AICodeKing connects the open-source Qwen Audio Agent to Claude Code so he can keep a voice conversation going, interrupt answers and change requirements while a VoiceDesk app is built in the background.
Rebuild any paid app for free with Reverse Engineer Anything
Igor from The AI Advantage points ChatGPT (or Codex/Claude) at the open-source Reverse Engineer Anything repo, inside a project with folder access, and asks it to make a version of an app he paid for. He recreated Screen Brush as AIA Ink and a Slido clone.

Use this repo: <paste the Reverse Engineer Anything GitHub URL>. Make me a version of <app name> that runs on my computer. Save the files in this project's folder and install it. Then I'll ask for adjustments, like a transparent background.
Visual breakdown
Point a desktop AI app that can create files at the open-source Reverse Engineer Anything repo, name an app you use, and it works backwards from the finished product to build your own free, customizable version. Igor rebuilt Screen Brush in about 2 minutes of work.
The problem: Paid apps cost a subscription and come with features you don't need, and building a copy by hand takes hours of feature-by-feature work.

Do it yourself
Works in ChatGPT desktop; Codex works even better, and the Claude desktop app or Claude Code work too.
- Copy the Reverse Engineer Anything GitHub link from the video description
- Open the desktop AI app and create a new project
- Give the project access to a new folder on your computer
- Start a new chat in the project and paste the repo URL
- Prompt: make me, then the app's name, plus a sentence of functionality
- Send more messages to adjust it
He also rebuilt Slido, and mentions someone who copied Adobe apps as Artcraft.
Tips from the video
- Run the chat inside the project that has folder access
- Use one of the higher model settings
- Beginners should choose 'approve for me' to stay in control
- You can strip features you don't need, and add ones like a transparent background
