The Backstory Exactly 30 days ago, I was frustrated. I kept switching between different AI apps — ChatGPT for reasoning, Gemini for speed, Grok for real-time news. Each had strengths, but none offered a single interface that could handle it all intelligently. So, I decided to build it myself. The problem? I had zero coding experience.

The Learning Curve When I started this journey last month, I had never touched a line of code or opened a terminal. I spent sleepless nights teaching myself everything from scratch. To give you an idea of the mountain I had to climb, 30 days ago I had zero experience with: * Languages & IDEs: JavaScript, Android Studio, Visual Studio

* Infrastructure: GitHub (version control was a nightmare at first), Firebase

* AI Integrations: OpenAI API, Grok API, Gemini API, Tavily (for search)

* Business Logic: Stripe integration for payments

What I Built The result is Ask AI — available now on Web & Android. It’s an all-in-one AI assistant designed to stop the “app fatigue.” Key Features: * Auto-Model Routing: An engine that analyzes your prompt and automatically routes it to the best model (Gemini Flash for speed, GPT-5/Grok for complex tasks). Saves you money and time.

* Visuals: Live 4K wallpapers and JavaScript-generated themes (Matrix, Terminal, Frosted Glass).

* Real-Time Data: Integrated Tavily and Grok to fetch live web data.

* Fair Pricing: A free tier that actually works (Nano models), plus a premium tier for heavy lifters.

Why This Matters Ask AI isn’t just another assistant. It’s proof that anyone — even with zero coding background — can learn, build, and launch something meaningful in just 30 days. My hope is that this inspires other beginners to take the leap and create. I Need Your Feedback Since this is my very first project, I’m sure there are bugs I haven’t found and UI quirks I’ve missed. I’d love for this community to test it out and give me brutally honest feedback. Try Ask AI here: * Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ask_ai.info.tw...
