Build and deploy custom web applications directly from Adapt. When you need a dashboard, tool, or interface, Adapt can create it and host it for you.

What Are Apps?

Apps are deployable web applications that Adapt creates during your conversations. When you ask Adapt to build something interactive, like a dashboard, calculator, or data viewer, it can package the result as an app you can access anytime. Example requests that create apps:
Build me a dashboard showing our monthly revenue trends
Create a calculator for estimating project costs
Make a tool to visualize our customer data

How It Works

1

Ask Adapt to build something

Describe what you need: a dashboard, tool, or interface
2

Adapt creates the app

Adapt writes the code, configures the build, and packages everything
3

Review and save

Preview the app before saving it to your Apps library
4

Launch anytime

Access your apps from the Apps page in the web interface

Creating Apps

When Adapt creates an app, it handles all the technical details:
  • Build configuration: Install dependencies and compile the code
  • Server setup: Configure how the app runs
  • Port mapping: Set up networking so you can access the app
You’ll see a confirmation before the app is saved:
✓ App created: Revenue Dashboard

Build command: npm install && npm run build
Entrypoint: npm start
Port: 3000

The app has been saved to your Apps library.
Launch it anytime from the Apps page.

Managing Apps

Apps Page

Access your apps at Apps in the sidebar. The Apps page shows all apps in your organization. Views:
  • Grid view: Visual cards with app previews
  • List view: Compact list for quick scanning
Organization:
  • Search: Find apps by name
  • Sort: Newest first or oldest first
  • Favorites: Star apps for quick access
  • Filter: Show all apps or just favorites

Launching Apps

Click on any app to open its details page, then click Launch to start it. The app runs in a secure container and opens in a new browser tab.
Apps may take a moment to start as they build and initialize. You’ll see a loading indicator while this happens.

Editing Apps

From the app details page, you can:
  • Rename: Change the app’s display name
  • View source: See the original conversation where the app was created

Deleting Apps

Remove apps you no longer need:
  1. Open the app details page
  2. Click the delete icon
  3. Confirm deletion
Deleted apps cannot be recovered. Make sure you no longer need an app before deleting it.

App Examples

Data Dashboard

Create a dashboard showing:
- Total revenue this month
- Top 10 customers by spend
- Revenue trend chart for the past 12 months
Adapt builds an interactive dashboard with charts and tables, then saves it as an app you can share with your team.

Custom Calculator

Build a pricing calculator that takes:
- Number of users
- Plan tier (starter, pro, enterprise)
- Annual vs monthly billing

And shows the total cost with any discounts applied.

Data Viewer

Make a tool to browse and filter our customer list.
I want to search by name, filter by status, and
export selections to CSV.

Security

Apps run in isolated containers with:
  • Sandboxed execution: Apps cannot access other parts of your system
  • Secure authentication: Only authenticated users in your organization can access apps
  • No persistent storage: App data is ephemeral and resets on restart
Apps that need access to your data sources (like databases or APIs) will include those integrations when configured during creation.

Best Practices

The more detail you provide, the better the app. Include what data to show, how to organize it, and any interactive features you need.
Always review the app preview to make sure it works as expected before saving it to your library.
Star your most-used apps to filter them quickly on the Apps page.
Periodically review and delete apps you no longer use to keep your library organized.
