AppFromAI - Write a sentence Generate an AI app module for iOS & Android
by•
Type a sentence. Get a real native iOS and Android UI module. No WebView, no mockups.
AppFromAI converts prompts into structured JSON UI definitions using an LLM of your choice, then renders them as real native components.
Tested with local models (Ollama + Qwen3-Coder) and structured outputs.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Antonio, maker of AppFromAI — and I'm genuinely excited to share this today.
The idea is simple but kind of wild: what if you didn't need to download apps anymore? Just describe what you want, and your phone builds it.
AppFromAI is an Android app that connects to any LLM (local with Ollama, or cloud with OpenAI / Claude) and generates fully native mobile modules from a plain English prompt — in seconds.
Here's what makes it different from "AI generates code" tools:
🏗️ It's not a code editor — generated modules run directly as native React Native UI, no IDE, no build step, no deployment
📦 Modules are self-contained — manifest + declarative UI tree + sandboxed JS logic, all in one JSON file
📡 Real hardware access — camera, GPS, microphone, accelerometer, flashlight, notifications — all gated through a permission sandbox
🎮 Games too — there's a canvas-based WebView game engine, 60fps, with gamepad support. You can literally say "make a Flappy Bird clone" and it works
🔒 Runs offline — pair it with a local Ollama model and nothing leaves your device
The long-term vision is the .core paradigm: companies publish certified API connectors instead of standalone apps. AppFromAI becomes the universal runtime. The interface is always generated, always yours.
I'd love to hear your feedback — especially: what would you build first? 🚀
