A Chinese consumer AI app, Lingguang (灵光App), says 4M self reported non coders used its no code "Flash App" builder to make tarot readers, dream interpreters, and pop idol simulators — not work tools.
Lingguang (灵光App), a Chinese consumer AI app, says 4 million non-coders used its no-code "Flash App" builder. The most popular thing they made was an "Idol Simulator" that logged 13.35 million interactions. Productivity software was almost nowhere on the list.
The platform's announcement, written up by Chinese tech outlet Leiphone on August 3, reports both the figure and the skew. Flash Apps let users type or speak a prompt and get a shareable, interactive mini-app. The platform reports that most of its 4 million creators have no programming background; they include students, teachers, a therapist, and a "game enthusiast."
The platform's own list of breakout categories: tarot readings, AI dream interpretation, "what should I eat," pop-idol养成 simulators, and emotional check-ins built by a therapist. A college student's "Idol Simulator" alone pulled 13.35 million interactions. 站长之家 and 网易 carried the same announcement.
The platform also added a world-model capability (LingBot-World 2.0) that runs at 720P/30fps+ on phones with sub-100ms latency, per IT之家的 independent report.
The 4 million creator figure is platform-reported, not independently audited, and Leiphone sits in 灵光App's usual coverage lane. The 13.35 million Idol Simulator interactions come from the same source. The vendor calls this an "AI-native creator ecosystem"; that is press-release language. Wire coverage will lead with the creator count. The more useful number is what those 4 million people actually built, and what they didn't.
