What to expect from an AI-generated app?
Depending on the app type, your generated app can include the following:
- Generated data in Google Sheets (you can connect your own data in Google Sheets or Airtable)
- Multiple Pages and Blocks
- Sample Users and User Groups
- Sign-in page
How to Customize an AI-generated App
Step 1: Set up your data
AI-generated apps already have generated data in Google Sheets connected to the app. You need to copy the database to your Google account to make it your own and customize it as you wish.
If you want to connect your existing data, you can do that once the template data is copied.
Step 2: Edit your app
The Studio is your workspace where you design and build your app. In the left toolbar, you can access Pages. Create new ones or edit existing pages to your liking.
Each page contains Blocks; you can customize the style and function of existing ones or add new blocks.
Step 3: Update Users and User groups
Generated apps can come with generated user roles. You can update them in the Users setting and customize User Groups & Permissions
Step 4: Review app settings
Before publishing your app, review the app Settings to define custom domains, integrations, SEO, and others
Step 5: Preview & Publish
In the upper right corner, you have the Preview button, which can be used to preview your app at any moment, and the Publish button when it’s time to go live! Click the Publish button on the top right corner. After publishing, you can always make changes in your app and publish your changes the same way.
