According to a Gartner research report, by 2025, 70% of new applications developed by organizations will utilize low-code or no-code technologies.

So why shouldn't we create a new application by using AI?

This process can be overwhelming if you are new to some of these tools; however, in the end, you will be amazed at what you have done. Let’s see the steps you must follow.

How to Launch an AI Startup Using Only Chat: Claude Code + Cursor in 8 Steps

Step 1: Claude Code

Claude Code is similar to Google CLI. You can use it inside your Command Line.

How to Install Claude Code?

Here is the code to install it.

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Initiate Claude Code

Just write Claude and type Enter via your terminal.

claude

Just like this. It asks you to log in to your Claude account, and after authentication, it will ask you a safety question.

Now let’s pause this, and we will get back to it.

Finding an Idea

Also in this step, you can use LLM, but I have one idea on my mind. For a while, I have been watching Starter Story, an excellent YouTube channel.

Step 3: Idea

After watching this channel a lot, I realized that having an app that automates this start-up creation process would be great! If you're struggling to find an idea, consider using LLM; it's pretty good.

Here is my initial prompt.

Step 4: Claude Code Again

Just paste this prompt into Claude Code, ensuring it creates folders and starts the app. However, don’t force it too much; this step is just for creating folders and getting a first look.

First, it will create to-dos like this.

You will need to approve a lot of things, like;

Just continue until you see the app is running, and ask for the folder of this file.

Step 5: Cursor

Reference

Cursor is an AI Code editor that helps you edit your code by just prompting. You can download from here.

After downloading, just open the folder that Claude Code gave you.

Open Project- Cursor

Here is the cursor screen;

Cursor

You can see the chat at the top right, where you can update your app by just talking like Claude.

Here, tweak as much as you can; if you have a free limit, they will warn you; otherwise, you can take a lot of your limit from here.

Step 6- Clerk

Reference

Clear is a user management platform. By using it, you can easily create a user authentication process.

After signing in, just send the document they sent you to the cursor, and it will figure out the rest. One challenging aspect to address is integrating Google login; however, if you are using ChatGPT/Claude aside, this won’t be a problem.

Tip: Go here and select the coding language from the top left, and then paste the document to the clerk.

Step 7 -Database

Reference

Supabase is the easiest way to integrate a database into your project. Please view this video to discover it in 100 seconds.

Just go to supabase.com, create a free project, and copy the API keys. And talk with the cursor, and it wants you to put the API keys by yourself, but since it will show you the location of the .env file, this won't be too hard.

Step 8 — Deployment

Reference

Vercel is free and easy to understand. Here is what you must do to publish your app;

1. Create a GitHub repository.
2. Sign up for Vercel.
3. Link your Vercel with your GitHub repo
4. Click on deploy.

Here is the link where you can discover more if you don’t understand fully.

Startup-Idea Generator

After following these steps, here is the startup ide generator.

Reference

You can sign in for free and use your free tokens to generate advanced ideas. Here is what it looks like: (Fill the form and it will generate your advanced report, like in the right one.)

Bonus: Payment

Reference

Clerk also lets you add a subscription-based model to your website. If you connect with your Stripe account, here is the entire documentation.

Why did I always send you the documentation?

In the cursor, you can train the model you have, like this;

Step 1: Create the doc

Just type “@d” and select the docs.

Step 2: Add new doc

Add the new doc — cursor.

Step 3: Define the new doc

Define the new doc — cursor.

Step 4: Name the new doc

Name the new doc — cursor.

Good, now when you call your agent with this, it will visit there and do the things you want to by following the information from here;

Use the doc- cursor

Final Thoughts

In this article, we have explored how to create an AI app, integrate with the database, add user authentication, and set up a Stripe connection by writing zero code. So, what do you think about coding? Do you think you have to learn?
