Bubble’s mission has always been to empower anyone to create, host, and launch their own apps. A core part of this vision is continuously lowering the barrier for new users, enabling them to bring their ideas to life with ease and confidence.
With that vision comes a simple fact — an app is many things: a design that users can see and interact with, workflows that respond to the user’s actions, a database and server space to store data and files, all wrapped in a package that meets the security and performance standards that you as the developer decide is right for your user base.
Currently in its alpha phase, Bubble Assist represents a significant leap forward in simplifying the journey from idea to app. It automates the initial app creation process, delivering a working MVP to the user in minutes. It acts as a designer and developer, taking an idea and doing the hard work of getting your idea from 0 to 1.
The tool generates a foundational design and structure for your app, which you can then refine and customize using Bubble’s intuitive no-code tools.
As part of the alpha, your participation and feedback are crucial in refining this feature and making app development even more accessible to everyone.
The Day 1 and Day 2 dilemma in AI-driven app development
Automatically generating apps with artificial intelligence introduces what we call the Day 1 and Day 2 dilemma:
Day 1: The initial creation of an app by AI. This is the exciting, automated process that showcases AI’s ability to generate functioning applications from scratch.
Day 2: The challenge of revising, maintaining, further developing, and deploying the app.
Other AI app builders output code. They may bring you an exciting demo, but the continued development and revision of that app ultimately still requires an ability to code.
Bubble Assist solves the Day 2 challenge in two different ways, ensuring that the final app is aligned with what you intended:
First, Bubble Assist gives you a high-level overview of the app it will build, allowing you to refine it through further prompting the AI for changes
Then, the final generated app integrates seamlessly into Bubble’s already existing visual no-code tools. This means you can manage, iterate, and refine your app entirely within the platform, maintaining full ownership and control of the product from day 1 to day 2 and beyond.
You can see our presentation of the Day 1 and Day 2 dilemma in the presentation from BubbleCon 2024 here.
