Instant Unveils 'manyminiapps' Experiment: AI Generates Mini-Apps with Backend in Under 2 Minutes

Instant, a company known for its no-code solutions, has launched an experimental new platform called "manyminiapps" designed to allow users to generate functional mini-applications with their own backend from a single text prompt. Announced today, the platform promises rapid development, with apps created in under two minutes without requiring any user signup.

The core of the "manyminiapps" experiment lies in its simplicity and speed. According to the company, "You don't need to sign up," and users "write one prompt" to "get an app back with its own database, in under 2 minutes." This streamlined process aims to democratize app creation, making it accessible to individuals without coding experience.

Instant describes "manyminiapps" as "the world first massively multiplayer online, mini app maker." This refers to the platform's community-driven nature, where all generated applications are public and viewable by anyone. Users can create and share their apps, fostering an environment of collaborative exploration, though they can only delete their own creations.

The initiative is positioned as an experiment, with the company noting its longevity is tied to available "AI credits." This suggests a reliance on advanced artificial intelligence models to interpret prompts and construct the mini-applications and their associated databases. Instant typically focuses on tools for building high-converting landing pages and sections without code, making this AI-powered app generation a significant expansion of its offerings.

While the broader "instant app" concept, such as Google Play Instant, is seeing changes (with Google Play Instant discontinuing support by December 2025), Instant's "manyminiapps" differentiates itself by focusing on the creation of new, custom mini-apps rather than merely providing instant access to existing ones. The project aims to push the boundaries of AI-assisted development and community-driven content creation.
