Build mobile apps with AI while you watch a movie

The most spectacular way to use an AgentBox is to build a mobile app without writing a line of code. The agent programs, you watch the app come alive and test it on your own phone. You really can do this from the couch, with a movie playing.

1. Install the Mobile apps tile

On the AgentBox tab, under Apps, install Mobile apps. The box gets the Expo toolchain, a framework behind thousands of real App Store and Google Play apps, for apps that run on both iPhone and Android from the same code.

2. Tell the agent what you want

In the terminal or on Telegram, describe the app as you would to a person: "I want a shopping list app with colored categories and checkboxes. Build it in ~/Apps and start the preview." The agent creates the project, writes the code and starts the preview server.

3. Watch it live in the App view

The console has a layout called App view: your app runs there, in the browser, and updates by itself with every change the agent makes. Pick the arrangement you like: app only, terminal plus app, or all three (terminal, desktop and app), with adjustable widths, including a phone-sized one.

4. Open it on your phone

Next to the preview there is a QR code. Scan it with the free Expo Go app and the same application opens on your phone, just as live: the agent changes a button, your phone shows it seconds later. When you are happy, installable builds (APK or App Store) are made through your own Expo account, with a single instruction to the agent.

What an evening of building looks like

1. "Add color-coded priorities to each task." You see the change in the App view within seconds.
2. "The fonts are too small on the phone." Scan the QR again? No need, the app on your phone already updated.
3. "Save a playbook with what we decided today." The agent notes the design decisions in its memory and respects them next time.

No local installs, no Android Studio, no Mac. Just a browser, a phone and an AgentBox.
