Blink
AI builder that turns a description into web apps, websites, mobile apps and AI agents with a built-in backend.
What is Blink?
Blink is an AI app builder that produces web apps, websites, native mobile apps and AI agents. You explain what the business needs and Blink writes the code, sets up a SQL database, sign-in and Stripe payments, and publishes it. Apps can call text, image, video and speech models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google without API keys, with usage drawn from your credits. Mobile apps are native iOS and Android builds, and the Max plan also handles building and signing for App Store and Google Play publishing. Blink Claw is a hosted AI agent on its own virtual machine that works around the clock and can be reached from Telegram, Discord or Slack. Version history, two-way GitHub sync and code download keep the code yours. Pricing is credit-based rather than per seat: Free is $0 with 5 credits a day capped at 30 a month, Starter is $25 a month, Pro is $50 a month, Max starts from $200 a month and Business from $40 a month, with 50% off for annual billing.
