"When Chinese tech giant Ant Group released its new AI coding assistant tool last Tuesday, it didn't expect the app to break under its own popularity. LingGuang, an AI app for vibe coding and building apps using plain-language prompts, reached over 1 million downloads in four days. By Monday, the app had crossed 2 million downloads, the company said in a press release. On Monday, LingGuang ranked first on Apple's mainland China App Store for free utilities apps and sixth overall for free apps. Ant Group, an affiliate company of the Chinese conglomerate Alibaba Group, said on Thursday - three days after LingGuang's debut - that the app's system buckled under heavy traffic."
"LingGuang's viral feature, its flash program tool, temporarily crashed after excessive usage and was soon restored. The flash program function allows users to create personalized, interactive apps using natural language prompts in 30 seconds. The company said that users have created apps like kid activity generators and car cost savings calculators."
LingGuang, Ant Group's AI coding assistant for vibe coding and app building via plain-language prompts, reached over 1 million downloads in four days and crossed 2 million by the following Monday. The app briefly buckled under heavy traffic when its flash program feature crashed from excessive usage before being restored. The flash program generates personalized interactive apps from natural-language prompts in about 30 seconds; users created tools such as kid activity generators and car cost-savings calculators. LingGuang also offers multimodal capabilities including 3D models, interactive charts, animations, and illustrations, and topped Apple's mainland China App Store free utilities chart.
