Build a Pose Estimation App
with Claude & QuickPose

AI coding assistants like Claude can take you from idea to a working AI fitness app in hours — if the SDK underneath is well-documented and predictable. QuickPose is built exactly that way: a typed Swift API, open sample repos, and public docs that Claude can read and reason about.

Why This Combo Works

An SDK designed for humans reads well to AI too

AI assistants write their best code against APIs with clear types, public documentation and working examples. QuickPose gives Claude all three.

📚

Public, Crawlable Docs

Our documentation at docs.quickpose.ai is fully public — paste a link into your Claude conversation and it can read the exact API surface it's coding against.

🧩

Typed Swift API

Features like .fitness(.squats) and QuickPoseThresholdCounter are strongly typed — the compiler catches AI hallucinations before your users do.

📦

Working Sample Apps

Open-source demos on GitHub — push-up counter, squat counter, range of motion — give Claude real reference implementations to pattern-match against.

🔢

24 Pre-Built Exercises

Claude doesn't need to invent rep-counting logic — it wires up counters we've already built and tested in production.

📱

One SDK, No Backend

100% on-device processing means no server, no API keys to secure, no infrastructure for your AI assistant to misconfigure — the whole app fits in one Xcode project.

🚀

Fast Feedback Loop

Build, run on your iPhone, see the skeleton overlay live. Tight iteration loops are where AI-assisted development shines.

The Workflow

From prompt to working app

1

Get Your Free SDK Key

Sign up at dev.quickpose.ai — free for up to 10 monthly active devices, no card required.

2

Open Claude

Use Claude Code in your terminal for full-project work, or claude.ai for planning and snippets.

3

Paste the Starter Prompt

Our prompt below points Claude at the right docs and repos, and tells it exactly what to build.

4

Iterate & Ship

Run on your iPhone, refine with follow-up prompts, and submit to the App Store when it feels right.

Copy & Paste

The starter prompt

Paste this into Claude Code from an empty folder (or adapt it for your existing app). Pick your platform, swap in your own exercise and branding.

starter-prompt-ios.txt 
Build me a native iOS app in SwiftUI that counts squat reps in real time
using the QuickPose iOS SDK.

Context you should read first:
- SDK repo & README: https://github.com/quickpose/quickpose-ios-sdk
- Docs: https://docs.quickpose.ai/docs/MobileSDK
- Exercise library: https://docs.quickpose.ai/docs/MobileSDK/ExerciseLibrary

Requirements:
1. Integrate the QuickPose iOS SDK via Swift Package Manager.
2. Use the front camera with a full-body skeleton overlay.
3. Use the .fitness(.squats) feature with QuickPoseThresholdCounter
   to count reps, and show the live count in large text.
4. Add a start/stop button and a session summary screen
   (total reps, session duration).
5. Read my SDK key from a Config.plist entry named QUICKPOSE_SDK_KEY
   (I'll add the value myself — never hardcode it).
6. Include the camera-permission text in Info.plist.

My SDK key is registered for bundle ID: com.example.squatcounter
(change the project to use that bundle ID).

Follow the official sample apps' integration pattern rather than
inventing your own camera pipeline. When you're done, tell me exactly
how to run it on my iPhone from Xcode.
Tip 1 — Point Claude at a demo repo that's closest to your idea (push-up counter, squat counter, range of motion) and say "follow this pattern".
Tip 2 — Changing exercises is a one-line prompt: "switch the counter to jumping jacks" maps to .fitness(.jumpingJacks) — see all 24 in the Exercise Library.
Tip 3 — Keep your SDK key out of the chat. Let Claude read it from configuration, and add the value yourself.

FAQ

AI-assisted building, answered

Do I need iOS experience to build with Claude and QuickPose?⌄
Less than you'd think, but some helps. Claude handles the Swift code and project setup; you need Xcode installed, an iPhone to test on, and enough context to describe what you want and judge whether it works. Non-developers with patience have shipped working prototypes this way — and if you'd rather skip the learning curve entirely, our team builds white-label apps from $5,000.
Which Claude should I use — claude.ai or Claude Code?⌄
Claude Code (the terminal-based coding agent) is best for building whole apps: it creates files, runs builds and fixes its own errors. The claude.ai chat interface works well for planning your app, generating individual views, or debugging a specific error message.
Why do AI assistants work well with QuickPose specifically?⌄
Three reasons: the docs are public so Claude can read the real API instead of guessing; the API is strongly typed so hallucinated method names fail at compile time rather than runtime; and the open-source sample apps give Claude proven integration patterns to follow. AI assistants are only as good as the ground truth you give them.
Can Claude build Android or React Native apps with QuickPose too?⌄
Yes — the same approach works with our Android SDK (Kotlin) and the React Native example repo. Point Claude at the matching repo and docs, and adapt the starter prompt's requirements to your platform.
What does it cost?⌄
QuickPose is free for up to 10 monthly active devices — plenty for building and testing. Paid plans start at $25/month as your app grows. Claude's pricing is separate and set by Anthropic. Our ROI calculator shows how the numbers work at scale.
What if my prototype outgrows AI-assisted development?⌄
That's a good problem — it means users like it. When you need custom exercises, clinical-grade accuracy or a production hardening pass, our services team takes over where the prototype stops: SDK integration reviews, custom AI models, and full app development.
