Building a Multi‑Modal Chat App for Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS in 7.5 Hours with AI‑Powered Kuikly

In a single day the author used Kuikly’s Kotlin‑Multiplatform framework together with AI‑driven CodeBuddy to generate roughly 3,500 lines of code, integrate six ready‑made components, write two custom modules, debug an image‑loading issue, and ship a fully functional multi‑modal chat app that runs on Android, iOS and HarmonyOS without writing a single line of code manually.
