Clone Any App

Collection of reverse-engineer / rebuild walkthroughs. Paraphrased notes only — watch each original video for every prompt. Epic did not re-run these builds in this pass.

← Epic Hub Nick · T3 Code Jack · REA + OpenCode

TL;DR (under 30 seconds)

Two paths to take an app apart and learn by rebuilding: (1) Jack Roberts Short — wire REA into OpenCode, point at an app, get a testable rebuild. (2) Nick Vasilescu long form — use T3 Code as a software factory with REA, Paper MCP, Orgo, Composio and the xAI API to reverse-engineer Grok Bot and open-source a clone. T3 here means T3 Code (t3.codes), not the Next.js T3 stack.

What it is: Full on-screen build using T3 Code to reverse-engineer Grok Bot — backend, bots, and UI — then ship a working open-source clone.

Summary

Setup / usage instructions (paraphrase)

  1. Open T3 Code (t3.codes) as your agent developer environment / software factory. Use whatever model subscriptions you already have (Codex, Claude, Cursor, Grok, etc.).
  2. Attach machines — local Mac plus Orgo cloud boxes so T3 can load-balance work (GPU tasks to GPU boxes).
  3. Start REA (github.com/morluto/rea) against the target app. When asked what to reverse-engineer first, pick backend API, how bots run, interface, or all of the above.
  4. Design in Paper MCP (paper.design) — create a design project; have the agent test the live app UX with computer use, then recreate the UI in Paper.
  5. Architecture + build on Orgo from the REA map; embed Orgo computers in the product (see docs.orgo.ai guides for embedding).
  6. Auth + connectors with Composio (composio.dev); model/media building blocks from the xAI API; keep keys in vaults.
  7. Reference implementation: nickvasilescu/grokbot-clone. Description model note: Claude Opus 5.5 on high.

2) How to Setup REA in OpenCode

Name: How to Setup REA in OpenCode (Clone Any App Short)
Creator: Jack Roberts · Length: 34s · Uploaded: 2026-11-08

▶ Watch Short

What it is: Quick path — OpenCode + REA + a cheap model (DeepSeek Flash per description) to deconstruct an app and rebuild a testable version.
