6 Common Questions About Building Apps With AI

In this solo Q&A episode of App Minded, I’m answering six of the questions I get most often about building apps with AI, from choosing what to build and which tools to use to what you actually need to learn and why I’ve chosen to build multiple apps.

00:52 Should I build a mobile app or a web app?

02:40 Should I build for iPhone, Android, or both?

05:47 Which platform should I use to build my app: Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Base44 or something else?

10:40 Do I need to know how to code before I start?

16:13 If I were building my first app again today, what would I do differently?

22:31 Why am I shipping multiple apps instead of sticking with one?

Along the way, I talk about why constantly switching tools can hold you back, what I think AI app builders should learn instead of obsessing over code, why architecture, databases and security matter, what shipping your first app teaches you, and what I’ve learned from building 12 apps in 12 months.

If you have a question about building, shipping or marketing your app, send it in for the next Q&A episode.
