hey gpt4, make me an iPhone app that recommends 5 new movies every day + trailers + where to watch.

My ambitions grew as we went along 👇

Here's version 1. Had to ask it to fix 2-3 of its own bugs, which it did (and apologized). The app compiled and did what I asked:

I asked it to clean up the messy UI

With all that new space in the sheet, I asked it to add movie trailers, thinking "yeah, right"

Not knowing if the data was at all available, I asked it to show available streaming services.

What was cool was the way it told me to update the code: instead of giving me the entire app over and over, it chose sections and even commented unrelated code out

Just like that, I now have an app I'm pretty sure I'm going to use again tomorrow.

I didn't consult the API docs once. I didn't even pick the API in the first place. I did help gpt4 out a few times.

Like a good coworker.

Here's the entire app

Language models that code are indeed "infinite app stores"

Now we just need infinite product managers to give us the apps we _really_ need. Wait, could it .. ? 👇

🤷🏻

whoops, wrong video. This one instead:

Next up, an app icon, by Midjourney. It's a remote with built-in popcorn

Just submitted the app to the App Store
