Shipper: Build Working Native Apps by Chatting with AI

You have the idea. The hard part is turning it into something real. Hiring a developer runs around $4,000 US a month per head, learning to code takes longer than most ideas survive, and most AI builders spit out generic templates that fall apart the moment you ask for something specific to your business. They forget context between sessions, leave you stuck in debugging loops, and your launch window slides further away with every patch.

Then there’s the part nobody warns you about: the strategy gap. Even when the code finally works, what comes next? Which feature should you ship first? Where does your product sit against everything already on the market? The technical hurdles are loud, but the strategic ones quietly kill more projects.

Shipper

Shipper is an AI-powered app builder that turns plain-English descriptions into fully functional applications, with hosting, database, and deployment handled in one place. Pair it with The Advisor, a separate AI consultant that reviews your project and tells you what to build, fix, or grow next.

Building with Shipper means you stop paying for what slows you down. Coding, debugging, agency retainers, and the cost of waiting all shrink, while the things that move the needle start showing up: real users, real revenue, real launches. Because the underlying engine is agentic, it reasons through your full project context before writing anything, so the code understands your business logic rather than pasting generic scaffolding on top of vague intent.

The Advisor sits one layer above that, watching market trends and your past decisions to surface improvements you’d otherwise miss. The result is a workflow where someone with no engineering background can ship an MVP before lunch, and an experienced developer can compress what used to be a quarter of work into an afternoon.

What’s Inside Shipper

Shipper packs a wide range of capabilities into a single chat-based workflow. Here’s what comes standard:

• Advanced App Analytics: Track engagement, retention, and behavior inside any app you build, without bolting on a third-party tool.
• Advisor Co-Pilot: A separate AI that reviews your project from the outside and recommends features, design changes, and growth moves.
• Agentic AI Builder: The core engine reasons about requirements, writes code, and self-corrects before deploying anything.
• AI Audience Research: Pulls market signals and user behavior patterns to inform what to build for whom.
• AI-Improved Prompts: Rewrites your input behind the scenes so the build instructions stay clear, even when your description isn’t.
• Auto Bug Fixing: Detects and patches issues automatically, cutting reported defects by roughly 91% versus standard AI coding tools.
• Chrome Extensions: Build browser extensions through the same chat interface used for full web apps.
• Connectors: Plug into external services so your app can talk to tools your users already rely on.
• Cross-Device Access: Because the workflow runs in the browser, you can build, refine, or check on a project from a phone, tablet, or laptop without switching apps.
• Email Sending: Configure transactional and outreach email flows directly inside your project.
• Hosting Included: Every app runs on Shipper’s infrastructure, so there’s no separate hosting bill or DevOps lift.
• Messaging Bots: Build for WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Discord without juggling separate platforms.
• Mobile and Web Apps: Generate applications that render properly across phones, tablets, and desktop browsers from a single description.
• Motion-Animated Websites: Add animation and interaction layers that would normally require a front-end specialist.
• One-Click Translation: Localize your app for new markets with a single command.
• Self-Fixing Applications: When something breaks in production, the AI diagnoses and resolves it without you having to step in.
• Smart Credit System: You only spend credits when the AI completes meaningful chunks of work, not on every individual step.
• Unlimited Collaborators: Bring teammates into any project on every plan, including the free tier.
• Video Generation: Create video content and embed it inside your app without external tools.

The Whole Stack in One Window

Stitch these capabilities together and Shipper functions less like a tool and more like an entire product team compressed into one chat window: a builder that codes and self-heals, plus a strategist that watches your market and your code at the same time. Anything you’d normally pay for separately, including hosting, database, analytics, billing, and design, lives inside the same project. That’s why a Pro seat at $25 a month does the work of a developer who’d otherwise cost you closer to $4,000.

Ship the Idea You’ve Been Sitting On

You have an idea worth shipping. Whether it’s an MVP you’ve been postponing, an internal tool that would save your team hours every week, or a niche app you sketched out on a napkin, the gap between thinking about it and using it is now a conversation rather than a hiring round.

Try the demo, push an idea through it, and see how far you get before your coffee cools. The free tier gives you daily credits to test the workflow before committing.
