Why build this Expo Router solved a lot of app structure complexity, but configuration still slows teams down. You still need to correctly wire permissions, splash colors, orientation, and platform-specific fields. Expo Architect compresses that setup loop into one flow: describe what you want in plain English, generate a valid Expo app.json grounded by Expo docs, preview it instantly, send it to your inbox. The strategic idea is simple: if docs are already LLM-readable, developer experience can become conversational.
