Wix, a leading website builder, has unveiled a groundbreaking feature that allows users to build mobile apps using generative AI on its platform.
This exciting new addition is designed to make app creation accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical skills.
Breaking Down the Barriers
For many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), building a mobile app has often been a daunting and expensive task. Coding knowledge, design expertise, and a significant time investment have traditionally been required to create a functional and appealing app.
However, Wix aims to change this with its new AI-driven mobile app builder. By leveraging the power of generative AI, Wix offers a solution that simplifies the app development process, making it as easy as having a conversation.
How It Works?
The process starts with a simple chat. Users just need to describe their app’s goals and features using the conversational AI tool.
Based on this information, Wix’s AI generates a personalized mobile app, complete with branding and tailored to the user’s business needs.
This means that even those with no coding or design experience can create a unique app for both iOS and Android platforms.
Customization at Your Fingertips
Once the initial app is generated, users can further customize it to suit their preferences. Wix’s platform allows for easy adjustments to sections, widgets, designs, and themes, ensuring the app aligns perfectly with the business’s vision.
Additionally, a built-in previewer lets users see and experience their app in real-time before it goes live on the App Store or Play Store.
This feature is particularly beneficial for low- and no-code developers who want to ensure their app provides an excellent user experience.
Support from Start to Finish
Wix doesn’t just stop at app creation. The platform also assists users with the submission process to Apple and Google’s app stores. This includes managing automatic version updates and releasing new features, taking the hassle out of maintaining and updating the app.
According to Noa Eiland, Head of Mobile Apps at Wix, “Users can now create a custom native mobile app using the AI chat experience by simply describing their goals and visions, and AI does the work.
We’re thrilled to expand our suite of AI tools to mobile with the launch of AI to our native mobile app builder.”
Complete Ownership and Branding
Apps built with Wix’s mobile app builder come with full ownership rights, allowing businesses to brand their apps as they see fit.
This ensures that the apps function well and align with the business’s branding and marketing strategies.
Pricing and Accessibility
Wix includes the mobile app builder in its premium Branded App Plan, with prices starting at $99 per month. This makes it an affordable option for SMBs looking to establish a mobile presence without breaking the bank.
By removing the traditional barriers to app development, Wix empowers businesses to reach their audiences on mobile platforms, driving growth and engagement.
