VibeStudio: AI App Maker VibeStudio lets you turn a simple idea into a real, working mini-app—fast. Describe what you want, pick a model, and generate clean code you can run, tweak, and iterate in seconds. Build utilities, prototypes, UI concepts, small games, and micro-tools without starting from scratch. Why VibeStudio? Building apps usually means setup, boilerplate, and endless tweaking. Vibe Coding skips the busywork—idea → code → preview → iterate—so you can ship experiments and MVPs at “vibe speed.” What you can do Build & iterate • Generate complete mini-apps from a prompt (UI + logic). • Refine with follow-ups: “make it simpler,” “add settings,” “improve UI,” “fix bugs.” • Keep iterating until it feels right. Code you can actually use • Get structured, editable output (not just snippets). • Make changes quickly and regenerate parts without rewriting everything. • Create reusable components and patterns for your future projects. Better output control • Choose between different model speeds/quality levels depending on your tier. • Use credits to generate, improve, and refine. Max extras • Generate polished icons and higher-quality outputs using all models + icons (Max tier). How it works Describe your app – what it should do and how it should look. Generate – Vibe creates the code and a working result you can preview. Iterate – ask for improvements, add features, simplify UI, fix edge cases. Ship – reuse the output for prototypes, demos, and MVPs. Who it’s for Indie makers, designers, founders, developers, students—anyone who wants to build and test ideas quickly, without the usual friction.

Tu próxima reforma empieza con una foto. ¿Quieres renovar tu casa? Explora cómo podría quedar con IA. ¿Eres profesional de reformas? Convierte las fotos y los detalles de la obra en un presupuesto que puedas revisar y enviar desde el móvil. BuildApp reúne dos formas de avanzar: dar forma a la reforma que imaginas y preparar la propuesta para hacerla realidad. PARA TU CASA: VE EL CAMBIO ANTES DE EMPEZAR Haz una foto de tu cocina, baño o estancia, explica qué quieres cambiar y crea una simulación con IA. Compara el antes con la propuesta para ver qué encaja contigo. • Explora ideas sobre tu propio espacio. • Consulta una estimación orientativa del coste cuando esté disponible. • Guarda las fotos y la información de cada reforma en su proyecto. • Consulta las etapas y las novedades que comparta tu profesional cuando estén vinculadas a tu proyecto. PARA TU OFICIO: DEJA DE EMPEZAR CADA PRESUPUESTO DE CERO Las fotos, el alcance del trabajo y los datos del cliente son el punto de partida. La IA te ayuda a preparar el borrador; tú decides las partidas, los materiales y los precios. • Prepara presupuestos desde el móvil con ayuda de IA. • Muestra una simulación del después junto a las fotos del antes. • Ajusta conceptos, cantidades, importes e impuestos antes de enviar. • Comparte la propuesta por WhatsApp o enlace, o genera un PDF. • Mantén a mano los borradores y los presupuestos enviados y aceptados. Una propuesta clara ayuda a explicar el trabajo: qué vas a hacer, cómo podría quedar y cuánto presupuestas. LA IA PROPONE. TÚ DECIDES. Las simulaciones muestran posibilidades, no garantizan el resultado de una obra. Las estimaciones automáticas son orientativas: un profesional debe revisar medidas, materiales y alcance antes de cerrar el presupuesto. Necesitas una cuenta y conexión a internet. Las funciones y los límites de generación dependen de tu perfil, plan y saldo. Algunas funciones para profesionales requieren un plan de pago. Consulta las condiciones en la app. BuildApp. Para quienes imaginan la reforma y quienes la hacen realidad.
