Step-by-Step Guide: Build Custom Apps Without Coding Using DeepSeek & Quests

Build Apps & Games in Minutes with Free AI Tools – A Complete Guide

If you've ever dreamed of creating your own app or game but assumed it'd take years of coding skill or a massive budget, then you're not alone. Fortunately, the landscape of AI-assisted development has totally turned things on its head. With free and open-source tools like Quests and DeepSeek Coder, anyone can create fully functional, professional-grade applications and games in minutes — all without writing a single line of code.

Why This AI Tool Is a Game-Changer

Most AI tools that promise app-building capabilities come with high monthly subscription fees or limited functionality. However, Quests paired with DeepSeek Coder offers something revolutionary:

  • Completely free and open-source — no platform lock-ins.
  • Generates clean, professional code using modern frameworks like React, V, and Hono.
  • Provides a browser-like interface with multiple tabs, allowing you to work on several projects at once.
  • Offers real-time previews and localhost testing for instant feedback.

This means you get full ownership of your code, and you can deploy it anywhere, modify it however you want, and scale it at no additional cost.

What Can You Build?

The possibilities are endless! Here are some examples you can build today:

  • Movie tracker apps
  • Chess games
  • Minesweeper clones
  • Task managers
  • Weather apps
  • Social media dashboards
  • Custom workflows for your team or business

I built a movie tracker, a chess game, and a minesweeper all in under 10 minutes. Each app was fully functional, responsive, and ready to deploy.

How It Works

1. Download Quests (currently available on macOS, but it’s possible to run on Windows with a few steps — full guide available in my AI Money Lab).

2. Use an AI provider key from Open Router, which offers DeepSeek version 3.1 for free.

3. Type your app idea in plain English — “Build a task manager,” “Create a weather app,” or “Make a social media dashboard.”

4. Watch as the AI thinks through the steps, creates the file structure, writes code, and presents a working app live.

Why DeepSeek Coder Stands Out

  • Scores 66% on complex coding tasks, beating GPT-3.5 and Claude Opus in some tests.
  • Uses real-world tools that developers love.
  • Understands context — changes colors, buttons, and layouts intuitively.
  • Allows you to build exactly what you need, without compromise.

Who Should Use This Tool?

  • Entrepreneurs needing MVPs to test ideas.
  • Small businesses requiring custom dashboards.
  • Teams automating workflows.
  • Creatives and students wanting to learn app development without coding.

You don’t need to be a programmer — you just need curiosity and a willingness to start.

Action Plan – Start Building Today

1. Download Quests and set it up with DeepSeek using Open Router.

2. Start with something simple like a personal dashboard or calculator.

3. Identify one problem you want to solve.

4. Use plain English to explain the solution to the AI.

5. Test, refine, and improve it.

6. Share it with others, if it solves a real problem, they’ll love it!

Why Starting Now Matters

The AI development space is still in its early stages. The tools are improving exponentially, and early adopters are positioned to gain huge advantages. Waiting means losing out while others build and scale their businesses.
