What are Custom Apps?
Custom apps let you create specialized AI assistants tailored to specific tasks. Apps can have:
- Custom instructions and personality
- Pre-configured tools and capabilities
- Built-in database for storing and managing data
With a built-in database, you can build sophisticated apps that remember information, track state, and manage collections of data.

Creating an App
The App Builder uses a conversational interface - just describe what you want and it builds the app for you.
How to Start
- Go to Apps in the sidebar
- Click Create App
- Describe what you want your app to do
The App Builder will set up everything based on your description.
Example
You: I want an app that tracks my reading list - books I want to read, books I'm reading, and books I've finished.
App Builder: I'll create a Reading List Tracker for you with a database to store your books...
The App Builder automatically:
- Creates the app with appropriate settings
- Sets up a database with collections for your data
- Configures the AI to help you manage your list
Built-in Database
The most powerful feature of custom apps is the built-in database. This allows your app to:
- Store structured data in collections
- Remember information across sessions
- Query and update data through natural conversation
Use Cases
- CRM: Track contacts, deals, and interactions
- Inventory: Manage products and stock levels
- Task Manager: Organize projects and todos
- Knowledge Base: Store and retrieve information
Using Your App
Once created, your app appears in My Apps:
- Click the app card to start a chat session
- Your app remembers its purpose and has access to its database
- Just chat naturally - the AI handles the database operations
Tips for Great Apps
- Be specific: Describe exactly what data your app should track
- Give examples: Show what kind of queries you'll make
- Define the workflow: Explain how you'll interact with the app
