This post is my submission for DEV Education Track: Build Apps with Google AI Studio.
What I Built
Inspired by the rising popularity of collectibles such as Smiskis and Sonny Angels, I created “Collectible Creator.” You enter an idea for a collectible into the box, click generate, and watch your vision come to life! Once satisfied, click the “I’m satisfied” button to generate how it would look as a keychain and a mini themed collection.
I made sure to specify the AI tools I was using, the aesthetic choices for the app’s appearance, and conducted numerous trials and errors to determine how I wanted the characters to look.

My Experience
I was quite surprised by how well the AI worked. I thought it would constantly misinterpret my words or neglect parts of my prompt, but it was successful most of the time. You could see the code forming before your eyes, with a bar on the side also tracking errors and progress. I had to change Imagen AI to Pollinator AI, as Imagen was a paid service, and make some tweaks to prevent the app from crashing. However, the overall process was smooth. It is not perfect, and there were times it did not understand my prompt at all; I had to repeat myself many times. Yet, still much faster than if I coded it by hand. There are also still some bugs where the app returns incorrectly formatted results, but you can retype the prompt and try again. Overall, very cool and will definitely be experimenting with this to create more complex apps!
