How Do You QA an AI-Built App in Just 48 Hours?
You use AI to build it and you use AI to test it.In this post, I’ll show exactly how I launched a production-ready app in 2 days and validated every screen using AskUI’s new visual QA feature.
How Do You Build a Functional App in 48 Hours?
You can rapidly assemble an MVP by combining:
- AI code generators (like GPT-5-based Codium or GitHub Copilot X)
- No-code/low-code tools (like Retool, FlutterFlow)
- Component libraries for UI scaffolding (Material UI, Tailwind Components)
Within 2 days, I had:
- A functional front-end
- A REST API using Supabase
- Authentication and basic analytics
But shipping this quickly came with a challenge: how could I prove it was actually reliable?
What’s the Problem With Rapidly Built AI Apps?
Vibe Coders move fast but so do bugs. Apps assembled with AI tools often skip deep testing. That leads to:
- Broken buttons or UI edge cases
- Missing error states
- Flaky automation scripts
Worse: users don’t trust them. No QA? No credibility.
How Did I QA My App Without Slowing Down?
I used AskUI’s new launching chat can AI test engineer that visually validates apps like a human would.
Here’s what it did:
- Executed natural language test commands like:
- Verified multi-OS behavior (Windows/macOS/Linux)
- Generated visual test reports for every step
Instead of writing brittle Selenium or Playwright code, I described what I wanted and it ran it.
What Makes AskUI Different From Traditional QA Tools?
What If My UI Changes Frequently?
AskUI handles dynamic UIs better than traditional locators. Since it visually understands the interface, it doesn’t break when IDs or class names change.
Can I Use AskUI With My CI/CD Pipeline?
Yes. The new launching chat integrates with:
- PyTest for automation workflows
- GitHub Actions / GitLab CI
- Slack or email test alerts
It fits right into your build-test-deploy process.
Why Should Vibe Coders Care?
You move fast. But if your users encounter broken flows or unverified features, they won’t trust your app.
AskUI’s new feature gives you:
- A "Stamp of Quality" to show your app works.
- Confidence in every deploy.
- Visual proof for stakeholders.
FAQ: Building and QA-ing AI Apps Fast
Can AskUI handle custom-built UIs?
Yes. It visually understands your UI no need for framework-specific selectors.
How long does it take to set up?
Under 10 minutes. Install the AskUI Vision Agent, link your app, and you’re ready.
Is it only for web apps?
No. It supports desktop apps, too.
Can I try it for free?
Yes, the beta is open now
