App Development

App development with AI means using assistants and agents to write, test and refactor code, scaffold screens and move from a rough idea to a working product faster. It covers everything from generating boilerplate to reasoning about an unfamiliar codebase.

What to look for in App Development tools

Check how well a tool understands your whole project rather than a single file, which languages and frameworks it supports, and whether you can review every change before it is applied.
