleman says:

      @@newfrontiers5673 Very easy. Internet is full of bots, which tries to break every internet site they found. In the best case your site will be just a part of ddos attack. Or your token will be stollen and used by scammers and you will get huge bill in the end of month

  • @newfrontiers5673 says:

    Signed up for early access. I have a feeling this will be expensive.

  • @xhridhar says:

    How much did this cost to build ? That is API cost ?
