With zero coding knowledge, they built an AI story app for children
A no-code app that writes illustrated children's stories with audio and answers kids' questions, built by someone who had never coded.
This student came to the AI Mastery class with no programming background at all. One tool introduced in class sparked an idea, and their nephew and friends' children gave it a purpose. The result is a working app that turns a button press into an illustrated, narrated story, proof that curiosity can be enough to start building.
Children's Story App
Before
They had never written a line of code. Building an app sounded like something for programmers, not for them. They wanted to put what they were learning into practice but needed a real use case to make it stick.
“As someone with zero knowledge of programming or coding, I was immediately fascinated by the tool GlideApps when we were introduced to it in the AI Mastery class.”
In their own words
The turning point
In the AI Mastery class, they were introduced to GlideApps and were immediately fascinated. They went looking for a way to apply it and found inspiration close to home, in their nephew and the children of friends. That gave them a reason to build.
“Later, I added another feature that answers children's questions with AI, generates a suitable image, and, if desired, creates also an audio response for the answer.”
In their own words
After
They built a children's story app in two parts. Press a button and a workflow creates a story with AI, adds images and, if wanted, audio. Later they added a second feature that answers children's questions with AI, generates a fitting image and can read the answer aloud.
What it lets people do
Children get stories made for them, with pictures and narration, at the press of a button. When they are curious about something, they can ask a question and get an answer with an image and an optional audio reply.
What they learned
They discovered how much is possible today without any programming skills. What felt out of reach became something they could build, simply by starting with a real person they wanted to make something for.
“It’s incredible what can be achieved without programming skills these days, and I’m grateful to have discovered GlideApps through the AI Mastery program.”
In their own words
Children's Story App was built during AI Mastery.
