# What is Thunkable AI?

Thunkable AI is a vibe coding mobile app development platform that enables anyone with an idea to build and launch native mobile apps to Apple’s App Store or Google Play.

***

## Overview

The AI Project Generator lets you turn a plain-text description into a production-ready mobile or web app in real time. Just describe what you want to build and Thunkable AI handles the screens, logic, and design for you. Once your project is ready, you can customize and test it on the web or on your device using the Thunkable Live mobile app, then publish when you're ready.

## Prompting

Just like any powerful AI tool, Thunkable AI works best when you give it a clear, detailed prompt. The more context you provide, the smarter your results.

Compare:

* “I want a food tracker.”\
  vs.
* “I want an app that lets me scan barcodes of the foods I’m eating. My goal is to lose weight, so I need to track calories and other nutrients, and set goals and targets over time.”<br>

Both will generate an app, but the second unlocks a far richer, more tailored experience.

#### **Input options**

Before submitting, you can customize how your app is generated:

* **Private** — Keep your app private so it's only visible to you.
* **Plan mode** — Toggle this on to have the AI outline a plan for your app before building it, giving you a chance to review and refine the direction first.
