a0.dev is a platform that helps mobile developers build high quality apps in days instead of weeks by generating custom react native projects. We've launched top ranking apps that have been used by hundreds of thousands, and now we're creating the tools we wish we had to build faster.
🎉 Portfolio Highlight: a0.dev (YC W25) 🎉
a0.dev is turbocharging mobile app development, slashing weeks of work to minutes! It generates complete React Native projects from a single prompt: front-end code, state management, UI – everything. Think instant iOS builds, one-click App Store submission, and a cloud IDE. Launched in Y Combinator W25, a0.dev is helping tons of developers ship faster.
Ayomide Omolewa and Seth Setse built the tool they wished they'd always had.
Boom! Now anyone can build native apps with AI.
🧠 If AI can build apps just from prompts… how many developer jobs will be left?
This question hit me — so I decided to test it.
With just prompts and ideas — no code, no IDE — I built a fully working Android app.
Thanks to a0.dev (YC W25), I created a customized Poem Generator app in just a few steps.
✨ What the app does:
Generates poems for any occasion — love, breakup, birthday, farewell, etc.
You can choose: short, long, or prose style
Add your own custom description
Optionally include/exclude specific words
Get a poem tailored to your emotions — instantly
All of this — without writing a single line of code.
💬 This made me think deeply:
Are prompts the new programming?
Will no-code AI tools replace early-stage dev jobs?
Or will they create new roles: AI architects, prompt engineers, no-code designers?
📱 App: Tailored Poems — emotionally smart poetry, made from your words

🔥 I’ll be posting a full guide soon on Medium:
How I built this AI-powered app without a single line of code.

Would you trust an AI to build your next app?
We’ve partnered with Convex to supercharge your mobile apps.
Our new Convex Integration makes setting up a real-time backend incredibly simple — just ask the AI to add Convex, and it’s done. No manual setup. No account creation. Just clean, scalable infra, instantly.
Want to see it in action?
🎮 Try FruitBox — a game built in a0.dev with:
Online matchmaking
Custom rooms
Global leaderboard
— all powered by Convex.
You can now manage your backend, trigger real-time updates, and handle data — directly from your Integrations tab in a0.dev.
These features are live now → a0.dev
We’d love to see what you build!
🚨 You asked for it — we shipped it.
a0 now supports custom asset uploads for your AI apps:
✅ Videos
✅ Images
✅ JSON
✅ and more
Drag, drop, and build.
Upload your own files and use them directly inside your apps.
No workarounds. No hacks.
This feature is live now.

a0.dev now automatically and securely creates your App Store Connect API key 👀
No more manually navigating Apple’s dev portal.
No more setup friction.
1- Previously, to upload your app to the App Store, you had to:
- Log into App Store Connect
- Manually generate an API key
- Handle roles and permissions
- Copy over credentials to your build tool
It was slow, error-prone, and annoying.
2- Now?
- a0. dev handles the entire process
- We securely generate and store your App Store Connect key
- One-click access to start the build pipeline
- Upload .ipa to the App Store no extra setup
All integrated. All secure.
3- This pairs with our new Build feature:
• Download your .ipa
• Test directly on your phone
• Or upload it to Apple with zero manual steps
From idea → app store-ready build in minutes.

We didn’t speed up mobile dev by adding more features.
We sped it up by removing what didn’t need to exist:
❌ Xcode
❌ Boilerplate
❌ TestFlight
❌ Setup scripts
❌ Repetitive scaffolding
❌ Templates
a0.dev gives you:
✅ Full React Native output from a prompt
✅ UI + state + navigation
✅ Hosted preview instantly
✅ Code you can ship
Subtraction = speed.

Mobile development hasn’t evolved in over a decade.
It still requires:
• Xcode
• Simulators
• TestFlight
• Manual scaffolding
• Weeks of setup
Meanwhile, every other part of the stack has moved on.
That’s why we built a0.dev the AI-native co-founder for mobile developers.
✅ Prompt → full React Native app
✅ UI, state, and navigation auto-generated
✅ Hosted preview in minutes
✅ No Mac required. No boilerplate.
You bring the idea.
a0.dev brings the infrastructure.

We bet everything on React Native.
It’s fast. Flexible. Familiar.
It gives us full control without compromising on speed or quality.
That’s why a0.dev generates real React Native code by default:
✅ UI + navigation + logic
✅ Fully editable
✅ Cross-platform
✅ Preview live in your browser
It’s not about chasing the trend.
It’s about choosing the right foundation for builders who ship.

🚨 Forget tutorials.
Most devs don’t need another 20-video course.
They need a real project to learn from.
They need something they can build, break, and rebuild.
With a0.dev:
✅ Prompt your app idea
✅ Generate full React Native code
✅ Preview it instantly
✅ Edit and learn as you go
This is how developers really learn:
– By doing
– By shipping
– By solving
