Show HN: GenieUI – Turn prompts into editable iOS and Android interfaces

AndyGeek released GenieUI, a tool that converts natural-language prompts into editable iOS and Android interfaces by having an AI model select, configure, and position registered components from a user's design system rather than generating free-form HTML or CSS. GenieUI supports multiple AI providers including Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, MiniMax, Mistral, and Groq, and outputs a component tree with views, layers, inspector, zoom, and direct manipulation that can be exported. The tool is positioned as provider-agnostic, letting users switch models by task without rebuilding a project.

Between a phrase and an interface lies a design decision: what the AI is allowed to invent. #

  1. 01Input### You make a wishOne sentence in natural language. The provider and model are the ones you configured in your workspace.
  2. 02Constraint### The genie chooses from registered componentsThe model does not reply with free-form HTML or CSS: it selects, configures, and positions registered components from your design system. That is why everything it creates remains editable.
  3. 03Output### You keep designingViews, layers, inspector, zoom, and direct manipulation. Once the interface is yours, export it.

What genieUI does not do

A genie with rules is more useful than one with imagination. #

  • It does not return a screenshot. You get a component tree, not a PNG.
  • It does not invent arbitrary HTML or CSS. Your registered component catalog is the genie’s boundary.
  • It does not lock you into one AI provider. Switch models by task without rebuilding the project.
