Replay AI: Converting a complex Fintech app from Video to React in 2026

TL;DR: Replay AI revolutionizes Fintech app development by converting complex video recordings into fully functional React code, drastically reducing development time and increasing accuracy.

Replay AI: Converting a Complex Fintech App from Video to React in 2026#

The year is 2026. Fintech app development cycles are brutally competitive. Months of design, coding, and testing are compressed into weeks. Traditional screenshot-to-code tools struggle to capture the nuances of user flows and dynamic data interactions. They're great for static components, but fall flat when dealing with complex financial transactions and multi-page applications. That's where Replay AI comes in.

Replay takes a fundamentally different approach: behavior-driven reconstruction. Instead of relying on static images, Replay analyzes video recordings of user interactions, leveraging Gemini to understand user intent and reconstruct working UI. This approach unlocks unparalleled accuracy and efficiency, especially for complex applications like Fintech platforms.

The Problem: Fintech Apps are Complex#

Fintech apps are inherently complex, involving:

• •Dynamic data: Real-time stock prices, transaction histories, and user account details.
• •Complex user flows: Multi-step processes like onboarding, fund transfers, and investment management.
• •Strict security requirements: Sensitive financial data demands robust security measures.

Traditional code generation tools often fail to capture these complexities, leading to inaccurate and incomplete code. Developers end up spending more time fixing the generated code than writing it from scratch.

The Solution: Behavior-Driven Reconstruction with Replay#

Replay analyzes video recordings of user interactions, understanding the "why" behind each action. By focusing on behavior, Replay accurately reconstructs complex UI elements, dynamic data interactions, and multi-page flows.

Converting a Fintech App: A Step-by-Step Guide#

Let's walk through converting a complex Fintech app flow – a multi-step fund transfer – from video to React code using Replay.

Step 1: Recording the User Flow#

The first step is to record a video of the user performing the desired action. In this case, a user initiates a fund transfer within the Fintech app. The video should clearly capture all interactions, including:

• •Navigation between pages.
• •Data input (amount, recipient, etc.).
• •Confirmation steps.
• •Error handling (if any).

💡 Pro Tip: Ensure the video is high quality and free of distractions for optimal analysis.

Step 2: Uploading the Video to Replay#

Once the video is recorded, upload it to the Replay platform. Replay's AI engine automatically analyzes the video, identifying UI elements, user interactions, and data flow.

Step 3: Configuring the Project#

Configure your Replay project, specifying:

• •Target framework: React.
• •Styling options: CSS-in-JS (e.g., Styled Components, Emotion) or traditional CSS.
• •Data integration: Supabase (for real-time data).

Step 4: Generating the Code#

Replay generates clean, functional React code based on the video analysis. This includes:

• •React components for each UI element.
• •Event handlers for user interactions.
• •Data fetching logic using Supabase.
• •Styling based on the selected options.

Here's an example of generated React code for a fund transfer confirmation component:

typescript
// Generated by Replay AI
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import styled from 'styled-components';
import { supabase } from './supabaseClient';

const ConfirmationContainer = styled.div`
  padding: 20px;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-radius: 5px;
`;

const ConfirmationText = styled.p`
  font-size: 16px;
`;

const ConfirmButton = styled.button`
  background-color: #4CAF50;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
  cursor: pointer;
`;

interface ConfirmationProps {
  amount: number;
  recipient: string;
  onConfirm: () => void;
}

const FundTransferConfirmation: React.FC<ConfirmationProps> = ({ amount, recipient, onConfirm }) => {
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    // Simulate data fetching or any necessary setup
    setLoading(true);
    setTimeout(() => {
      setLoading(false);
    }, 500); // Adjust timing as needed
  }, []);

  const handleConfirm = async () => {
    setLoading(true);
    try {
      // Simulate a database update
      const { data, error } = await supabase
        .from('transactions')
        .insert([{ amount, recipient }]);

      if (error) {
        console.error('Error inserting transaction:', error);
        // Handle error appropriately, e.g., show an error message
      } else {
        console.log('Transaction inserted:', data);
        onConfirm(); // Notify parent component that confirmation is done
      }
    } finally {
      setLoading(false);
    }
  };

  return (
    <ConfirmationContainer>
      <ConfirmationText>
        Confirm transfer of ${amount} to {recipient}?
      </ConfirmationText>
      <ConfirmButton onClick={handleConfirm} disabled={loading}>
        {loading ? 'Confirming...' : 'Confirm'}
      </ConfirmButton>
    </ConfirmationContainer>
  );
};

export default FundTransferConfirmation;

📝 Note: This code snippet demonstrates a simplified confirmation component. Replay automatically generates more complex components with data validation, error handling, and UI interactions based on the video analysis.

Step 5: Integrating with Supabase#

Replay seamlessly integrates with Supabase, allowing you to connect your generated code to a real-time database. This enables dynamic data updates and persistent storage of transaction information. Replay automatically generates the necessary Supabase queries and data models based on the video analysis.

typescript
// Example Supabase integration (generated by Replay)
const transferFunds = async (amount: number, recipient: string) => {
  const { data, error } = await supabase
    .from('transactions')
    .insert([{ amount, recipient }]);

  if (error) {
    console.error('Error transferring funds:', error);
    throw new Error('Failed to transfer funds');
  }

  return data;
};

Key Benefits of Using Replay for Fintech App Development#

• •Faster Development Cycles: Replay significantly reduces development time by automating code generation.
• •Improved Accuracy: Behavior-driven reconstruction ensures accurate representation of user flows and data interactions.
• •Reduced Errors: Automated code generation minimizes human error, leading to more stable and reliable applications.
• •Enhanced Collaboration: Replay facilitates collaboration between designers and developers by providing a shared understanding of user behavior.
• •Cost Savings: Reduced development time and improved accuracy translate to significant cost savings.

⚠️ Warning: While Replay automates a significant portion of the development process, it's essential to review and test the generated code to ensure it meets your specific requirements and security standards.

Replay's Edge: Understanding User Intent#

Unlike screenshot-to-code tools that merely replicate visual elements, Replay understands what users are trying to achieve. This allows Replay to generate code that accurately reflects the intended functionality, even in complex scenarios.

For example, if a user enters an invalid value in a form field, Replay can generate code that includes appropriate validation and error handling. This level of intelligence is crucial for building robust and user-friendly Fintech applications.

The Future of Fintech App Development#

Replay AI is transforming Fintech app development by enabling developers to build complex applications faster, more accurately, and more efficiently. By leveraging behavior-driven reconstruction, Replay unlocks a new level of automation and intelligence, empowering developers to focus on innovation and user experience.
