2 App Ideas Using OpenAI’s API and Bubble
We are living in a very exciting time for entrepreneurs (and aspiring entrepreneurs).
The rapid progression of two very special technologies in recent years has given rise to a huge opportunity.
I’m talking about 1) Artificial Intelligence, and 2) No Code tools.
We can combine these two technologies to build businesses that were not even imaginable just one year ago.
The biggest opportunity of all? Building AI-powered software and apps.
What are No Code tools?
No Code tools empower anyone to build things online without any technical knowledge or coding experience.
- Shopify lets you build e-commerce stores… no coding needed
- Wix lets you build websites… no coding needed
- Bubble lets you build apps and software… no coding needed.
The biggest barrier for anyone to build an app or software was the need for coding skills. No Code tools have completely destroyed that barrier.
Now you just need Bubble.
Here’s the wild part: You can plug in the most powerful AI model (accessible to the public) directly into your app… OpenAI’s GPT.
What is OpenAI’s GPT model?
OpenAI (the company that made ChatGPT) lets you plug its AI model directly into your own software and apps through its API.
Since the OpenAI Dev Day on November 6, OpenAI has upgraded its GPT-4 model with a bunch of new, exciting features:
- Vision: GPT-4 can accept images as inputs.
- Generate images: GPT-4 can produce images as part of its results.
- Text-to-speech: GPT-4 can generate human-quality speech from text.
Here are 2 app ideas to demonstrate the kind of software you could build combining Bubble with GPT-4…
Idea 1: Personalized fashion recommendation marketplace
How many times have you seen someone dripping in sauce and would do terrible things to replicate their outfit?
Now you just need to download an app. Meet the ‘Imma Cop That’ App.
- The idea: Users upload images of their favorite outfits, and the app suggests similar clothing items for sale, using a custom AI model trained on fashion trends and styles.
Idea 2: Movie/TV scene explaining app
Do you have a partner who always asks you what is happening in a movie or TV series? Rather than constantly interrupting you, now they can use the ‘Who’s That Again’ app.
- The idea: Whenever someone doesn’t know what’s happening in the movie or TV series, they can take a picture in the app to get an explanation. It helps users understand complex scenes, identify characters, and grasp plot details through real-time image analysis and AI-generated explanations.
I want to learn more about this opportunity…
If you want to learn how to build AI apps like these without code, you’re in luck.
To help you on your No Code journey, we’ve put together a free course that will show you exactly how to make your own AI-powered app.

Has OpenAI Made a Secret Breakthrough?
Since the last newsletter, a lot has happened at OpenAI (to say the least).
Here’s an oversimplified timeline:
- OpenAI board fires the CEO, Sam Altman
- Public and investors go nuts
- OpenAI hires a new CEO, Emmet Shear (former CEO of Twitch)
- Microsoft hires Sam Altman to lead Microsoft’s new AI team
- Microsoft offers the entire OpenAI team a job
- 700+ OpenAI employees sign a letter demanding Altman come back or they will quit
- Sam Altman is hired back as the CEO of OpenAI
One thing remains a mystery: Why did the board fire Sam in the first place? What event ignited this whole chain of events?
There’s a rumor this all happened because OpenAI made a huge breakthrough the board wasn’t happy about.
What was the huge breakthrough?
According to a report by Reuters, OpenAI’s secret breakthrough called Q* (pronounced Q-Star) kicked off this whole shit show.
Just before Sam’s firing, researchers sent the board a letter warning of a new AI discovery that could “threaten humanity”.
It checks out… a day before Sam was fired, he said this in a speech: “Is this a tool we’ve built or a creature we have built?”
Some at OpenAI believe this could be a major breakthrough in the search for an AI that surpasses humans in most economically valuable tasks.
This story has as many twists and turns as a pretzel factory assembly line. I expect we’ll be talking about this again in the next newsletter.
See you next Thursday.
