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.
