Eight-year-old’s app idea built by Nobig.deals founder in 50 minutes

The founder of the tech company Nobig.deals, Michal Černý, helped his eight-year-old daughter Anička build a real mobile app in under an hour — and now shows the story to clients as a vivid example of what artificial intelligence is already capable of today.

Černý advises companies on process automation and the use of AI, so it was only a matter of time before his own children got curious about the technology too. It all started with a simple question from his daughter about what he was always doing “with those boxes.” Once the girl grasped what artificial intelligence could do, she brought her father a handwritten sheet describing an idea — a kind of real-world “Pokédex”: an app where you could photograph bugs, birds, plants or interesting places, and the AI would recognize the object in the photo and tell you about it.

Černý decided not to let the idea sit, and that same day he sat down with his daughter to work on the project. They wrote up the requirements and described them to ChatGPT, which generated an initial visual mock-up. From there, the eight-year-old personally oversaw every detail — from picking a fox mascot to designing the app as a photo album with badges and stickers for each discovery.

The actual coding was done in several windows of the Claude Code tool running at once: one built the main screen and camera, another handled the rewards and progress-saving system, and a third connected the app through the OpenRouter service to an object-recognition model. According to Černý, the hardest part wasn’t the coding itself but keeping an eight-year-old’s attention. The whole thing took about 50 minutes of actual work.

At the same time, the entrepreneur warns that this kind of speed is only realistic when someone who understands the field is steering the process. AI can generate code instantly, but you still need to know how to properly connect models via an API and watch for technical limitations — without that experience, 50 minutes could easily have turned into days of debugging.

The result is Objevitel.app — a gamified pocket encyclopedia, already available for iOS, with an Android version promised after the summer. Every user gets a hundred free credits for a hundred “discoveries”: that’s how many photos they can upload for the AI to compile a set of facts about and reward them for.
