ChatGPT Mobile App Tutorial: Vue, Convex & Capacitor (Step-by-Step)
- Built with: Ionic Vue, Convex (real-time DB + functions), OpenAI streaming
- Runs on: Web + Mobile (same codebase)
- What you’ll learn in the full video: Convex Vue plugin, schema + indexes, actions vs mutations, streaming → DB → UI, iOS deploy
In this comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to build a full-stack, real-time ChatGPT Style OpenAI chatbot from scratch. We’ll integrate the power of OpenAI’s API for intelligent conversations, use Convex for a real-time database and serverless backend, and build the front end with Vue.js and the Ionic Framework.
Finally, you’ll see how to easily package the entire web application into a native mobile app for iOS and Android using Capacitor. This project covers everything from setting up your environment to deploying a fully functional AI chat application with conversation history.
