How Zinley Started: The World's First iOS Developer

Hey there! Khoi here. Let me tell you a funny story about how Zinley came to be. Picture this: a bunch of us coders, sitting around, scratching our heads about what to do next. We'd just spent forever trying to make AI for travel, but boy, was that tough when you don't know much about travel!

So there we were, flipping through this list of cool ideas from YC. Nothing really grabbed us until - bam! - it hit me. "Guys," I said, "why isn't there a super helper for Xcode in this AI-crazy world?" With zillions of Apple coders out there, this could be huge!

Now, I got all excited and tried to get everyone on board. But you know what? They were kinda scared. "What about those big shots like GitHub and that new Devin thing?" they said. But I thought, "Come on, if we don't try, we'll never know!"

So, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. Let me tell you, making Xcode play nice with AI was like trying to teach a cat to swim. Just when I was about to throw in the towel, our buddy Jason had this brilliant idea about using a different way to talk to Xcode. And guess what? It worked!

You won't believe what happened next. In just two days - yep, you heard that right - two days! I made this calculator app, all by itself, using our new AI buddy we named Zinley. But wait, there's more! I didn't stop there. I made Flappy Bird and other cool games too. I was so pumped, I woke up Melvin at midnight to show him! By the next day, everyone was on board. And just like that, Zinley was born - the world's first AI that could make iOS apps all by itself!

Who knew coding could be this fun with an AI sidekick?
