Introduction

Bilt is an AI-powered platform for building, iterating on, and deploying native mobile applications using natural language—with real code, instant preview, and support for both humans and AI agents.

Bilt lets you and your team build native iOS applications by describing what you want. You describe the app in plain English; Bilt generates production-ready React Native code, builds the app, and gives you an instant preview—including a cloud-streamed iOS simulator in the browser, with no Mac or local install required. Bilt supports the full lifecycle: from early ideas and prototypes to deployment and App Store distribution. You can work in the Bilt dashboard or integrate Bilt into your workflows—for example, AI agents can create, build, and deploy apps via the MCP server and API documented on this site.

​

Why use Bilt

Bilt makes it easier to go from an app idea to a working product. Faster iteration
Move from idea to working app by building through natural language instead of starting from a blank codebase. No code required
Describe what you want; Bilt’s AI writes and assembles the app. You can still export and own the full source when you need it. Native, not webview
Bilt builds real React Native apps—native iOS binaries, App Store ready—not webview wrappers or PWAs. Built for humans and agents
Use the dashboard for hands-on building, or connect AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw) via MCP to create and deploy apps as part of your workflow.

​

Who Bilt is for

Bilt is used by people building mobile apps on their own, with teams, and with AI agents. Individual builders
Founders and makers shipping an iOS app without hiring a dev team; students and educators building projects and experiments. Product and design teams
Product managers and designers creating realistic prototypes, MVPs, and production-ready interfaces without starting from scratch. Technical teams and developers
Developers and engineering teams using Bilt to speed up app development, generate app shells, and export code to Xcode or existing CI/CD. AI agents and automation
Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other MCP-compatible agents that create, build, and deploy Bilt projects via the API and MCP tools documented here.

​

What you can build with Bilt

Bilt supports a broad range of native mobile applications, from prototypes to production. MVPs and production apps
Subscription products, customer-facing apps, and multi-user applications you can ship to the App Store. Prototypes and experiments
Working prototypes in minutes for validating ideas, testing flows, and gathering feedback with shareable preview links. Internal and business tools
Internal tools, operational dashboards, and apps used by your team or organization. Agent-driven apps
Apps created and updated by AI agents through natural language, with full control over build and deployment via MCP.

​

How Bilt fits into your workflow

Bilt is designed to complement how you already work:

1. Describe what you want to build (in the dashboard or via an AI agent).
2. Review and iterate on the generated app using the instant preview and conversational edits.
3. Deploy to a live preview URL or prepare for App Store submission.
4. Export and own the code whenever you want—no lock-in.

Bilt adapts to your workflow, whether you build in the Bilt dashboard, use MCP with your favorite AI client, or both.

​

Using Bilt with AI agents (MCP)

If you use Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, or another MCP-compatible client, Bilt’s MCP server lets agents create projects, send build instructions, and deploy apps autonomously. No local installation—connect via SSE with your API token. How it works: The agent uses tools such as bilt_create_project and bilt_send_message; Bilt processes the request and streams progress. The agent receives a live preview or deployment URL when the app is ready. For setup and tool details, see the Quickstart and API Reference.
