AI app generation
Generation is iterative: the assistant plans structural changes, applies precise edits to your source files, validates syntax, and suggests next steps—so you steer the product without hand-merging diffs.
How a generation turn works
Behind the scenes the platform runs a pipeline similar to plan → locate files → patch → validate → verify. Outputs are applied as search-and-replace or scoped file updates rather than replacing the whole repo blindly.
- Declarative payloads can also create or update record types, sample records, workflows, translations, and i18n config alongside code.
- Streaming status updates keep the UI informed during long runs.
- If validation fails, you get actionable errors without silently broken bundles.
Chat-first workflow
Treat the assistant as a pair programmer: give goals, constraints, and examples. Follow up with smaller requests after each successful apply—this conserves credits and reduces risk compared to one giant prompt.
What the AI can generate
Besides UI, the assistant can scaffold backend-facing configuration that the platform understands: CRUD-oriented record types, workflow graphs, translation dictionaries, and analytics-friendly structure.
Quality and recovery
If a turn does not successfully apply edits, billing may be reduced (see credit policy). Use source version history to roll back to a known-good snapshot, then retry with a narrower instruction.
