00:00:29.220 --> 00:00:32.520 It's gonna come with real time, multiplayer support, 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.280 and offline out of the box. 00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:37.140 Why does this matter? 00:00:37.830 --> 00:00:42.270 It's 2026, we're using agents to write all of our code. 00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:46.920 The problem: If you're trying to build an app, it's probably gonna be slop. 00:00:47.490 --> 00:00:51.210 It's never been easier to build, but if you want to stand out, the 00:00:51.210 --> 00:00:53.700 quality bar is higher than ever. 00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:56.610 Just look at the best apps today. 00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.940 First, every interaction feels instant. 00:01:00.930 --> 00:01:04.200 People can work together and collaborate in real time. 00:01:04.860 --> 00:01:08.130 And even when you go offline, your app still works. 00:01:08.550 --> 00:01:13.290 Users expect this kind of experience, but how do you prompt your agents to build it? 00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:16.240 Without Instant, this is what you'd have to do: 00:01:16.955 --> 00:01:20.370 First, you ask your agent to add a database to store all your data. 00:01:21.030 --> 00:01:24.450 Next, you tell it to layer in web sockets, so everything is real time. 00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:28.640 If you want to support offline mode, you have to ask your agent to add IndexedDB. 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.580 And if you want to make it feel fast, you tell them to write optimistic updates 00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.229 and worry about optimistic queues. 00:01:35.130 --> 00:01:38.910 Your agents shouldn't need to write this for every app you build. 00:01:39.270 --> 00:01:42.150 And you shouldn't have to think about the details either, you 00:01:42.150 --> 00:01:44.190 should just be able to build. 00:01:44.910 --> 00:01:48.570 This should be infra, and that is what Instant is for. 00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:52.560 Instant abstracts all of this infra into one box. 00:01:53.370 --> 00:01:56.380 If you give your agents this box, it has everything it 00:01:56.380 --> 00:01:58.390 needs to build delightful apps. 00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:01.929 To give you a sense of what we mean, let's look at a simple to-do app. 00:02:03.009 --> 00:02:04.439 This app just uses a useState hook. 00:02:05.230 --> 00:02:08.320 So If you add a message and you refresh, all that data will be gone. 00:02:09.310 --> 00:02:11.650 Without a backend, your data won't be saved anywhere. 00:02:12.370 --> 00:02:13.150 Let's go ahead and add it. 00:02:13.510 --> 00:02:17.500 With Instant, you can just replace useState with useQuery and transact. 00:02:18.825 --> 00:02:21.135 Just with this, the app gets persistence. 00:02:22.005 --> 00:02:24.285 Refresh the page, and the data lives on. 00:02:25.695 --> 00:02:26.535 It's also real time. 00:02:27.375 --> 00:02:29.715 New to-dos show up instantly across clients. 00:02:30.975 --> 00:02:32.145 And, it works offline. 00:02:32.505 --> 00:02:35.805 You can turn off the internet, still keep using the app and everything 00:02:35.805 --> 00:02:36.984 will sync back once you're online. 00:02:38.165 --> 00:02:40.455 Your agents write simple code and make better apps. 00:02:41.625 --> 00:02:44.955 But that's not all, Instant comes with everything 00:02:44.955 --> 00:02:46.845 you need to build a real app. 00:02:47.385 --> 00:02:49.125 Want folks to be able to sign up? 00:02:49.365 --> 00:02:53.685 We have support from magic codes, guest login, and OAuth. 00:02:54.675 --> 00:02:56.115 Want to secure your data? 00:02:56.685 --> 00:03:01.155 You can use permission rules to define who can see what. 00:03:02.145 --> 00:03:04.035 Now, what about making our app feel more alive? 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.920 Well for that, you can use presence to add features like 00:03:07.950 --> 00:03:10.770 who's online and shared cursors. 00:03:11.910 --> 00:03:14.520 How about allowing our users to upload images? 00:03:14.910 --> 00:03:15.840 Forget S3. 00:03:16.380 --> 00:03:21.630 Instant comes with storage, and uploads are just rows in your database. 00:03:22.410 --> 00:03:25.020 Now what about adding AI to our apps? 00:03:25.290 --> 00:03:30.675 Well, for that we have streams that let you display tokens as fast as they arrive. 00:03:31.095 --> 00:03:35.445 And, streams work across refreshes and network drops too. 00:03:36.525 --> 00:03:41.145 Finally, Instant comes with CLI tools that let you create projects, 00:03:41.910 --> 00:03:46.500 modify schema, and use all of these services directly from the terminal. 00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:51.180 No need to click any dashboards, just build great apps. 00:03:52.110 --> 00:03:55.140 Alright, so what's gonna happen when your app explodes? 00:03:55.530 --> 00:03:57.630 And I mean in a good way: When it goes viral. 00:03:58.380 --> 00:04:00.930 Well, Instant is designed to scale with you. 00:04:01.630 --> 00:04:04.470 We already serve about 10,000 concurrent connections every second. 00:04:04.950 --> 00:04:07.860 And, startups trust us to run their core infrastructure. 00:04:08.595 --> 00:04:12.435 With Instant, you can get started right away and you'll know that you have the 00:04:12.435 --> 00:04:14.745 right foundations for when your app grows. 00:04:15.795 --> 00:04:19.334 And there's one more thing: With Instant, you can make unlimited apps for free 00:04:19.665 --> 00:04:21.105 and your projects are never paused. 00:04:21.704 --> 00:04:22.515 How is it possible? 00:04:22.965 --> 00:04:25.125 We built instant to be multi-tenant by default. 00:04:25.695 --> 00:04:29.055 Instead of spinning up a VM for every project, we use a logical abstraction. 00:04:29.595 --> 00:04:32.595 Creating a new database in Instant means just adding an extra row 00:04:32.595 --> 00:04:33.915 to our multi-tenant database. 00:04:34.515 --> 00:04:35.535 Have lots of great ideas? 00:04:35.865 --> 00:04:38.895 With Instant, you're never blocked from creating great apps. 00:04:38.969 --> 00:04:43.609 You can try us out by running npx create-instant-app in your terminal. 00:04:44.250 --> 00:04:45.930 Come on over and say hi on Discord. 00:04:46.200 --> 00:04:47.820 We're excited to see what you build.
