Value proposition

Lets non-developers describe an app idea in plain language and have an AI agent build, preview, and publish a real native mobile app — no code required, with exportable React Native source code.

Products and solutions

AI mobile app builder (prompt-to-native-app), Bilt Payments (in-app monetization), Bilt Cloud (backend infrastructure), Bilt Link (sharing layer), React Native code export, App Store / Google Play publishing assistance. Free tier, paid plans from €13/month, and enterprise offering.

Unique value

Focuses on native iOS/Android apps rather than web apps — the harder, less-served segment of AI app builders — with real React Native code ownership and end-to-end App Store publishing support.

Target customer

Non-technical founders, solo entrepreneurs, creators, product managers, and small businesses wanting to launch native mobile apps without hiring developers.

Industries served

AI Developer Tools, Consumer mobile apps, SMB / in-house business tools

Technology advantage

AI agent that generates native React Native code (not web wrappers) with native device features (camera, location, push notifications); proprietary supporting infrastructure (Bilt Payments, Bilt Cloud, Bilt Link) built in-house; code export and ownership.

How they differentiate

Unlike most AI app builders that generate web apps, bilt.me produces true native iOS/Android apps with exportable React Native code and handles App Store review/publishing — targeting the harder native-mobile segment.

Growth metrics

Six figures in annual recurring revenue; revenue doubling month-over-month for three consecutive months; thousands of users building apps (~75% consumer, 25% private/in-house); paid apps live on App Store and Google Play; team of six engineers.

Market positioning

Early-stage European challenger in the AI app-builder space, positioning itself as the "Shopify of mobile apps" and betting on the application layer as Europe's competitive edge.

Estonia / Europe, expanding globally
