Want to integrate Claude AI into your app? You don’t need to be a coding expert. With Appery.io, you can connect Claude AI’s Cloud API to your web or mobile app in just a few steps. This guide will show you how.

Also, if you are into video instructions, you can check our new YouTube tutorial for how to use our new Claude plugin:

Step 1: Create a New App

Start by making a new project in Appery.io. Choose the blank template to get a fresh start. Once created, test it. Right now, it only has one empty screen, but we’ll improve that soon.

Step 2: Add the Claude AI Plugin

To connect with Claude AI, add the Claude plugin to your app. This plugin lets you send text and image-based requests to Claude AI, allowing it to generate smart responses.

The app now has the Claude screen:

Step 3: Add a Button to Access Claude AI

Next, let’s open Screen1 and add a Button component to it. Set it up so that pressing the button will take users to the Claude screen.

Now, save the app and click to test it. Click the button, enter a prompt, and see what happens. You’ll get an API key warning, but don’t worry—we’ll fix it next.

Step 4: Enter Your API Key

To use Claude AI, you need to obtain an API key from them. Go to the Model and Storage > Storage section in Appery.io, paste your key, and save the app.

Test again. This time, Claude AI should respond correctly!

Step 5: Test Image Processing

Want Claude AI to analyze images? Click the TAKE PHOTO button. If you have more than one camera, select one. Then, ask Claude AI: What’s in the photo? It should process the image and give a response.

Step 6: How the App Works

Let’s break it down. In Appery.io, you can:

• ✅ Store API details in the storage section.

• ✅ Use the Claude AI screen to interact with the API.

• ✅ Invoke the Take Photo function to access the camera.

• ✅ Run the app as a mobile or web version and take photos accordingly.

When you hit the CLAUDE button, the claude request function sends the prompt and image to Claude AI for processing.

Step 7: Claude AI’s API Request Code

The request code is in the Functions section of Appery.io. Here, the app checks if an API key is present, builds a request body, and sends it to the API. 

That’s it! Your app is now integrated with Claude AI.

Final Thoughts

As you can see, integrating Claude AI with Appery.io is quick and easy. No advanced coding is needed! Follow these steps, and you’ll have AI-powered features in your app in no time.

Building a mobile app doesn’t need to be hard. With Appery.io, a powerful low-code platform, you can create an AI-powered app in just a few minutes. In this easy-to-follow guide, we’ll show you how to use DeepSeek AI to build an app that can process text and even translate it from one language to another—no coding required! Plus, you can follow along with our full video tutorial for clear, step-by-step instructions.

Step 1: Setting Up Appery.io

To begin, log in to your Appery.io account and create a new application. From there, select the DeepSeek template, which is built specifically to integrate with DeepSeek AI. This template will give you everything you need to get started quickly.

Step 2: Testing DeepSeek with Base64 Conversion

Once your application is set up, click on the Test button to try it out. For example, ask DeepSeek AI to convert the word “hello” into Base64 format. You will likely receive a message asking you to enter an API key. This key is needed for the DeepSeek AI to work properly.

Step 3: Get Your API Key

Head to the DeepSeek platform, create your API key, and copy it. Return to Appery.io and paste the key into the Model and Storage section of your application. Save the changes.

Once done, repeat the test. This time, DeepSeek AI will respond with the great result!

Step 4: Exploring How It Works

Now that you’ve seen it work, let’s dive into how the app is built. In the Pages section, open the page named DeepSeek. Here, when you click the Send button, it calls the Send Message method. To understand the app’s behavior, open the CODE tab and look at the Functions section.

You’ll find that there’s a global variable, chatMessages, which stores all messages. The text entered by the user is saved in the text variable. The app then calls the fetchDeepSeekStream function, which processes the response from DeepSeek AI.

Step 5: Using DeepSeek for Text Translation

Next, let’s explore another use of DeepSeek AI—translating text. We’ve updated the app’s routing and set the initial page to Translation.

Now, try testing it:

• Type the word “home.”
• Click Translate.
• Watch the app translate “home” into Spanish!

This is how simple it is to use DeepSeek AI to handle text processing tasks like translation.

Step 6: Exporting Your App

Once your app works, it’s time to build it. In Appery.io, select EXPORT, then choose Binary APK. After a few minutes, your app will be ready.

You can then scan the QR code, download the app file, and install it on your phone to see it in action.

Conclusion:

In just a few simple steps, you’ve built an AI-powered mobile app using Appery.io and DeepSeek AI. The process is fast, easy, and requires no coding experience. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, Appery.io offers a powerful solution for building AI-integrated apps in minutes.

Have you ever wondered how to make you Ionic app access the list of contacts of your device?

This blog post walks you through the steps of creating an Ionic app that can do that. Also, if you prefer watching video guides, you can follow this YouTube tutorial to create such an app:

Getting Started with Your Ionic App

First, we need to create a brand-new Ionic app. For this tutorial, we’re using the Appery.io platform, which makes the development process straightforward and efficient.

1. Create a New App:

Open Appery.io and click Create new app.

Name your app and confirm. This action creates a blank Ionic app with a predefined screen layout named Contacts.

2. Adding the Contacts Page:

Add this Contacts page layout to your app and adjust the routing to make sure it points correctly to this page.

Reviewing & Testing Your App

Your app is now ready to display contacts. This page will show names, phone numbers, and pictures of contacts. Let’s click TEST to quickly preview the app.

You can also preview what the app looks like and how it functions by using the Appery.io Tester, a native app for testing. It’s user-friendly and works perfectly!

How It Works Behind the Scenes

Now, let’s go deeper into the technical step-by-step process to understand how everything works:

Cordova Plugins:

Under the Project > App settings > Cordova plugins tab, you’ll see that the app uses the Cordova Contacts plugin, which has been automatically imported. This plugin helps fetch the contacts.

Ionic Contacts Wrapper

We utilize the Ionic Contacts wrapper for better integration. You can check its detailed documentation page if you wish to dive deeper into this.

Setting Up Variables

Open the Contacts page’s CODE tab to see the variables that were added automatically:

– `contacts`: Returns the contact list.

– `keyword`: Enables filtering.

– `SAMPLE_AVATAR`: Displays a sample picture. You can upload your custom one by using the Media Manager, if needed.

– `SAMPLE_CONTACTS`: Provides a sample list for testing in the browser.

Displaying Contacts List in the App

Now, let’s scroll to the Functions section to see how the contacts list is added in our code.

If the app runs in a browser, it uses the sample contacts from the variable above. But if the app is run on a real device, it accesses the actual contacts list via the predefined `contacts` variable.

Creating a User-Friendly UI

Here’s how to make the contacts list visually appealing and easy to navigate:

List Component:

Uses ListItem with the *ngFor attribute to iterate through the contact list and display each contact’s information.

Filtering Contacts:

The *ngModel keyword in the Search component allows users to filter contacts by name.

Using Selections:

The app lets users select contacts easily. Selected contacts have the selected property set to true.

Conclusion

And that’s how to get access to the list of contacts in an Ionic app! This straightforward guide aimed to simplify the technical aspects and provide a clear path for even beginners. Now you can easily fetch and display contacts in your Ionic apps.

Happy coding!
