OneShotAI - An AI Prompt Writer to Build Apps in One Shot

Inspiration

The inspiration for One Shot AI came from a video where I saw someone create a traveling app in just one prompt. I was trying to create AI apps in a single prompt but was having issues with environment variables. Since I saw someone creating an AI app successfully, I decided to try it. It took me about 6 hours to understand everything.

What it does

One Shot AI is an app that writes prompts to create apps in a single prompt. In the demo, I created an entire, detailed recruiting dashboard with a prompt generated by this tool.

How we built it

Building this was a big challenge since I don't understand code, but it took me 6 hours of hustle and learning about environment variables - that was the main thing creating issues when I tried to deploy on Netlify, so I deployed on Vercel instead.

To build it, I first tried building the entire app in multiple prompts with Bolt to understand how it works, then reverse-engineered it and created my prompt accordingly.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was deploying the app on Netlify - it kept giving me errors even after I tried fixing the prompt multiple times. I asked Gemini how to fix it, and it suggested Vercel since my app was built with Next.js, so it would be easier to deploy there. I did that and just created a GitHub repository and deployed it on Vercel it worked perfectly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Since I come from zero coding background and figured this out in 6 hours, I'm proud of that. Being able to create the environment variables in Vercel was a big achievement for me. Also, since I created a public post about this, people were asking me how I did it - another achievement.

What we learned

The fun part was figuring this out, and it was my biggest learning experience. I created an entire process because it wasn't simple - I was getting confused about whether I was creating a prompt builder to create prompts to one-shot other apps. It was confusing at multiple levels, but I figured it out with help from Perplexity and Gemini. The fun part is that the One Shot AI app was also created in one shot, which is another thing to be proud of.

What's next for OneShotAI - An AI Prompt Writer to Build Apps in One Shot

I don't have any specific plans for it, but this could be a very good SaaS solution for people building apps - it can definitely be monetized. I had the challenge of creating this in one shot, so the UI can be improved in the future to look more aesthetically pleasing.
