AutomaticGPT – The AI Chat App Template for Expo Devs

Why I Built It

After months inside ChatGPT, I wanted a mobile experience I could fully control—fast, customizable, and built on a stack I actually enjoy. Every AI app repeated the same work: chat UI, auth, API wiring, state management, analytics. So I packaged the system we run for clients into a reusable template.

AutomaticGPT isn't another generic chat app. It's a launchpad for building the AI product your customers actually need.
