Can I Build a Mobile App Using AI?

The Short Answer

Yes, AI has changed the rules of software development. You no longer need to master Xcode, Android Studio, or backend frameworks to ship a polished app. Modern generative models can analyze your product description, design intuitive screens, write secure code, and even publish to the App Store and Google Play, all in one flow.

This article shows exactly how and introduces CatDoes, the platform that lets anyone build native iOS and Android apps by simply chatting with an AI.

Why build with AI?

• Speed: prototype in hours, not months.

• Cost: skip large engineering teams during the MVP stage.

• Iterate freely: update copy or features with a single prompt.

• Accessibility: non-developers can finally validate ideas on real devices.

Step-by-step: building an AI-powered app with CatDoes

1. Sign up and name your project
   Create a new app in the dashboard. CatDoes provisions an isolated workspace for versioning.

2. Describe your idea in the chat box
   Example: “A language-learning app that uses spaced repetition and real-time image translation.”
   The Requirement Agent turns that idea into a feature map and backlog, and asks clarifying questions such as “Do you need an authentication feature as well?”

3. Design Agent
   Sketches every screen, codes the UI, and offers both light and dark palettes you can tweak.

4. Software Agent
   Writes the business logic of your app, and, if you want, connects a Supabase backend for auth and data.

5. Release Agent
   Bundles the app, and submits it to the App Stores. You can also get .apk, .aab, and .ipa outputs with the help of Release agent.

Extra power features

• Live preview: scan a QR code or reload the browser pane to test changes in seconds.

• Instances (checkpoints): each big change is saved like a commit. Start a new instance, experiment, and roll back if you don’t like the result.

• Built-in maintenance: when a new OS version drops or your roadmap grows, just create a new instance and ask the agent to update your app for the new OS version.

Conclusion

AI has shifted from an extra feature to the engine of mobile development. Whether you are a solo founder or an enterprise product manager, CatDoes lets you ride that wave. Turn plain English into App Store listings in hours instead of quarters. Start a free project, iterate with AI agents, and join the 2025 cohort shipping smarter apps at cat speed.
