AI

Introduction

Bubble has always been at the forefront of making software development more accessible. What started as a no-code platform is now evolving into something even more powerful: AI-powered visual development. With AI, Bubble is transforming the way you design, build, and refine applications — making the development process faster, more intuitive, and more scalable than ever before.

Bubble’s AI capabilities are divided into two key areas:

  • Bubble’s AI features, which integrate AI directly into the platform to enhance app creation, automation, and design.

  • Connecting your app to AI systems, such as ChatGPT and other external AI services, allowing you to build AI-powered applications that leverage machine learning and natural language processing.

By investing in both of these areas, Bubble is ensuring that AI is not just an add-on but a core part of the visual development experience.

AI and visual development

Traditional software development requires writing and maintaining code, while visual development enables you to build applications through an interface-driven approach. Bubble pioneered no-code visual development, allowing you to create complex applications by dragging, dropping, and configuring elements — without needing to write a single line of code.

With AI, visual development takes another leap forward. AI-driven tools can assist in structuring applications, generating content, optimizing workflows, and even predicting your needs before they arise. This shifts the development process from manually placing elements and defining logic to a more collaborative and intelligent experience, where AI helps guide, suggest, and automate many of the steps involved.

AI visual development does not replace your control — it enhances it. AI acts as a co-pilot, enabling you to create faster, make better decisions, and spend less time on routine tasks while focusing more on innovation and business logic.

Bubble's AI features

Bubble is integrating AI directly into the platform, starting with two major AI-powered tools:

AI app builder

The AI app builder is designed to generate entire applications based on your input. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, you can describe what you want, and AI will generate:

  • A functional app structure, including pages, elements, and workflows

  • A database schema, tailored to your app’s intended functionality

  • Pre-configured logic, such as navigation and common app behaviors

This allows you to get started instantly, reducing the time it takes to go from idea to working prototype. The AI-generated app can then be modified, expanded, and refined — enabling full customization while eliminating the need to start from scratch.

AI page builder

To help you quickly design individual pages, the AI page builder generates layouts based on your specifications. Instead of manually adding elements and adjusting placement, you can input a request, and Bubble’s AI will create a structured, visually optimized page.

This feature enables:

  • Faster UI prototyping, with AI suggesting layouts and element arrangements

  • Consistency across pages, reducing the need for manual design tweaks

  • Smarter design decisions, based on best practices and Bubble’s design system

Connecting your app to AI systems

Beyond Bubble’s built-in AI tools, you can also integrate external AI services to enhance your applications with AI-powered functionality.

AI chat and natural language processing

Bubble makes it easy to connect with services like ChatGPT and other AI models to provide features such as:

  • Chatbots and virtual assistants

  • AI-generated content

  • Sentiment analysis and text classification

These integrations allow your app to leverage advanced AI without requiring deep technical expertise. By connecting to APIs like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, you can bring real-time conversational AI into your applications.

AI-powered automation and decision-making

Beyond chat functionality, AI integrations can also be used for:

  • Predictive analytics, helping your app provide smart recommendations based on user behavior

  • Image recognition, allowing your app to process and analyze uploaded media

Process automation, where AI can handle repetitive decision-making tasks, improving efficiency

The future of AI in Bubble

Bubble’s shift from no-code to AI visual development represents a new era in software creation—one where you can build powerful, scalable applications faster than ever.

As AI continues to evolve, Bubble is committed to expanding its AI-powered tools and integrations, ensuring that you have access to the most intuitive and intelligent development experience possible. Whether through built-in AI features or seamless API integrations, Bubble is making AI an essential part of visual development.
