When working with APIs, I noticed that getting from “API docs” to a working app often takes hours or even days. You need to read through documentation, figure out authentication, and piece together example code before you can even test if the API fits your use case.
I wanted to make this faster, so I built SampleApp.ai. It lets you type in a use case (e.g. “build a price tracker with this API”) and automatically generates a runnable sample app in under 60 seconds. The playground comes pre-wired with authentication, API calls, and example UI (depending on the API/SDK) so you can start experimenting right away.
The idea is to help API providers give developers a “time-to-first-app” experience instead of just “time-to-first-call.” It can be embedded directly in API docs or used standalone for onboarding, sales demos, or internal integrations.
Hey folks! Jun Liang here I’m excited to bring you a new way of interacting with any company's public API/SDK.
For companies with public facing API/SDK, the biggest problem they face is onboarding devs to their API/SDK. For any developer, tailoring the API code to your specific use case is an uphill battle. It involves reading through a ton of documentation and often dealing with unforeseen errors.
What if you don't have to read documentation anymore? What if you can go from an idea to a working app integrated with a company's public API/SDK with just a click?
sampleapp.ai turns your company’s public API/SDK into interactive sandboxes—so developers onboard in under 60 seconds, not 60 minutes. Used by Statsig and many other leading dev companies.
Simply describe your app idea and which API you'd like to use (e.g., “Build a movie recommender with our embedding and retrieval API”). In 60 seconds, you get a live, working app integrated with your API/SDK—instantly in the browser. You can preview, fork or deploy it instantly.

I’d love feedback from API developers and providers — what’s missing, what’s confusing, and what would make this genuinely useful for your workflow?
