App Cloud basics
What is an app builder?
An app builder helps you create software by describing, arranging, or coding its interface and behavior. It turns an intended experience into something you can test.
How it works.
An app builder may use prompts, visual controls, code, or a combination. Its job is to help shape screens, data and actions. The resulting application still needs a way to run, manage access and keep information. Those continuing needs are part of the wider App Cloud concept.
Start with one useful task: a visitor books a time, a customer finds a document, or a person updates a record. Describe the task and try the result. A convincing first screen is a useful beginning; the next step is checking what happens when someone actually uses it.
- Describe the audience and task before choosing screens.
- Test behavior with realistic examples.
- Plan for data, access and changes after publishing.
What this looks like.
- A tutor creates a lesson library with progress records.
- A shop owner creates an inventory view for daily updates.
- A developer prototypes a customer account area before connecting real records.
The pieces that matter.
Interface
The screens and controls people interact with, including empty, loading and error states.
Behavior
What actions do, which information they change, and how the app responds when something fails.
Operation
Where the app runs, who can use it and how its records are maintained.
Before you begin.
A preview is only one test
Try a complete task, including validation and a failed request, before sharing the app.
Creation and operation are connected
An app that saves records needs persistent storage and permission checks after the initial build.
In your App Cloud.
Exepad brings AI-assisted creation into Your App Cloud. Describe a useful app, review it, and choose the models and services that support its work over time.
Explore the capabilities or find an app or agent to create. Plan allowances and usage are explained on Pricing.
A few useful distinctions.
Do I have to use a visual editor?
No. App builders offer different interfaces, including conversations and code. Choose a way of working that lets you describe and check the behavior you need.
How does an app builder relate to an agent?
A coding agent can help create an app. An agent inside that app performs tasks for its users. These are separate roles, even when both use language models.
