I’ve recently started using Claude Code - I’ve been testing to reproduce what I’ve built in Bubble.io
I must say, I’m blown away. The only real advantage Bubble.io has for me is that it still has a Visual Editor, which makes things easy (for example if Claude isn’t making things pixel-perfect, I can go in and play around).
Is there any way to have Claude (even via the Chrome app) build out and make updates to my Bubble app? Does Bubble have a Claude equivelant, or is it planning one?
Buildprint is as close as we’ll get.
So I can say to buildprint - “Hey build a new feature that allows X to do Y, using my design system”, and it will?
Yes buildprint can do that.
(please be ever so slightly less lazy, this answer is everywhere in the forum and google would have done you wonders)
if the question starts with ‘can buildprint’, the answer is yes, unless it isn’t
Nah mate google/forum search didn’t. Hence why I posted. Thanks for the answer.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot too. I actually went through a similar journey recently.
I built a grade calculator tool using plain HTML/CSS/JS (with some AI assistance), and the whole thing came together surprisingly fast. It has weighted averages, GPA calculation, PDF report generation, class mode for teachers — features that would have taken me ages to wire up with custom states and workflows in Bubble.
The big advantage I found with the coded approach: performance is instant. There’s no server round-trip for every calculation, no WU cost for each user interaction. The entire calculator runs client-side, so it handles hundreds of inputs without any lag.
That said, I still think Bubble has the edge when you need user accounts, databases, and backend logic. For something like a standalone utility tool though, coding (even AI-assisted) was faster and the end result felt snappier.
Has anyone else here shipped a production tool using AI coding that they originally planned to build in Bubble? Would love to hear how it compared.
