AI Assistant in Expo β€” ChatGPT Integration for Smart Notes

πŸš€ AI Assistant for Expo & React Native Apps

NativeLaunch now includes a built-in AI Assistant powered by ChatGPT, allowing you to add intelligent note generation, summarization, and content improvement directly inside your Expo app.

If you’re building a notes app, productivity tool, SaaS MVP, or AI-powered mobile product β€” this feature helps you ship faster.


Why Add AI to a Notes App?

Modern users expect more than just text storage. They want:

  • ✨ Smart suggestions
  • 🧠 Automatic summaries
  • ✍️ Content rewriting
  • πŸ“‹ Structured note generation
  • ⚑ Instant idea expansion

With the new AI Assistant integration, your Expo app can do all of this β€” out of the box.


What’s Included in NativeLaunch

The AI Assistant feature includes:

  • πŸ” Secure API integration (server-side via Supabase / Edge Functions)
  • πŸ’¬ Assistant-style chat UI inside the app
  • πŸ“ Generate notes from prompts
  • πŸ“„ Summarize long notes
  • πŸ”„ Rewrite or improve text
  • 🌍 Multi-language support
  • ⚑ Optimized for Expo + React Native

It’s not just an API call β€” it’s a real assistant screen, integrated into the app flow.


Architecture Overview

The integration follows best practices:

  1. User sends prompt from the app.
  2. Request goes to a secure backend (Edge Function).
  3. Backend calls OpenAI API.
  4. Response is returned safely to the mobile app.

This prevents exposing your OpenAI API key inside the client.
