Crypto Banter founder and CNBC host Ran Neuner stunned his audience when he built and launched a working Crypto Banter Bubbles clone app live on air — all within minutes and at no cost. The entire build was done using Caffeine AI, a development platform that runs on the Internet Computer (ICP).
Known for his sharp market commentary and spontaneous energy, Neuner decided to test Caffeine AI’s claims in real time. The platform lets users create fully on-chain applications by typing natural language prompts, removing the need for traditional coding or external hosting. During his live stream, Neuner described what he wanted — a bubbles-style crypto visualiser — and watched as Caffeine AI generated and deployed it directly on ICP.
The result was instant. Viewers saw the app go live, complete with a functioning interface that mirrored the original Banter Bubbles concept Neuner’s team had built in the past through more conventional web tools. The process was fast enough to unfold entirely within the broadcast, and the chat was filled with surprised reactions as the project came to life.
For a broadcaster who has spent years covering blockchain innovation, this moment was less about hype and more about proof. It demonstrated that the Internet Computer’s architecture can host full applications — front and back — entirely on-chain. Caffeine AI acted as the creative layer that turned an idea into working code without writing a single line manually.
Caffeine AI has been drawing growing attention from developers and creators across the Web3 ecosystem. Its appeal lies in how it combines simplicity with true decentralisation: users describe what they want, and the platform builds and deploys it to ICP, with no need for separate hosting or third-party APIs. The process not only saves time but also gives users ownership of fully on-chain assets from the start.
Neuner’s experiment on Crypto Banter was one of the first public tests of Caffeine AI by a mainstream crypto media figure. His demonstration showed that blockchain-powered AI tools are moving beyond concept and into everyday use — tools that anyone can access without technical training. For a community built around live commentary and market education, the ability to generate apps live on stream opens up new ways to engage viewers and explore blockchain ideas interactively.
The project also highlighted the advantages of building on ICP, whose low operational costs and integrated hosting make it possible to deploy applications directly to the chain without relying on external infrastructure. This efficiency has made ICP a growing hub for experimental projects that merge content creation, AI, and decentralised tech.
Towards the end of his live stream, Neuner shared the result of the experiment — a fully functional Banter Bubbles clone running on-chain. You can watch the clip here: https://x.com/n0juice_/status/1985733033681698969.
The moment has since circulated widely across crypto social channels, sparking renewed conversation about what AI-assisted development could mean for builders, media, and open-source communities. It also reinforced how Web3 projects are moving toward tools that make decentralisation visible and usable in real time.
What began as an impromptu test became a clear example of how accessible building has become. For Neuner and his audience, it was less about what’s coming next and more about what can already be done — live, open, and on-chain.
