BuildShip + FlutterFlow + ChatGPT API - HOW TO BUILD AN AI TEACHING ASSISTANT

🚀 Want to build your app startup together? Check out Dreams Into Apps: www.ambitiousl...
My name’s Alim and over the last 10 year I’ve build 12+ apps. At age 21 I co-founded SeasonShare, a B2B SaaS for sports ticketing and grew the company from an idea to $10M in revenue. Then I built PrizePicks, the #1 daily fantasy sports app in the USA.
Throughout my career I’ve mentored 100+ early stage startups and angel invested in several.
Now, I’m the founder of Ambitious Labs, the leading no-code app building academy in the world. We’ve trained 450+ entrepreneurs on how to launch their app ideas themselves.
🚫 I’ve spent over $500k+ hiring developers on Upwork/Fiverr just to be ghosted and left with unusable code
🚫 I’ve written code for 15,000+ hours.. Lost sleep, been hospitalized for stress, and suffered extreme mental health issues. TLDR: coding sucks.
🚫 I’ve watched hundreds of founders burn their hard earned cash without validating their idea
🚫 I’ve seen people take out new credit cards to launch an app.. Just to lose it all…
And i do not want the same to happen to you.. Now in the area of no-code and AI, the smartest builders are
✅ Staying in control of their app by building it themselves using No-Code and AI
✅ Focusing on a lean MVP scope to avoid building something no one wants
✅ Following the same framework that billion dollar apps like Duolingo, Calm, Headspace, Tinder and others use to build revenue generating products
Through my failures and wounds - I built a launching acceleration platform called Dreams Into Apps that over 450+ builders are actively using to bring their ideas to life.

Your content has been incredibly impactful for me. I've had a concept for an application in mind for over a year, but as someone with no development background, I struggled to find a way to bring it to life without having to delve too deep into programming. Then I stumbled upon BuildShip and your fantastic tutorial videos. It's safe to say that you've unlocked a door to a new, bright, and thrilling future for me. You are my hero!

[@Hashartnft]

That’s awesome. Are you new to coding then and what was the app? Cheers mate 🍻

[@alma_sol23]

Hey Alim - Just wanted to thank you for your work on this. I've never coded or built an app before and I was able to use this as the roadmap to build a proof of concept for my first app today! It was a lot of fun and I'm stoked to start fleshing it out from here. For anyone else who tries to replicate, Buildship has updated the Trigger Editor tool used to add a 'Param' around the ~24:00 mark. It looks totally different and might derail you. To replicate Alim's work, add the 'topic' field under { } Body. So it should look like: Request Tab Output Heading { } Request { } Body = topic

[@Thomasallnice]

Thanks!!!!

[@seany280]

This is honestly a lot harder than I thought. As someone with 0 experience in app development, it's pretty overwhelming to follow along, especially towards the end

[@icarmelyne]

Dev here too, and I must say, I was just as thrilled as you were while I was watching this. It seems like an incredible tool. I may finally have enough time for my side projects.

[@guillermocespedes6231]

Thank you for the full explanation of how an API works, I've never seen such a great explanation.

[@reinhardberger7083]

Amazing to watch, this will create a seismic shift in how apps will be built and shipped in the future. Even more important, the world needs more gifted and engaged teachers like you to lead this revolution.

[@chriskellett6041]

This is the first time I have fully understood how this works. Thank you for your clear easy to understand explanation. The fact that you are so stocked about this and you know what you are doing is inspirational in its self.

[@kellyumerah]

Honestly man, you're a great teacher 💯

[@SebastianRoj-q3d]

This is great! Thank you for taking your time and energy to share the info with many of us. The whole thing is quiet new to me, yet I'm very excited to try it out. While following your instructions, I've run into couple issues: Chatgpt does not return any values when I test it under FF ( I've tried with module 3.5 and 4.0), Editing "Rest API Call" under Buildship Freeplan is impossible. I've noticed that you actually changed to paid plan(suddenly you can have max of 20 workflows instead of 5), which makes me think that the Node inputs are available under paid plan. If that the case, it would be great to mention it to the viewers. Nevertheless subscribed :)

[@lordthaps]

Literally 10 days later - a new Buildship video... 🔥🔥

[@mattspawn1975]

This is some great stuff my man! You could totally ride this wave to a successful channel. For real. Thanks for a great vid!

