Overview

The creator takes a startup idea from a tweet, writes a detailed prompt for an AI coding tool, and uses it to generate a functional iOS app on his phone. He demonstrates the app's features, including a Tinder-like swipe interface and video applications, and then proceeds to submit the finished app to the App Store, all within the same AI-powered platform.

Transcript

Saw this post on Twitter yes, startup idea. Tier, but for guys to find other guys to do cool projects with. So I'm gonna build this with AI and get it on the App Store. So what is my plan, you might ask? Well, I'm gonna give a simple prompt to Claude Cove. I want you to create no. Tinder, but for guys to find other guys to do projects with. And so these projects will be in these five different categories. So when they swipe right, it will submit a concise video as an attachment on why they would be a right fit for that project. So all I'm gonna do is just copy this prompt. And so I've pasted the prompt right here on my phone. We're using Vibe code, which uses cloud code and we're gonna run. And now cloud code is going to worse. And while the AI is working, we can actually generate a logo. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go to icon, three d cartoon render of Abraham linking, holding a, rank axe. So I'm just gonna generate about eight options here. Oh, looking good. Maybe this one's just the best. He's kind of smiling. He's kinda got a good attitude going on. It's simple. Alright. So I'm just gonna select this and say, please find a place in this app to make the logo very prominent and make it big. So as soon as the app is done building, it will add the icon in a follow-up prompt. Okay. It's loading. This is looking good. Alright. Here it is. So I can press discover. Alright. Build a tree worse with Mike Johnson. Let's see. Boom. Yo, Mike. I'm trying to build a tree house with you, bro. Just let me know. I've been building tree houses. No, Mike. I'm trying to build a tree house with you, bro. Just let me know. I've been building tree houses. Submit. There it is. Application submitted. After one prompt, we no have this app called project match. I can generate an app icon that will actually show up on the App Store once Apple accepts it. Boom. Use this as app icon. Next. I understand. Boom. So I can just copy this access token, go back to the Vibe code app and paste it. This is free, and we're gonna start the build. Just finished. Your app is on the way to the App Store. This is gonna be an early version. I need to add the rank end worst, and then I can start getting real users and they can sign in, but I'll do that in the next video.
