Bubble's advanced AI app generator empowers you to create a fully functional app using simple prompts. Describe your idea in your own words, and watch as Bubble AI generates a personalized app structure, ready for you to customize. Confirm your features and add any the AI missed, then generate the app. This initial app will be fully functional with a built-in database and workflows — providing a strong starting point, dramatically reducing the time and effort needed to bring your idea to life.
After your AI-generated app is ready, Bubble's visual editor lets you fine-tune and expand your app exactly the way you want. Design your user interface, add custom events and workflows, and seamlessly integrate third-party services using plugins and the built-in API Connector. With Bubble, visual development means you have the freedom to iterate quickly, safely, and confidently.
