Bubble, a no-code platform, connects to these AI models using APIs, making it easy to develop custom applications with AI-powered features. Users can start by building chatbots or interfaces that interact directly with AI, or use AI behind the scenes to enhance their app's capabilities. The guide covers how to get started with AI in Bubble apps, including setting up an OpenAI API key and using templates or plugins to incorporate AI functionality.

Jules Marcilhacy and Hugo Facchin founded Cuure, a personalized food supplement startup, utilizing the no-code platform Bubble to rapidly prototype and iterate on their business idea. Starting from a simple prototype built over a weekend, Cuure evolved into a company with €10 million in Series A funding, thanks to its ability to quickly adapt and meet customer needs without needing a traditional CTO. The flexibility of Bubble allowed Jules to manage both the technical and operational aspects of the startup, which led to significant growth, including a €1 million seed round and the development of logistics software to enhance personalization. As Cuure expanded, it maintained a "Bubble-first" approach, integrating the technology into its operations and planning a mobile app to further enhance its health and wellness offerings.
