Watch AI Build Full-Stack Apps in 60 Seconds

January 30, 20265 min read

No cuts. No edits. No speed-up. These are real recordings of the AppsAI editor building complete applications from a single prompt. What you see is exactly what happens.

How it works: You type what you want. Canvas AI builds the UI, Backend AI designs the database and API. They coordinate automatically. You watch it happen in real-time.

1. YouTube Clone with AI Narration

A full video platform with thumbnails, player, sidebar recommendations, and comments. Canvas AI builds the UI while Backend AI handles the backend and file storage.

What gets built

  • Video player with controls
  • Thumbnail grid layout
  • Sidebar recommendations
  • Comment section
  • S3 integration for video storage

2. Slack Clone with Real-Time Messaging

Channels, direct messages, threads, and real-time updates. WebSocket connections handled automatically by the Backend AI.

What gets built

  • Channel-based messaging
  • Real-time WebSocket updates
  • Thread replies
  • User presence indicators
  • Message reactions

3. CRM Sales Pipeline

Drag-and-drop deal stages, contact management, and activity tracking. Database schema designed by the Backend AI.

What gets built

  • Kanban-style pipeline
  • Drag-and-drop deals
  • Contact profiles
  • Activity timeline
  • Deal value tracking

4. Excel-Style Finance Analyzer

Spreadsheet interface with formulas, charts, and data import. Complex calculations handled client-side.

What gets built

  • Cell-based data entry
  • Formula support
  • Chart generation
  • CSV import/export
  • Financial calculations

What Makes This Different

Other AI tools generate code and hope it compiles. AppsAI doesn't generate code—it manipulates the application state directly. That's why there are no syntax errors, no broken imports, no “let me try again.”

The AI sees what you see. It works on the canvas, not in a text editor. When it adds a button, you see a button appear. When it creates a database table, you see the schema update. The feedback loop is instant.

The Two-AI Architecture

Behind these demos, two specialized AIs coordinate:

  • Canvas AI – Builds React components, handles layout, manages UI state
  • Backend AI – Designs database schemas, creates API endpoints, provisions cloud resources, manages file storage

They communicate through a shared context. When Canvas AI needs to fetch data or store files, it tells Backend AI. You just describe what you want—the coordination happens automatically.

Try it yourself

These aren't cherry-picked demos. This is what AppsAI does. Start with a prompt and watch your app take shape.
