Build an App With Just One Sentence? What Kind of Magic Is This?

At WAIC 2026, Baidu's Miaoda 3.5 lets anyone create apps with a single sentence. With 35 million users and 3.5 million apps built, the no-code revolution is no longer a buzzword.

Build an App With Just One Sentence? What Kind of Magic Is This?

At WAIC 2026, Miaoda showed up with version 3.5 — and it's a big leap forward.

From the "One Sentence, One App" promise of version 3.0 at Baidu Create, to version 3.5's "Simpler, More Versatile" at this year's World AI Conference, Miaoda's philosophy has stayed consistent:

Keep lowering the barrier to development while expanding what's possible.

The numbers speak for themselves: Miaoda has served over 35 million users, powered the creation of 3.5 million commercially viable applications, and nearly 200,000 people use these apps daily to solve real-world problems.

What's new in 3.5? The biggest upgrade is multi-modal input. You can now describe your idea with text, upload a sketch, or even speak it out loud — and Miaoda figures out the rest. It generates the frontend UI, the backend logic, the database schema, and even deployment configurations in one shot.

For small business owners who can't afford a development team, for teachers who want to build interactive classroom tools, for content creators who need custom landing pages — this changes everything.

One demo at WAIC showed a bakery owner creating a complete online ordering system with inventory management in under 3 minutes — just by describing what she needed in plain Chinese.

Is this the end of programming as we know it? Not quite. But it's certainly the beginning of a world where having an idea is enough to build something real.
