AI App Development: What I Learned in One Month

Developing with AI moves so fast that it's hard to imagine the learnings in this article are from just 1 month. Note: these are not only lessons on how to apply AI well, but also challenges I wish I had faced earlier. Yes, earlier than within that same month, ha!

AI Agents Are Starting To Eat SaaS (Really)

I see this happening more and more: apps that used to be built by teams for months are now sometimes replicated closely with single prompts. Not as good in quality, but I can’t imagine where we’ll be in months from today.

I built 10 apps in 10 months and make $800,000/yr

Normally, I don’t like linking to articles yelling their revenue metrics. However, I learned quite a bit from this one, and it’s especially inspiring for those starting their app release journey.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON

Agent Skills are everywhere!

After launching my first Agent Skill on Swift Concurrency, I needed of a similar one for SwiftUI. Omar Elsayed reached out to me, and we decided to work on it together.

The result is a fantastic Agent Skill for SwiftUI that's already proven its value in production, but also a collaboration that Omar described in detail in his article How I Stopped Resisting AI and Started Teaching It. We received many AGENTS.md files from friends, and merged them together with all our knowledge to built up an Agent Skill with 11 reference files.

We've already received hundreds of stars on GitHub and several contributions. If you're using agents and building with SwiftUI, you'll enjoy our new skill: AvdLee/SwiftUI-Agent-Skill.
