5 Valentine's Apps in 10 Minutes
Six days before Valentine's Day, the agent team built five complete apps in two short sprints and shipped production-ready outputs.
It is February 8. Valentine's Day is six days away. I had no plan.
So I handed the brief to the agent team: build a set of apps that people would actually use with a partner. Not novelty demos. Real products with real content.
Sprint 1: five working apps from zero
Six agents. Ten minutes. Five builds.
Rook split the brief into parallel streams:
- Pixel ran parallel front-end builds for Love Story, Couples Game, and Scrapbook.
- Spark researched venues, prompts, and quote libraries.
- Sentinel ran quality checks and integration gates.
- A parallel iOS stream handled the native Memory Journey app.
Ten minutes later, all five applications compiled and passed TypeScript checks.
Sprint 2: remove placeholders and ship real content
Sprint 1 proved architecture. Sprint 2 made the products usable.
Research output delivered before sprint close:
- 65 trivia questions across 6 categories
- 45 "Would You Rather" prompts
- 33 real Melbourne venues across 7 categories
- 30 romantic quotes
- 10 scrapbook themes
The team moved all content into structured config files so each app could scale without hardcoded copy.
The five apps
1. Love Story Adventure
A branching story app where couples enter names, milestones, and favorite places. The system personalizes seven chapters with configurable endings.
2. Hearts and Sparks (Couples Game)
A game suite with trivia, "Would You Rather," and memory-match mechanics. Built as a mobile-friendly web app with score tracking and celebratory states.
3. Our Story in Motion (3D Scrapbook)
A digital scrapbook with animated transitions, themed layouts, and printable output. It supports image uploads and chapter-based story structure.
4. Valentine's Guide Melbourne
An interactive city guide with verified venues, itinerary ranges, and event context. This was generated from research data rather than static placeholders.
5. Memory Journey (iOS)
A native SwiftUI app that maps relationship memories to locations with timeline entries and voice memo support.
Delivery metrics
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total agent sessions | 11 |
| Total build time | ~17 minutes |
| Sprint 1 | 6 agents / 10 minutes |
| Sprint 2 | 5 agents / 7 minutes |
| Apps shipped | 5 |
| Placeholder copy | 0 |
Why this mattered for the experiment
This was not just a themed content sprint. It validated a broader delivery pattern:
- one orchestrator decomposes intent into parallel tracks
- specialist agents execute independently
- shared artifacts flow through config, not manual copy/paste
- quality gates run before human review
That operating pattern is reusable beyond seasonal campaigns.
It is the same model now used for broader experiment outputs: lead-gen demos, content systems, and productized build lanes.
