How to Build a Chat App With AI

Build a real-time chat or messaging app with AI — conversations, accounts, and live updates — from a prompt. Free to start, web or mobile, publish live.

Real-time chat looks simple but is fiddly to build — accounts, message storage, and live updates all have to work together. With GenVibe you describe the chat app you want and the AI wires it up, including a realtime backend.

What a great chat app needs

  • User accounts and profiles (login)
  • One-to-one or group conversations
  • Real-time message delivery (live updates)
  • Message history stored in a database
  • Typing indicators and read receipts (optional)
  • A clean, mobile-friendly chat UI

How to build a chat app with GenVibe

  1. Describe it (or import a design). Type what you want in plain English, or paste a Figma link or a screenshot to match a specific look.
  2. Watch the agent build it live. GenVibe plans, writes the code, and runs your chat app in a live preview — edit any element by chatting or clicking it.
  3. Add a backend and publish. Connect a Supabase database and auth in one click, then publish to a live URL you can share.

Example prompt to start with

Build a real-time chat app. Users log in, start one-to-one conversations, and send messages that appear instantly. Show conversation history, online status, and a clean mobile-friendly UI. Store everything in a database.