[@ambitiouslabs]

Lots more to come! Thank you for the support.

[@HyperUpscale]

Super cool tutorial!!!

[@KrisisOfficial]

You explain and present things so well and easy to understand that I fully believe YOU are going to be a major factor in my ideas success. Thank you for everything.

[@melvinjongen1697]

Maby you can crank out 1 video a day and show every function from openai and how to connect buildship and flutterflow

[@twidoh9128]

Maybe m8

[@gustavobeltra59]

Wow, very easy to understand and follow. Can't thank you enough.

[@francoisneko]

Loved your video and your enthusiasm ! Thanks for making such instructive contents

[@DanVanDamme]

I really appreciate the prep work you put into this tutorial and the thorough explanation for newbies! Is that Loom you are using to record this videos? Would love to see a tutorial with FF + Buildship + Supabase!

[@EmblazNOR]

Thank you! Liked, subscribed and shared it. Excellent work

[@savachi]

Amazing dude, I've just done a watch through and will go back and try to build along side you. So exciting!

[@mariomaro7]

Lol at the beginning I thought you were saying "build sh*t!" 😅 great video

[@andydataguy]

Been curious about buildship. Looks good

[@spruce_goose_]

You’re a good dude. Keep up the great content.

[@syedali5699]

You are awsome bro, i am new here, but the way you explained everything specially that APIs terms amd concepts its incredible. Thank you 😊

[@ghost_7336]

I'm trying to set up a Rest API Call, there's no edit option next to the dropdown for POST. I can't seem to add parameters. Any help?

[@leontheonly101]

I have the same issue.

[@vv4g]

Me too. Anyone have a fix?

[@markomarulic9808]

Great content, tnx for it! Small tip: volume could be higher and audio better ;)

[@arniifitness]

Love the passion man. Great video! I wonder if custom GPTs are going to become the mainstream method, instead of this method. I expect the backend prompting probably will be more expensive over time? Not sure if you thought about the pricing mechanics or business cases between both

[@harrybruce9773]

Thank you for this video. Keep up the brilliant work. :)

[@vv4g]

:24.24 I don’t have the Parma’s option. Any tips?

[@Gentlemen_Mindset]

subscribed. this is what i needed

[@adriangithenji461]

Hi Alim. Thanks a lot for this tutorial. Really helped me better understand some things. I hit a snag though. The option to use the OpenAI Chat integration seems to have changed. That option doesn't exist anymore. Which one can I use instead? Thanks again.

[@MindfulDiariesSofia]

How can I stream on web applications? It is not working on web for me... Thanks

[@TheRobertKuntz]

Great video and was fun to follow along! I got all the way to the end, with both APIs succeeding, and followed each step, then at the end when I went to build and test the app, it gave me a "NoSuchMethodError : 'toList' Dynamic call of null" error. I've retraced my steps twice and seems it should work. I know there have been new versions since this video, but how can I track this error down? Thanks!

[@johnson4076]

Amazing video, thank you soooooo much!!!

[@loficoder-98]

What tool name do you use for visual ideas like video?

[@valeriacerpasalas2330]

Hi, it says in Buildship, you exceded the quota. Why is that? Is this related to paid account in OpenAI? or buildship?

[@MindfulDiariesSofia]

Amazing video! thanks a lot

[@patrickfogui3620]

can it be done with n8n?

[@GoodlyRogue]

Great video

[@false-prophet-abc]

At 12:36, how is "/topics" determined? Is it something arbitrary, or something determined by ChatGPT?

[@EmblazNOR]

Would you do basic read writes to firebase via buildship also?

[@carpool-lanecom]

Wouldn't it be better to create / authenticate the new user through an buildship API call, rather than from FlutterFlow to Firebase directly? You mentioned that the Frontend should be as dumb as possible? Just trying to understand which is the best way to sign up new users and how to implement it. Thanks!!

[@maxxxtermind]

Damn, what a nice explanation. Thank you!

