Thinking of launching your own AI chatbot mobile app? Whether it’s for customers or as an internal tool for your team, with Bravo Studio, you can bring your idea to life — no coding required. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process to build an AI-powered app that’s ready for the App Store and Google Play.
Start by designing your app in Figma, or simply duplicate one of Bravo Studio’s sample apps available in the Figma Community or in our documentation.
For this tutorial, keep it simple: a login screen and a main screen that will host your AI chatbot as a web-view.
👉 Tip: Use the Bravo Studio Figma plugin to add the necessary web-view tags directly to your design — making your build seamless.
Next, set up user authentication to keep your app secure.
✅ Create a free account on Kinde if you don’t have one yet — it’s a great way to manage user authentication.
✅ Follow our detailed instructions in the Bravo Studio documentation to set up Kinde for your app.
In this example, we’re using the Bravo External OAuth Xano snippet to integrate Kinde with Xano, our backend of choice.
Once your authentication is set up and successfully tested, it’s time to bring in your AI assistant.
For this tutorial, we’ve set up our own AI assistant — an AI cycling coach powered by OpenAI.
👉 Pro Tip: If you’re setting up your first AI assistant, make sure to load at least $5 into your OpenAI account so you can test it fully.
With your AI assistant ready, bring it into your app:
✅ Install the Bravo Studio OpenAI Assistant Xano snippet, just like you did with the authentication snippet.
✅ Add your OpenAI API key and your unique openai_assistant_id to configure it.
Copy your assistant’s GET URL endpoint, then add a new GET API request to your data collection in Bravo Studio.
Click send — if everything’s set up correctly, you’ll receive your assistant’s URL in the API response.
Next, in your Bravo Studio app project, select the web-view element.
✅ Choose the correct data collection and bind it to the data returned by your assistant’s API — this connects your web-view to your AI assistant.
With everything connected, it’s time to test your app!
Open Bravo Vision, select your new app, and authenticate yourself using the Kinde login flow.
🎉 Now you’re ready to interact with your virtual cycling coach:
Bravo Studio lets you bring your Figma design to life as a real mobile app — with no code required. Connect your backend, add your AI assistant, and get ready to publish your app to the App Store and Google Play.
