Building an iPhone app with zero technical skills | Bryce Rattner Keithley

**Bryce Rattner Keithley has **spent her career in talent and recruiting, working with technical leaders but never writing a line of code herself. Yet she managed to build Daily Hundred—a fitness app featuring custom AI-generated videos of anthropomorphic animals demonstrating exercises—and ship it to the App Store before her software engineer friends. Using Replit, Claude, Gemini, and a relentless beginner’s mindset, Bryce proves that in the AI era, execution is no longer the constraint on good ideas. What you’ll learn: - How to build and ship an iPhone app using Replit without any coding knowledge - The step-by-step process for creating custom AI-generated workout videos by combining Gemini images with real exercise footage - How to use Claude as your technical architect and Claude Code as your software engineer - How to navigate App Store submission requirements (including fixing rejection feedback) - Why being hyper-literal in your prompts unlocks better AI results - Why a beginner’s mind is actually an advantage when building with AI tools — Brought to you by: WorkOS—Make your app enterprise-ready today Metaview—The agentic recruiting platform for winning teams — In this episode, we cover: (00:00) Introduction to Bryce and Daily Hundred (04:48) Building with Replit (06:16) The beginner’s mindset advantage (11:17) Creating anthropomorphic animals (22:55) Moving from static image to video (27:15) The floating genie and other anthropomorphic animal generations (30:46) Shifting from web app to App Store submission (36:24) User feedback (37:41) Lightning round and final thoughts — Tools referenced: • Replit: https://replit.com/ • Lovable: https://lovable.dev/ • Claude: https://claude.ai/ • Claude Code: https://claude.ai/code • Gemini: https://gemini.google.com/ • Higgsfield: https://higgsfield.ai/ • Kling: https://kling.ai/ • Railway: https://railway.app/ • TestFlight: https://developer.apple.com/testflight/ — Other references: • How a 91-year-old vibe coded a complex event management system using Claude and Replit | John Blackman: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/how-a-91-year-old-vibe-coded-a-complex • What Got You Here Won’t Get You There: [https://www.amazon.com/What-Got-Here-Wont-There/dp/[redacted phone]](https://www.amazon.com/What-Got-Here-Wont-There/dp/[redacted phone]) • How Women Rise: [https://www.amazon.com/How-Women-Rise-Holding-Careers/dp/[redacted phone]](https://www.amazon.com/How-Women-Rise-Holding-Careers/dp/[redacted phone]) • A Whole New Mind: [https://www.amazon.com/Whole-New-Mind-Right-Brainers-Future/dp/[redacted phone]](https://www.amazon.com/Whole-New-Mind-Right-Brainers-Future/dp/[redacted phone]) • How to Win Friends and Influence People: [https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/[redacted phone]](https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/[redacted phone]) — Where to find Bryce Rattner Keithley: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brycerattner/ GitHub: https://github.com/brk-bot/ Daily Hundred on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/daily100-fitness-challenge/id6762108062 — Where to find Claire Vo: ChatPRD: https://www.chatprd.ai/ Website: https://clairevo.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clairevo/ X: https://x.com/clairevo — Production and marketing by https://penname.co/.
