Build and launch AI apps with Create and Expo

Vibe coding new AI mobile apps is all the rage.

In the past 12 months, apps like Cal AI ($1.5M MRR; track calories from food images with AI), Glam Up ($90k MRR; AI skin advice) and Death Clock ($90k MRR; tells you when you’ll die) have shot to millions in revenue and the top of App Store categories by combining simple, polished apps, AI, and organic viral TikTok marketing.

AI is ushering in an App Store renaissance - both in what gets made and who gets to make it. Every category is up for re-imagination with the latest AI models. Most of the founders of the viral apps above are “non technical”.

But it’s still not easy enough. You’re still looking at weeks to months to build real apps.

So today, Create is releasing beta support for native iOS and Android apps in partnership with Expo (join here). Our goal is to make new mobile app development take hours or days (and a few hundred dollars instead of hundreds of thousands). We want more entrepreneurs to bring their visions to life.

In addition to this beta launch with Expo we are organizing an app accelerator for founders: Create | Season 1. You can sign up for it here. We’re seeking out 25 talented founders who want to make the next killer AI app.

If you’re selected, Create will:

• Give you free access to our “text to app” AI builder (that now can ship iOS & Android apps)
• Invite you to a builder cohort Slack with other mobile app founders
• Give you $2k for creator partnerships to market your app
• Promote your app to our community when we go to general release with mobile

So start building mobile apps today and give us feedback. And if you’re ready to take it to the next level join Create | Season 1. We’ll turn on mobile apps for all builders in the next few weeks.

Create is a “text to app” builder for entrepreneurs. It lets you vibe code full stack apps in English. You just talk to our AI agent, and it writes all the code for what you need. Our agent handles everything you need to ship full stack apps out of box (from UI to AI to backends to DBs, auth, payments, and 100s of integrations).

We started Create to let anyone with a great idea bring it to life - even if they’re non technical. We get fired up every time one of our 300k+ builders launches a new product made with Create. And we’re even more excited as these products bring in real revenue.

We started our journey with web apps. But from the moment we put “text to app” on our homepage, our #1 question has been “wen mobile apps?”

The answer is today.

We’re partnering with Expo to let anyone build native iOS and Android apps in Create.

Here are a few things we’ve been cooking:

• English is all you need. Just describe your app and Create’s AI agent turns it into React Native code that works. Skip the IDE, packages, and deployment (especially if you’ve never dealt with them before)
• Beautiful design out of box. We’ve trained our AI to make apps like a human designer would.
• Add AI in seconds. Use 100+ built in integrations, from GPT-Vision to Anthropic to Replicate to Google Gemini to supercharge your experience.
• DB, Auth, Backends, built in. It’s not just the mobile app. Create comes with built in support for backends, databases, social auth, and payments - the icebergs that make building something real take a long time.
• Web ↔ Mobile. You can instantly turn any mobile app into a web app or vice versa. So you can build everything you need for your business in one place, from the landing page to the mobile app to the web dashboard.
• Preview on Device. Quickly test out your creations on your device with Expo Go
• Instant App Store publishing. If you’ve built apps, you know how annoying submitting to the App Store is. We’ve made it 1 tap submission. So you can iterate faster than ever before.

This is the fastest way to go from idea-to-next-App-Store-chart-topper. So you can touch more grass.

If you’re ready to ship your first mobile app, sign up for beta today.

And if you’re building the next app we’re all going to talk about, join Create | Season 1. Let’s blow it up together.
