I built an AI app with DeepSeek V3 [no code], here’s how

What is DeepSeek V3 and Why Should You Care?

Let's talk about the new kid on the AI block, DeepSeek V3. This isn't just another language model, it's an open-source powerhouse that's giving the big players like GPT-4 and Claude a run for their money. The best part? It's 31 times cheaper than those fancy closed-source models.

How Does DeepSeek V3 Compare to Other AI Models?

When it comes to performance, DeepSeek V3 isn't just keeping up, it's actually outperforming some of the most expensive AI models out there. In benchmark tests, it showed impressive results in:

• Advanced knowledge testing in medicine, law, and engineering
• PhD-level science questions
• Math problem solving
• Programming competitions
• Software engineering capabilities

What's the Catch with DeepSeek V3?

There is one small caveat, the API trains on your data. But don't worry, if privacy is a concern, you can use Together.ai, which offers a private version of the model.

Building Your First AI App with Bubble.io

Now for the fun part, let's build something useful! We're going to create a YouTube transcript summarizer that can extract key insights from long videos in seconds. No coding required, just your creativity and Bubble.io's drag-and-drop interface.

How Do You Set Up the Basic UI Elements?

Start by creating a new app in Bubble.io. The interface needs:

• A multi-line input field for pasting YouTube transcripts
• A stylish button for triggering the summarization
• A response section to display the AI's insights

What's the Secret to Connecting with the DeepSeek API?

The magic happens when we connect to the DeepSeek Platform. You'll need to:

1. Set up the API connector in Bubble
2. Configure the authentication headers
3. Create the proper API call structure
4. Handle the response formatting

Making Your AI App Look Professional

Nobody wants to use an app that looks like it was designed in the 90s. Let's give our creation some modern flair!

What Design Elements Make an AI App Stand Out?

Focus on these key design aspects:

• YouTube's signature red color (#FF0000) for branding
• Clean, rounded corners on buttons and input fields
• Subtle shadows for depth and dimension
• Proper spacing and alignment of elements

How Can You Improve the User Experience?

Consider these UX enhancements:

• Clear instructions for users
• Responsive design that works on all devices
• Loading states while the AI processes the text
• Error handling for better user feedback
