by the end of this video you're going to find
out if databutton is as good as liable and bolt
0:06
for building apps with AI we're going to build and
deploy a real travel app here we are on databutton
0:17
so this looks quite familiar to the other AI
building tools before testing this tool out
0:23
what we're going to do first is just have a little
scroll down to see what people have built so this
0:28
will give us an idea of what you can build using
databutton so the first one is called volvla I'm
0:33
going to go to the app and check this out just
to get a little bit of a taste of what you can
0:37
build so your dream wardrobe designed by you
built by us this was built on databutton um so
0:45
if you start designing it looks like it's an AI
app that we can use to generate different types
0:51
of things this allows you to create wardrobes
another one is tagify which as it says here
0:59
as where you can signing straight away very AI
generated here it's just saying powered by jump
1:05
there's not a lot of information here but if we
go back it says it's an AI powered video taging
1:11
for SEO and recommendations and we'll look at one
more just to see before we start building this is
1:17
called absolutely not twitch and it looks
like it's a streaming account or streaming
1:25
website that is all about game play so pretty
impressive now it says down here these are the
1:33
different prompts that we can use to get started
so there's a travel itinerary and booking app um
1:39
very simple prompt here I'm just going to try
it with the prompt that it's recommending and
1:44
see what it comes up with so at the moment it's
saying setting up your app details almost there
1:50
and then we get into this here which is really
interesting because it allows us to go into the
1:56
different categories of our app to really find
what we want to build so it says fine-tune the
2:02
key information about the app you're building
we've prefilled a form very small writing here
2:07
we've prefilled the form partially based on the
initial app idea feel free to make updates needed
2:12
so a travel itinerary and booking app that allow
users to save their trips too target audience so
2:24
preferences and special needs people who like to
travel often and like new experiences going to
2:34
call the app travel traveler and then the what we
got have down here is main screen size desktop and
2:45
default theme light let's just stay with that for
now and generate starting point with AI so you can
2:52
see here we already have on the left we have the
different pages we have the UI components UI file
3:00
backend media public and internal storage so
all of this is into different sections that
3:08
obviously we can build over time now over on the
right it's saying now build a first version that
3:12
includes a core trip management features including
a clean and travel inspired design that will allow
3:17
us to create trips Etc let's start building now
I'm going to pause it here and see how long it
3:24
takes okay that took about 3 minutes and you can
see up here that it's done a lot of things like
3:31
code written add core components add pages for
trip management logs read and then then it says
3:38
here I've built the first version of traveler Le
here's what you can do with it view all your trips
3:43
on the homepage create new trips with destination
and dates view detailed trip information add add
3:48
activities to your trips through times locations
and notes see your trip activities in a beautiful
3:53
timeline could you please set it out by creating a
new trip adding some activity of the trip viewing
3:59
the trip details and timeline so I'm going to add
wow this looks really incredible already so plan
4:05
a new trip we're going to say let's just uh let's
just go with what they're saying summer vacation
4:10
I'll fill this out it's got a cool calendar
feature here that you can see okay and then it
4:15
created this card here so it it's created this new
card if we go to trip card and then if we go to
4:22
the home we can see how this is happening here you
can see it on your trips now we're going to click
4:28
on this this isn't exactly what I had in mind when
I built out the app or mentioned the app in the
4:34
first place but we're just going to go along with
it CU I was thinking it was going to be an app
4:38
where people could book trips and look at trips
to book but this could be used if you think about
4:43
it in a way of between families between friends
Etc so we're going to add activity we're going to
4:52
visit Eiffel Tower going to choose the date if I
remember the dates of when we're going time 12:05
5:00
and then scroll PM location Eiffel Tower and no
additional details so activity is there so then
5:08
if we go back to the homepage we got some of
vacation and we have itinerary here too I just
5:14
say it looks good and see what it says here what
is the next step so it's saying we recommend we
5:22
enhance a homepage with some practical features
a search bar so we're going to add a search bar
5:27
this is cool so it's it's actually given us
these recommendations and then given us these
5:32
quick button presses so that we can ask the AI to
do it for us so we're going to say let's say add a
5:41
search bar to the homepage so it wrote the code
but it failed to update app page so we're going
5:48
to see what happens next okay so code written
updated app page inspect changes and it just
5:56
says here I've added the search functionality you
can now search trips by typing in the search bar
6:00
filter by trip title and destination so we're
going to refresh the app and we can see that it
6:07
is there so you can search by the trips here it
also looks like it deleted the trip from before
6:14
so I'm just going to add this again there it is
and then we're just going to put in Paris and
6:19
obviously it's already there anyway so that's what
it looks like on desktop we can see what it looks
6:24
on mobile as well looks great and then there's
some other details here can add trip deletion
6:30
option this is the last thing we'll do before we
look at the Firebase and also deploying now it's
6:36
saying here unable to preview your app so your app
contains one of more errors that must be fixed the
6:41
preview should resume automatically when fixed
if it does not try refreshing the preview so I'm
6:46
not going to go too far into debugging this but
what you can actually do is if you scroll up you
6:52
can restore to this point confirm restore and I
imagine this is going to restore it from this area
6:59
here so let's see if this works okay so it
actually restored it back to when it was working
7:06
better all of all have been quite impressed with
this so far let's just see when we click Firebase
7:12
is that you can paste your Firebase config here
so then you you're able to then set up Firebase
7:17
that way if we just click deploy you have to set
a public account wide username to do that okay so
7:23
click deploy trly deploy up so let's see if it's
going to deploy so it's saying it's successfully
7:34
deployed the app so if I open it up very cool
so you can actually add the trips in here go
7:40
back to the homepage search trips as well so you
can think about the different types of apps that
7:46
you can create using databutton if You' like to
