Weekend Hack: Building a ChatGPT Client for Apple Watch with AI

This post details the author's experience building a ChatGPT client for Apple Watch in a single weekend using OpenAI's API, SwiftUI, CloudKit, and Swift Data. The author leveraged AI to generate initial code, which provided a surprisingly good starting point despite some limitations in understanding watchOS specifics. The process highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of AI in modern development: while AI can quickly generate functional code, human intervention is crucial for refining the design, handling platform-specific quirks, and optimizing performance. The resulting app, WristGPT, is now available on the App Store, showcasing the potential of AI to accelerate the development process while emphasizing the enduring role of human developers in product creation.
