Build a modern AI chatbot app for Apple platforms using Swift, SwiftUI, SwiftData, and Apple Foundation Models. In this course, you’ll learn how to design and build a polished chat experience from the ground up, combining a clean user interface with intelligent conversational behavior and persistent data storage.
We’ll start with the essentials of setting up the project and structuring the app for maintainability. Then you’ll create the chat interface in SwiftUI, focusing on smooth interactions, message presentation, input handling, and a user-friendly experience. Next, you’ll integrate Apple Foundation Models to power natural language responses and build a chatbot that feels responsive and useful.
You’ll also learn how to use SwiftData to store chat history and manage conversations across app sessions. This will help you build a more complete product, with support for saved messages, ongoing threads, and a better overall user experience. Along the way, you’ll practice organizing your code, handling app state, and connecting the UI to your data model.
