How to build build a mobile app with AI

The 4-step AI workflow

The AI agents are good at code. They're bad at deciding what stack to use. This bundle does the second part. You bring the agent.

1
Ideate with ChatGPT or Claude.ai (web)
Paste your idea: “I'm building build a mobile app. Help me sharpen the product spec — features, edge cases, MVP scope.” Iterate for 10-15 minutes until you have a clear one-page brief.
2
Pick your coding agent
For this kind of bundle, we recommend Claude Code — Sonnet 4.6/4.7 handles full-stack multi-file reasoning best. See the install guide → Cursor and Codex are also great; pick the one you already pay for.

Feed this bundle to the agent

Open Claude Code / Cursor / Codex in an empty folder, then paste:

I'm building build a mobile app. Use this bundle as the source of truth for the stack:
https://stackpicks.dev/build/mobile-app

Brief from my product spec:
[paste your brief from step 1]

Follow the bundle order strictly:
  1. Core
  2. UI
  3. State + Data
  4. Backend
  ...

Stop and confirm with me after each layer.

4
Wire one layer at a time, commit between each
Don't let the agent install everything before the first git commit. One layer = one commit. Catches drift early, easy rollback.

Beyond the bundle

1Ship the boring version first. The bundle above is the maximalist list. For an MVP, start with 60% of these and add the rest when real users ask.
2Deploy early. Push to Railway / Vercel after layer 02 (auth) — not after layer 09. Production breaks differently than localhost.
3Read CLAUDE.md / .cursor/rules in this repo for the project conventions your AI agent should follow.
4Iterate on the take. If a repo here doesn't fit your specific use case, tell us — contact — and we'll add a better one within 60 minutes.
