Project Overview
Aptly is an extension of the MIT App Inventor platform, enabling anyone to create apps using natural language. Aptly complements App Inventor’s block language with a purpose-built text language, allowing LLMs to generate visual code. One day, Aptly could enable users to describe any app they want in conversation with an AI model, fostering technological creativity anywhere a phone is available.
