Bilt is used for building and shipping native mobile apps — from quick prototypes to production apps on the App Store and Google Play.

By audience

Founders and makers

Goal: Ship a mobile app without hiring developers or learning to code. You describe your app idea in the dashboard. Bilt’s AI builds it, you refine through chat, and publish to the App Store — all from the browser. Example workflow:
  1. “Build a habit tracker with daily streaks and reminders”
  2. Iterate on design and features through conversation
  3. Enable Bilt Cloud for user accounts and data persistence
  4. Submit to the App Store

Product and design teams

Goal: Go from concept to working prototype in hours, not weeks. Use Bilt for rapid prototyping, stakeholder demos, and MVPs. Share preview links for feedback. Export code when you’re ready to hand off to engineering. Example workflow:
  1. Describe the product concept with detailed specs
  2. Share preview links with stakeholders for feedback
  3. Iterate based on feedback in real time
  4. Push to GitHub for the dev team to continue

Developers

Goal: Skip boilerplate and generate app scaffolds fast. Use Bilt to generate the initial app structure, then export the React Native code and continue development in Xcode or your preferred environment. Example workflow:
  1. “Generate a social media app with feed, profiles, and messaging”
  2. Connect GitHub to sync the code
  3. Clone the repo and add custom native modules
  4. Deploy through your own CI/CD pipeline

AI agents

Goal: Build and deploy apps as part of automated workflows. AI agents (Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw) use Bilt’s MCP tools to create projects, send build instructions, and manage deployments — no human intervention required. Example workflow:
  1. Agent calls bilt_create_project with an app description
  2. Agent sends feature requests via bilt_send_message
  3. Agent monitors progress via bilt_get_session
  4. Agent retrieves the preview URL when complete

By use case

What Bilt is not for

  • Web-only products — Bilt is for native mobile apps (iOS and Android)
  • Backend-only work — The focus is app UI and logic; deep backend work may need custom code
  • Non-app workflows — Bilt is specifically for building and deploying mobile applications
