A Guide to AI-Powered App Development for Corteza
Welcome to the future of app development with Aire, an AI-powered app builder that’s transforming the way we create and deploy customized applications on the Corteza platform. Imagine being able to build powerful, fully-featured apps with just a few clicks and minimal coding – Aire makes that possible, providing a user-friendly, intuitive experience that streamlines the entire process. This guide will walk you through every step of app creation in Aire, from building a prompt to deploying your finished product, showcasing the remarkable ease and efficiency of this groundbreaking tool.
1. Crafting the Perfect Prompt: The Foundation of Your App
Everything begins with a well-crafted prompt! Aire’s Prompt-Builder tool is like a personal guide, helping you outline exactly what your app should do. Start with the essentials by specifying the type of organization your app will manage. Then, take advantage of optional fields to fine-tune your app’s personality and purpose:
- Operating Field – What sector or industry does your organization work in?
- Activity Type – What activities will your app manage?
- Record Types – Specify the kinds of records your app should handle.
- Location – Define if the app needs a regional context for compliance.
- App Type – Does your app need a specific structural style?
These prompts aren’t just details; they are the key to creating an app that feels truly tailored to your needs. Aire takes your input, builds a unique prompt, and allows you to preview it before diving into the app-building process.
2. Choosing Your Adventure: Wizard or Core Builder?
Once your prompt is locked in, you’re ready to build! Aire offers two flexible pathways for app creation: the Wizard and the Core Builder. Both options allow you to start with the same prompt, but the Wizard provides a guided journey through each step. For those who prefer a bit more structure, the Wizard is an excellent choice, so we’ll start there.
3. Creating Modules: The Building Blocks of Your App
Modules are like the pillars of your app, defining the types of records it will manage. With just a few clicks, Aire can suggest modules based on your prompt. Choose the quantity, let Aire work its magic, and watch as it builds the skeleton of your app. And because Aire is all about flexibility, you can add, adjust, or delete modules to suit your organization’s needs perfectly.
4. Defining Fields for Each Module: Capturing the Right Data
Now that you have your modules, it’s time to dive into the details by creating fields. These fields define the exact data you want to capture. Select a scope for each module, and Aire will automatically generate a set of fields, complete with configurations and field types. You can edit these fields, add new ones, or even let Aire suggest additional fields to fine-tune your data capture process. Every detail you add makes your app smarter and more responsive to your organization’s needs.
5. Building Connections: Establishing Relationships Between Fields
A robust app isn’t just about isolated data – it’s about meaningful connections. With Aire, you can define relationships between fields across modules, linking related data points to create a cohesive structure. Aire even provides suggestions along with rationale, helping you see the logic behind each connection. Of course, you have full control to adjust or delete any relationship as you see fit, ensuring your app’s data flows just the way you want.
6. Designing the Perfect User Interface: Choosing Your UI Pages
With the app’s data structure in place, it’s time to design the user interface. Aire offers a range of page types to help your users interact seamlessly with the app’s data:
- Home Page – A welcoming entry point for users.
- Dashboard Page – Displays insights, summaries, and key data points.
- Record List Pages – Organizes and lists records for easy browsing.
- Record Pages – Enables viewing and editing individual records.
These UI pages make your app not just functional but enjoyable for users. Once the pages are generated, you can view how everything will look in Corteza, creating a unified experience from start to finish.
7. Previewing Your App in Corteza: The Final Test Run
Ready for the final reveal? With Preview App, you can open a Corteza preview instance and experience the app just as users will. This feature lets you inspect records, edit data, configure list columns, filter lists, add records, and even import or export data. Need more adjustments? No problem – access the Admin Panel and Page Builder to customize the app further, giving you a sneak peek into its functionality before going live.
8. Fine-Tuning in the Core Builder: The Ultimate Customization
If you need additional tweaks, Aire’s Core Builder provides a holistic view for all the customization options the Wizard offers and more. This view allows you to see how everything fits together, so you can fine-tune the app’s modules, fields, and relationships in one cohesive workspace.
9. Deployment: Sharing Your Creation with the World
Once you’re fully satisfied with your app, it’s time to deploy. With just a click, your app can be launched on either a shared instance of Corteza or your dedicated instance, allowing your organization to start reaping the benefits of a custom-built application in no time.
