Wix Launches AI-Powered Mobile App Builder That Can Create Apps With Text Prompts

Wix on Wednesday launched a new AI-powered chatbot for its App Builder mobile platform. The cloud-based no-code platform development company introduced artificial intelligence (AI) tools to its app-building platform just months after introducing its front-end website development tool to the extreme driven by AI. The platform not only allows users to create a branded app for businesses, but also deploys the app to the iOS App Store and Android Google Play Store. Users can also post version updates and new features through it.

Wix Launches AI-Based App Builder Chatbot

In a press release, the company announced that it is automating the entire app creation experience for its users. The no-code company previously allowed users to build applications without the need for backend and frontend software development knowledge, allowing them to customize and create an interface using easy-to-use tools while building the backend.

As part of the automated app building update, the company is simplifying the process for Wix users, making it easier to select the right look and feel for their smartphone apps. Wix calls the tool a “conversational AI chat experience.” As the name suggests, there is a chatbot that asks the user various questions about the app and based on the information provided, it can create a custom app.

How the Wix AI App Builder Works

The process begins by telling the AI ​​the goals and intent to build the app. Once you confirm the mobile app design, ask questions about the features users want in the app. Users do not need to provide the information in technical terms and can only highlight the purpose. The AI ​​can still process this information to show relevant features. At this point, users can upload a logo for the app and then the final design is generated.

Should the user prefer to make specific changes to the application, they will still have the editing tools to do so. Wix also extends support to its users after building the app. You can also submit your app to Google Play Store and App Store. Once available, the platform can be used to publish version updates and new features. The company provides a dashboard through which users can also check all the activities of the application.

The platform and access to the AI ​​chatbot are currently available to paid App Builder subscribers. The subscription price starts from $99 (roughly Rs. 8,300) per month, according to the company's website.
