Build apps

Use AI to create apps and workflows

Write useful creation prompts, review results and understand the shared allowance.

What AI assistance covers

AI-assisted app creation, chat and workflow creation share the account AI allowance. AI editing of existing apps is not available. Use the supported manual editor controls to change an existing app. Workflow setup happens in Logic & Flow after creation; mentioning an automation in the initial brief does not mean it is enabled.

Write a clear brief

  1. Explain the purpose and who will use the app.
  2. List the records to store with non-confidential examples.
  3. Describe relationships explicitly, such as one Customer having many Jobs.
  4. Specify required fields, choice values, currency and access requirements.
  5. Ask for a small first version, then review and test the generated app.

Example creation brief

Create a task tracking app with a Tasks table. Each task needs a title, due date and required Priority choice with Low, Normal and High. Show Priority in the form and list. Explain any additional setup I must complete.

Review the result

Check generated fields, formulas, workflow recipients and permissions. AI output can be incomplete or mistaken. A suggestion is not proof that data was saved, a rule enabled or a connection authorised.

There is no general runtime AI writing action for generating arbitrary text while a saved workflow runs. AI-assisted workflow design and runtime AI processing are different capabilities.

Allowance and retries

Each AI attempt counts, including automatic retries; one request can use multiple attempts. Failed attempts can also consume allowance. Usage is shared across the account and resets at the start of each UTC calendar month.

AI exhaustion blocks further AI requests. It does not itself disable existing apps or supported manual editing; subscription, permissions and other limits still apply.

Give documentation to another AI

Open a guide as Markdown or download the complete text. These files describe the product; they do not grant account access or permission to act. Publishing them does not automatically connect them to the in-app assistant or guarantee external services have read the latest version.

Use the attached AI Easy Apps documentation as the product reference. Explain the steps for my task and cite the guide titles. Distinguish documented behaviour from assumptions. If a feature is not confirmed, say so. Do not invent menu items or claim an action was completed.
