After seven years of building our own apps, we’ve spent the last five months working tirelessly to supercharge a0 – and now, thanks to that effort, we’re all going to make apps.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74ZzymZO7fw\n\n### **So what’s new in Phase 1?**\n\nTo start, we created the world's fastest iOS build process - literally seconds from code to installable app on your phone.\n\nThis lead into One-click App Store submission that handles all the Apple provisioning nightmare for you\n\nWe also shipped lots of improvements to our code-gen like Agent Mode with thinking capabilities that can read files, search context, and solve complex problems.\n\nAnd we built-in payments support to a0.dev so you can start monetizing your apps immediately\n\nYou can read the full breakdown in our [blog post](https://a0.dev/blog/phase-1-wagma).\n\n### Isn’t \\____\\_ already doing this?\n\nWe know AI app builders are a popular idea these days. We were the first to launch an AI mobile app builder and have seen many competitors pop up after us, some even from YC. To us, it’s just more proof that this idea is worth working on. We’re taking a different approach to building a0 that comes from our experience as app developers and we’re confident it will be the correct one.\n\nWe didn't just build another no-code tool. We built an AI-native platform that wraps the entire app development experience from idea -\u0026gt; app store. Our agent builds beautiful UI and even handles the back-end. Combined with instant iOS builds, we're removing every friction point between idea and getting your app on the store.\n\nThe response from our first launch has been incredible - 100k+ developers are shipping apps faster than ever with a0.\n\nOur new mantra is WAGMA: We Are All Gonna Make Apps , because we genuinely believe with a0 everyone has the power to get to the app store.\n\nWelcome to Phase 1.","slug":"NtO-a0-dev-phase-1-we-re-all-gonna-make-apps-wagma","created_at":"2025-07-03T18:24:33.801Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T06:03:33.202Z","total_vote_count":11,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/NtO-a0-dev-phase-1-we-re-all-gonna-make-apps-wagma","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=91846\u0026key=user_uploads/1607594/d98552b9-2959-4309-9fbe-f064cf3849f1","company":{"id":30223,"name":"a0.dev","slug":"a0-dev","url":"https://a0.dev","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/eed1f4cfbc94ee7934ad288bea413225964237fe.png","batch":"Winter 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Developer Tools","Generative AI","Design"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30223"}}
