Bubble

Bubble is a visual no-code platform for building, hosting, and launching web and native mobile apps. Bubble AI can generate an app foundation from a prompt, including UI, database, workflows, and logic; Bubble’s visual editor then lets builders inspect and change those parts without maintaining generated source code. The platform combines design, data, logic, hosting, plugins, APIs, and deployment in one project.

✨ Key Features

• AI app generation — Describe an idea and generate a working foundation with pages, UI, data types, database, and workflows that can be reviewed and edited.
• Visual editor — Modify interface elements, responsive layouts, workflows, database fields, and privacy rules through a visual interface.
• Built-in database — Create, search, and update records without managing a separate database server; define privacy rules for each data type.
• Visual workflows and automation — Build signup, checkout, payment, email, scheduled, and data-processing flows by connecting readable steps.
• AI Agent editing — Ask the beta Bubble AI Agent to add features, change data, build workflows, troubleshoot, or explain an app; direct web-app editing is currently supported.
• AI integrations — Connect models such as OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini through plugins or API calls, then display, save, or route responses into workflows.
• Plugins and APIs — Extend an app with community plugins and connect services such as Stripe, Google Maps, and other APIs.
• Web and native mobile — Build responsive web apps and native iOS/Android apps in one project; web and mobile can share the same database, logic, and integrations.
• Publishing and monetization — Host live sites on a custom domain and submit native builds to the Apple App Store and Google Play; mobile publishing requires the relevant store developer accounts.