[@VILLAN19eighty2]

As a real beginner i think your videos are Fab I have encountered an issue when I'm trying to follow along, when i try to manually set the values in the return node as you do, i open a Json object and as soon as i do i get a yellow triangle and a message saying "the return value must be of type 'string". i thought nothing of this although it doesn't happen in your video, i continued and input in line 2 exactly as you have, only thin to note is unlike in your video where topic stays white the word topic always turns orange, i tried to ship the work flow as you did but it returns a message :Project manager returned 500: Internal Server Error with no error message. then when i copy and paste into the search bar i get the reply: Workflow not found, make sure you have deployed it with the trigger method set to GET and path set to /topics could you offer any advise please?

[@sindhumathi9209]

Can you please do some demo for BuildShip + FlutterFlow + Gemini or BuildShip + FlutterFlow + Vertex AI

[@melvinjongen1697]

Can you build the speech function ?

[@fecantadori]

Hello, I´m triyng to create a app that I can do a Onboarding on flutterflow that populates a firestore database, and I need to use this informations to create a Chatbot using GPT. How can I use this firestore "query" information in GPT?

[@melvinjongen1697]

Lets go more from this

[@issacabraham4647]

We need a tutorial video of create a real estate app ui in flutterflow and connect backend with buildship function. hope you do this

[@noobicorn_gamer]

Would love to see this for open source models because I am having troubles implementing it via buildship 😂

[@williamsalazar2624]

how to integrate CHATGPT with my our own API ?

[@PradipPaul-c9t]

absolutely great...

[@pannyfan4851]

Please update the video to have chapters

[@matthew9536]

Could you replace Flutterflow with Webflow?

[@dreddie777]

could u make a video about "created_by" in FlutterFlow please

[@andresgordillo4414]

❤ thank bro maje a video of how send structure data to a firebase database from a textfil or from the result of gpt 🙌🙂👍

[@verttix]

This is pretty cool.. but what about the costs?

[@Nahkturnull]

dude you're freaking awesome - the best low code teacher hands down.

[@KaiCodingJourney]

How do I make a post request but not with a string variable, but with JSON array?

[@RichardPeterShon]

Golden🎉🎉

[@MarlonVan]

I'm so interested in this.

[@Akshatgiri]

This is awesome! Does buildship handle versioning and deployment environments ( dev, prod etc ) to test and develop without issues?

[@ambitiouslabs]

Yes! And we’re in close touch with their team and helping them drive the roadmap. You can chat with their CEO from our Discord!

[@Akshatgiri]

Beautiful@@ambitiouslabs . I'll see ya there

[@M.eefgr5]

Please go over Supabase vs Firebase 🙏

[@ambitiouslabs]

I did! See latest video

[@azzamismail41]

Bro taught me more about frontend than most of the frontend influencers youtubers

[@hussainrehman7157]

there is no more open ai chat node

[@raiden7378]

Bro did you do your eyebrows?? loll .. You're probably using some filter ... right... right? loll Great videos... thank you!

[@nicolasrada1325]

Buildship seems interesting but the long videos and explanations make it complicate it to understand how it would help my development

[@JPxKillz]

Do you build you web apps with flutter flow?

[@Hashartnft]

Bro listen to the top comment man if you do one video a day you’ll have 1 million subscribers by June also, I have literally five years of experience and my partner has 29 so I just remember we got four years on you bro. Just remember that, yeah, yeah! *pumps chest out 😂* jk but I like the way you just said that because now I’m gonna start saying it literally almost 35 years experience. My team consists of two, but I will use the term “my team” now

[@VastCNC]

I love you, and appreciate the content. But let the eyebrows be free my man. The amount of sculpting is borderline distracting. I don’t want to hate, but if it was me, I’d want to hear it.

[@ambitiouslabs]

Hahaha this is an awesome comment. I agree when they’re fresh its a bit aggressive but let give ‘em a few weeks they’ll fill in.

[@Akshatgiri]

Those luscious eyebrows is what gets all the girls hot and bothered.

[@Snakeeater9210]

Great content but please relax a bit, you make me nervous

[@ambitiouslabs]

I’ll slow down. Thanks for the feedback!

[@badrxn6929]

at 12 minutes you got lost 😆
