Building a Productivity App with AI

The world of app development has become more accessible with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this article, we will explore how to build a productivity app using AI, from finding a viral app idea to uploading the app to the App Store and Google Play Store.

Introduction to Building an App with AI

Introduction to building an app with AI The process of building an app with AI involves several steps, including finding a viral app idea, designing the app, structuring the app, building the app using AI, setting up the database and backend, and uploading the app to the App Store and Google Play Store.

Finding a Viral App Idea

Finding a viral app idea Finding a viral app idea is the most important step in building a successful app. A viral app idea should solve a real problem in a simple way and meet three criteria: identify a common problem, keep the app simple, and make it sharable. To find a viral app idea, we can use tools like Mobbin, which provides a vast collection of app designs and user experiences.

Structuring the App

Structuring the app Once we have a viral app idea, we need to structure the app. This involves creating two important files: the context file and the development plan file. The context file explains everything about the app to the AI, while the development plan file outlines the steps to build the app.

Building the App with AI

Building the app with AI We can use tools like Cursor AI to build the app. Cursor AI uses powerful AI models like GP4 and Claude to build the app step by step. We need to create a context file and a development plan file to guide the AI in building the app.

Setting Up the Database and Backend

Setting up the database and backend We can use Superbase as the database and backend for our app. Superbase provides a simple and efficient way to manage user authentication and data storage.

Improving the UI of the App

Improving the UI of the app To improve the UI of the app, we can use Mobbin to find inspiration from other apps. We can copy and paste the designs into the Cursor composer and ask the AI to use them as inspiration for our app design.

Setting Up the AI Chat Feature

Setting up the AI chat feature We can use the DeepSeek API to set up the AI chat feature in our app. The DeepSeek API provides a simple and efficient way to integrate AI chat into our app.

Uploading the App to the App Store and Google Play Store

Uploading the app to the App Store and Google Play Store To upload the app to the App Store and Google Play Store, we need to create an Apple developer account and a Google Play developer account. We can then use the Expo CLI to build and upload the app to the App Store and Google Play Store.

Conclusion

Conclusion Building a productivity app with AI involves several steps, including finding a viral app idea, designing the app, structuring the app, building the app using AI, setting up the database and backend, and uploading the app to the App Store and Google Play Store. With the help of tools like Cursor AI, Superbase, and Mobbin, we can build a successful productivity app that helps users focus on one task at a time.
