Apps
Apps are web applications your AI teammate builds for work that needs more than a document or message. Use them for CRMs, trackers, dashboards, intake tools, review queues, project boards, and internal workflows.
Each app has its own database. You and your teammates can edit an app from any thread in the AI teammate, and tasks can refresh its data on a schedule — just like documents.
Use apps for
Section titled “Use apps for”- Trackers, CRMs, pipeline views, and account workspaces.
- Dashboards refreshed with recurring data on a schedule.
- Internal tools for review queues, intake, approvals, or handoffs.
- Structured workflows where people need to add, edit, filter, or share records.
Build with an AI teammate
Section titled “Build with an AI teammate”Describe the job the app should do, the data it should track, and who needs to use it. The teammate can build the first version, show a live preview, and revise it from your feedback.
Keep app requests specific. Name the fields, actions, views, and permissions that matter. If the app’s data should stay current, set up a task to refresh it on a schedule.
Data and tasks
Section titled “Data and tasks”Each app stores its own records in its own database. Apps don’t connect to integrations directly — you keep an app current the same way you keep a document current, with tasks.
A scheduled task can have a teammate update an app for you on a recurring basis. For example, a task can:
- Refresh a dashboard with the latest numbers on a daily or weekly schedule.
- Update records from data the teammate gathers during a recurring sweep.
- Reconcile app data against a source the teammate can read.
Put the recurring logic in the task, and keep the app focused on storing and presenting its data.
Share and use apps
Section titled “Share and use apps”Every app is a link. Share it with channel members by default, or make it available to anyone with the link when the channel and app settings allow it.
Anyone with access can open the app and work with its data. Public links can be useful for lightweight external collaboration, but review the app’s data and access setting before sharing outside your team.
