The demo in one GIF

Screen recording of an AI agent building an App Store clone from a single prompt

The one prompt

The instruction was one sentence: build an App Store page with a featured app, a category grid, ratings and a detail view. The agent had to decide the layout, write the code and make it run — no templates, no follow-ups.

What the agent did

  1. Planned the store layout: hero, categories, app cards, detail view.
  2. Wrote the HTML, CSS and JavaScript from scratch.
  3. Launched the app locally and opened it in the browser.
  4. Checked the interactions against its plan and fixed what looked off.
  5. Handed back the finished store with the run summary.

Not a chess game, not a map

This demo is its own build — an App Store clone, distinct from the Google Maps clone and the chess game demos. Each recording is a separate one-prompt run with its own plan, code and trace.

Try the same prompt

Copy the idea, not the code: “Build an App Store clone with a featured app, categories, ratings and a detail view.” Run it through the agent you created and watch the trace in the Deep Dive view. Keep the run cheap with a daily spend cap.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same demo as the chess game?

No — this is a separate build of an App Store clone. The chess game is its own one-prompt run, linked above.

How much did it cost?

About 48.2k tokens on deepseek-chat, roughly $0.02. Your costs depend on the model and how long the agent verifies its work.

Can I reproduce it?

Yes — the prompt is in the section above. Results vary between runs and models; the recording shows one real run, not a promise.
