Apps are custom software that lives inside Kazzle. Ask for a dashboard, website, personal tool, internal tool, workflow, backend service, or AI skill. The app lives in your space, has source code you can inspect, and can be previewed and published. Apps let you turn repeated tasks, messy workflows, and one-off ideas into real interfaces you can keep using:
  • A personal budget tracker
  • A dashboard for weekly sales
  • A support ticket review tool
  • A customer portal
  • A form for collecting structured input
  • A webhook receiver
  • A custom skill the AI can call in a thread

​
Creating an app

Two ways:
  • Ask the AI - describe what you want in a thread and the AI builds it
  • New app button - click + in the Drive sidebar and choose New app
You do not start with a blank project. The AI picks a starting template based on what you ask for: Landing pages are UI-only apps: no backend, no database. Describe the page and the AI builds it, publishes it, and gives you a live URL.

​
The build cycle

  1. The AI writes code directly on main
  2. The AI starts the dev server. You see a live preview.
  3. You iterate by chat: “move the chart to the sidebar”, “add a dark theme”
  4. The dev server hot-reloads after each edit
  5. When ready, publish

​
One app, one branch

Each app is a single git checkout on main. There are no separate drafts, no branch switching, no merge step. Every edit lands on main as a commit; publishing is just “deploy the current main”.

​
What an app can include

  • UI - pages, dashboards, forms, and tools people use
  • Process - backend services, APIs, scheduled jobs, and webhooks
  • Skill - a tool the AI can call from a thread
  • Database - created when the app needs persistent data
  • Secrets - credentials and API keys stored in Vault
Some apps are simple. Others have a backend, database, automations, and AI-callable skills. See App patterns for which shape fits which job.

​
Apps live in the same window

Apps sit next to your browser, files, code, terminals, and AI threads. You can use them, edit them, inspect their code, and publish them without leaving Kazzle.
