Overview

Draftbit is where founders and business owners build real mobile apps, web apps, games, or websites with AI. Describe what you want, and AI agents (Claude Code and OpenAI Codex) build it in minutes using the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for, so you don't have to buy credits to get going.

One project can hold your mobile app, a web app, a website, and the backend they share, and you can build games too. When you'd rather make a precise change yourself, the visual editor works on the real code, and you can export that code or push it to GitHub. Publishing to the web, the App Store, or Google Play takes one click.

If you get stuck, or you'd rather hand the build to someone else, our team of Draftbit Experts can help. We build and manage hundreds of apps on the App Store.

Hey there -- I'm one of the co-founders of Draftbit, a new way to visually design, build, and iterate on cross-platform mobile applications. https://draftbit.com Before Draftbit, I created and was General Manager of OkCupid Labs, based in San Francisco. OkCupid Labs is the new business creation arm of Match.com and IAC Personals (NASDAQ: IACI). Prior to working at OkCupid, I co-founded Quantitative Insights, a machine-learning focused medical imaging and healthcare IT company (acquired).
