The {Junior} AI Software Dev
When I started working on NonBioS last year, the goal was clear: build an AI Junior Software Engineer and gradually move up the capability chain.
One of NonBioS users just sent me this message: "Finally working, feels so glad." He had just deployed his guided meditation app after a fascinating journey that perfectly captures what NonBioS is all about.
Check out what he built: https://meditation-app-tawny-eight.vercel.app - a fully functional meditation app with multiple breathing patterns along with customizable session durations.
Here's what happened: He started by doing something clever - using NonBioS to reverse-engineer a better prompt within NonBioS itself. Instead of jumping straight into development with a generic "build me a meditation app" request, he first asked NonBioS to help craft a more detailed, technically precise prompt that would yield better results. This meta-approach meant the generated code was functionally accurate from the start.
The initial development happened entirely within NonBioS's Virtual Machine. He tested the app while it was running there, clicking through the different breathing patterns, testing the timer functionality, and checking the visual feedback during meditation sessions. He found some minor usability issues - the transition between breathing phases wasn't smooth enough, and the visual indicators needed refinement. He gave NonBioS this feedback in plain English: "The breathing transition feels abrupt" and "Can we add a more subtle animation here?" NonBioS understood, iterated on the code, and he watched it refine the implementation until everything worked perfectly.
The GitHub integration was straightforward. NonBioS committed the code with meaningful commit messages, pushed to his repository, and the entire codebase was now version-controlled and ready for deployment.
Then came Vercel deployment. The build process started fine, but threw an error about module resolution. NonBioS suggested a fix based on its understanding of Vercel's build environment. That fix didn't work - the error persisted. Then two more errors showed up during the build process - ones that only appeared on Vercel's servers, not in the NonBioS VM. These were related to how Vercel handles static assets and environment variables differently from a standard Node environment.
But here's the thing - he just copied the error messages directly to NonBioS. "Hey, I'm getting this error on Vercel: Module not found: Can't resolve..." NonBioS read the error, understood the Vercel-specific context, and debugged it. Another error appeared about build optimization settings. He shared that too. NonBioS analyzed the error stack trace and provided a targeted fix. This went on for a few rounds - each error message leading to a deeper understanding of the deployment environment differences, each fix getting closer to the solution, until suddenly... it was live.
This is exactly why we built NonBioS to run on a bare metal Linux VM with full system access. It's not trapped in some sandbox with limited permissions - it can run npm commands, push to GitHub, deploy to Vercel, interact with any API or platform you throw at it. It has access to the terminal, can install packages, run build processes, and debug deployment issues. Just like a real developer at their machine.
But more importantly, this journey shows what really differentiates NonBioS: you never get stuck. Every error is a learning opportunity, every roadblock is just another problem to solve together. It's like having a junior developer who might make mistakes, might need guidance, but will always find a way forward with you. When that first Vercel fix didn't work, NonBioS didn't give up or suggest you "check the documentation." It analyzed why the fix failed and tried a different approach. No dead ends. No "I can't do that." Just continuous progress toward your goal.
The final app is impressive in its completeness. Users can choose from scientifically-backed breathing patterns, each with its own timing and purpose. The interface provides real-time visual feedback during meditation sessions, helping users maintain their rhythm. All of this complexity was built through natural conversation and iteration - no need to understand React hooks, state management, or CSS animations. Just describe what you want, test it, provide feedback, and watch it evolve.
Some people build complex SaaS apps with NonBioS. Others create simple tools. This user built a polished meditation app that could easily be a commercial product - all through natural conversation and iteration. The entire process, from initial prompt engineering to final deployment, took just a weekend.
Every app built with NonBioS tells a different story, but they all share this same characteristic: resilient, iterative progress. You're never alone in the trenches of debugging. You're never stuck staring at an error you don't understand. You always have a path forward.
That's what shipping with NonBioS feels like.
