How I built the Build Anything app with no-code using Adalo, MonkeyLearn, and Zapier.

I released the Build Anything app beta on June 22nd. I built it using Adalo, Zapier, and MonkeyLearn. The app suggests no-code tools you can use to build each product or business idea you add.

I released the Build Anything app beta on June 22nd. I built it using Adalo, Zapier, and MonkeyLearn.The app suggests no-code tools you can use to build each product or business idea you add.The basic functionality works like this:

A user adds a product or business idea name and description.
Zapier feeds the idea into MonkeyLearn which classifies it as a certain type (like "Mobile App").
Zapier updates the idea type. Then, Adalo lists the corresponding no-code tools of the same type.

Adalo

(no-code mobile app builder)

Why I chose Adalo

I could create a mobile app without any other tool. Design and database all-in-one.
Good balance between design flexibility and out-of-the-box components.
Integrates with Zapier so that I could extend functionality.

Adalo Database

Users, Tools, Ideas, Types
Kept it simple. Each Tool can be of a certain Type like "Website" or "Mobile App."
Ideas can also be of a certain Type.

MonkeyLearn

(no-code machine learning)

Why I chose MonkeyLearn

Machine learning is super cool. It allows you to "train" a machine by tagging text so the machine can learn how to tag future text for you.
It has a free plan.
Integrates with Zapier so that I could connect it to Adalo.

How I trained my monkey

I used https://simplescraper.io/ to download a CSV file of Product Hunt product names and descriptions (these serve as the sample ideas)
I uploaded the sample idea data into MonkeyLearn.
Then, I classified each sample idea by type.

Zapier

(no-code automation)

Why I chose Zapier

I'm the most familiar with it and it's the best ;)
Adalo and MonkeyLearn have apps on Zapier.
I also can make use of a free Zapier account for testing since I'm a Zapier employee.

Here's a link to the shared Zap I use to classify ideas.User feedback on the beta version tells me I need to be more specific about the no-code tool suggestions. I also need to add details about how to actually use the tools to build out the idea.I agree.I'll need to ask for more information when a user adds an idea so that I can be more detailed with a suggestion.\

Back to work!

Happy building,
