How to Build a $10,000 AI App in Hours Using Cursor and DeepSeek – No Coding Needed

Have you ever dreamed of launching a $10,000 mobile app but don’t know how to code? Thanks to AI tools like Cursor, DeepSeek, and Supabase, turning your app idea into a fully functional product has never been easier — or faster.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to build and launch a revenue-ready AI app without writing a single line of code. Whether you're a solo founder, digital creator, or a complete beginner, this post will show you how to go from concept to launch in just a few hours.

Step 1: Start With a Viral App Idea

Keywords: app idea generation, viral app development

Before you even think about the tools, you need an idea — but not just any idea. A viral app idea solves a real problem in a simple and shareable way.

• Solve a real problem: Think about common frustrations people experience daily.
• Keep it simple: Your app’s core function should be explainable in 3 words or less.
• Make it shareable: If your app is useful and solves a pain point, people will naturally talk about it.

Pro Tip: Use ChatGPT to validate your idea and brainstorm use cases.

• Lets users add tasks via AI chat.

Step 2: Design Your App Using Mobbin

Keywords: app UI design, no-code app design inspiration

Don’t reinvent the wheel. Use Mobbin — a massive design library with 100,000+ UI screens from apps like Spotify, Netflix, and Duolingo.

1. Go to Mobbin.
2. Search for apps in your category (e.g., Productivity).
3. Choose a proven design and copy the flow.
4. Paste it into Figma and clean up unnecessary pages.

Step 3: Set Up the “Brain” of Your App With Cursor AI

Keywords: Cursor AI, AI app development

1. Create a project folder (e.g., DeepworkAI) in Cursor.
2. Add a docs folder and create Context.md.
3. Use ChatGPT to describe your app in detail.
4. Paste that into the Context.md file and tag it using @.

🎯 Tip: This is essential for Cursor AI to understand and build your app accurately.

Step 4: Build the App Frontend With Expo

Keywords: React Native app setup, Expo app development

npx create-expo-app@latest -e with-router
cd DeepworkAI
npx expo start

Then download Expo Go on your phone, scan the QR code, and preview your app live!

Step 5: Add Database and Auth with Supabase

Keywords: Supabase authentication, no-code backend

1. Go to Supabase and create a new project.
2. Copy the anon public key and URL.
3. Paste them into your .env file in Cursor.
4. Use Cursor Composer to generate login/signup functionality.

Step 6: Integrate AI Chat with DeepSeek

Keywords: DeepSeek API integration, AI chat assistant app

1. Get your API key from platform.deepseek.com.
2. Paste it into your .env file.
3. Instruct Cursor: Build the AI chat feature from @DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md

Now your app can convert messages into intelligent to-do items — automatically.

Step 7: Polish Your UI with Real App Designs

Keywords: mobile app UI optimization

1. Go back to Mobbin and find inspiration.
2. Paste sample designs into Cursor.
3. Say: Use these screens as inspiration for redesigning the UI

Step 8: Launch to AppStore and Google Play

Keywords: how to publish app to AppStore and PlayStore

npm install -g eas-cli
eas login
eas build:configure

You'll need:

• Apple Developer account ($99/year)
• Google Play Developer account ($25 one-time)

Follow the Expo publishing guide to go live.

Final Thoughts: The Future Is No-Code + AI

With tools like Cursor, Supabase, and DeepSeek, anyone can become an app founder. You don’t need to learn how to code or hire a development team.

All you need is a great idea, a bit of guidance, and the willingness to let AI do the heavy lifting.
