About Appio

A solo-built AI app builder, made in India for Indian creators · Last updated 29 May 2026

Who builds Appio

Appio is built and operated by Mohit Rawat, a solo founder based in India. Not a team. Not a venture-backed startup with a glossy "About Us" page. One person writing the code, answering the support emails, and shipping the bug fixes.

If you email checkedus@gmail.com or support@appio.in, I'm the person reading it.

Why Appio exists

The big AI app builders — Lovable, Bolt.new, v0.dev, Cursor — cost roughly $20/month (about ₹1,700) at their entry tier. They require an international credit card. They don't understand Hindi or Hinglish prompts. They generate web apps, not installable mobile apps. None of them are built for an Indian tuition teacher, dukaan owner, or college student who just wants to type "ek attendance app banao" and get something they can WhatsApp to their class.

Appio was built specifically for that gap: rupee pricing, UPI checkout, Hindi prompts, and a single share link that installs the app to a phone's home screen. No Play Store. No app store approval. No coding.

What Appio actually does

  • Generates a React + Tailwind PWA from a plain-language prompt (English, Hindi, or Hinglish).
  • Renders a live preview inside the browser within seconds.
  • Lets you describe edits in chat — "make the colors more vibrant", "add a login screen" — and applies them.
  • Publishes to a public URL at /p/your-app that installs to a phone's home screen via the browser's PWA install flow.
  • Keeps a version history so you can roll back if an edit goes wrong.
  • Accepts payment via UPI, RuPay, debit cards, and Indian wallets through Razorpay.

What Appio does NOT do (yet)

I'd rather you know the limits up front than pay ₹149 and find out the hard way.

  • No real backend. Generated apps use the phone's local storage. There's no user accounts, no server-side database, no cross-device sync. If your app needs that, Appio is not the right tool today.
  • No Play Store / App Store builds. Output is a PWA. PWAs install to the home screen and work offline, but they are not native APK/IPA listings.
  • No code export. You can't download a zip of the project today. On the roadmap.
  • No vision / screenshot-to-app. The current model chain is text-only.
  • Smaller community. Bolt and v0 have years of Reddit threads. We're new.

How it's built

The generation pipeline runs on a multi-provider AI chain — DeepSeek V4 Flash as the primary model, Gemini 2.5 Flash as the fallback — wrapped in a Babel AST validator and an automated repair loop that catches and silently fixes common JSX errors before the preview renders. The web app itself is Next.js on Vercel, with Supabase for auth and data, and Razorpay for payments.
