Lego Spike Prime Extension

Is there a way to use MIT app inventor to control LEGO spike prime? Because I want to use AI in that project.
For more context I am making an AI robot. If there are any alternatives, kindly suggest.

Spike Prime is programmed with python Perhaps you can use the python api?
or program your app in python.

See

github.com

GO-Robot-FLL/Python-for-Spike-Prime/blob/main/FurtherDocumentation.py

"""
SPIKE Prime Python Classes
"""
class App:
    def __init__(self):
        pass
    def play_sound(self, name, volume=100):
        """
        Plays a sound from the device (tablet or computer).
        
        The program will not continue until the sound has finished playing.
        
        If no sound is found with the given name is found, nothing will happen.
        
        Parameters
        -------------
        name : The name of the sound to play.
        
        Type : string (text)

There presently doesn't appear to be a way to use App Inventor to control your SPIKE Prime robot. You have to

step away from App Inventor and use python instead
build an AI extension to interface
ask your question on a LEGO forum or contact someone at LEGO if they intend to make SPIKE Prime App Inventor friendly.

Someone else might provide more encouraging advice.

Thanks, are there any other robots that I can fully control with App Inventor?
