FERASET, an AI consumer app studio based in Istanbul, shares how they built their entire mobile stack on Expo from day one. Their first app, Music AI, went from zero to live on both app stores in 4 weeks and reached #1 globally, surpassing Spotify in the charts. The post covers their decision to bet on Expo early, how they built and open-sourced expo-ai-kit (an Expo module for on-device AI inference using Apple Foundation Models and Google ML Kit), the challenges of hiring Expo engineers in Turkey, and why the managed workflow has continued to scale with their growing team and app portfolio.
