This AI Code Builder ACTUALLY Works (backend too!)

AI app builders have exploded recently, but most struggle with serious backend features—until now. In this video, I test Convex, Bolt, Firebase Studio, and v0 by building a thumbnail A/B testing tool where users can log in, create tests, and vote. Convex surprised me with its real backend power: storage, auth, databases, and more—all in TypeScript and even open-sourced! I break down the dev experience, compare tools, and share the reality of building modern AI apps.
