Build an iPhone app with AI chat and image generation

Borel builds iPhone apps with AI inside: an assistant people chat with, and pictures made from words. Describe what the AI should do, and Borel writes it in Swift on BorelKit, which calls Borel's AI for your app. There are no API keys to get or paste, and no AI account to set up.

Ideas

What you can build with built-in AI

A few apps people make with it. Describe yours in your own words.

  • A cooking helper

    Tell it what's in your fridge and it suggests dinners.

  • A bedtime story app

    Type a story idea and it paints a picture to go with it.

  • A study buddy

    Ask about your notes and get answers in plain words.

  • A gift idea finder

    Describe someone, and get ideas that suit them.

  • A journal that listens

    Write about your day and get a short, kind reflection back.

Try it

A prompt to start from

Copy it, or start with it and change it to fit your idea.

The prompt
“A cooking helper: I tell it what's in my fridge and it suggests dinners, and it paints a picture of the dish I pick.”

From words to your iPhone

Three steps, no code

  • 1

    Describe it

    Say what the app does in plain words, or start from the prompt above. No code, and no Mac.

  • 2

    Watch it build

    Borel writes the Swift, compiles it with Xcode on its own Mac and opens it in the iOS Simulator, streamed into your browser.

  • 3

    Put it on your iPhone

    Borel Companion installs it over a cable the first time, then over Wi-Fi, and while it runs it puts each new version on by itself.

How Borel handles it

Written in Swift, with Apple's own frameworks

What Borel takes care of for you, so the feature works the way iPhone owners expect.

  • No keys in the app

    The app talks to Borel's AI through BorelKit, so there's no key inside it for anyone to find.

  • The model you choose

    Borel's default answers, or pick a model in AI in the chat's + menu, such as Claude Sonnet 5.

  • Consent, as Apple asks

    The app asks people's consent before its first AI request, and offers a switch to turn AI on or off.

See its screens in the iOS Simulator in your browser while you build, and talk to the AI on your iPhone with Borel Companion.

Your Apple ID

Works with a free Apple ID

Yes. Borel Companion puts the app on your own iPhone with a free Apple ID, which keeps up to 3 of your apps there, and Companion renews them every 7 days for you.

Frequently asked questions

No. The app uses Borel's AI, so there's no account to open and no key to paste.

It's charged to your Borel balance, so there's no separate AI bill, and it stops when the balance is empty.

Borel's default, or a model from Borel's AI catalogue, such as Claude Sonnet 5 or GPT-5 mini.

Yes. People describe a picture, and the app makes it and keeps it in its files to show.

The app asks for consent before anything goes to AI, as Apple requires, and shows the AI switch in its settings.
