An app is one AI solution for one purpose, such as an HR assistant or a contract reviewer. Each app gets its own repository, its own address, its own people and its own agent, and is kept apart from every other app.

Who can create apps

Administrators can always create apps. Anyone else needs to be allowed under Who can create apps on the control panel's People page.

Open the dialog

Choose Create an app on the home page or on the Apps page.

Name it and say what it should do

Name becomes the app's address. The dialog shows it as you type, for example https://meeting-notes.ai.yourcompany.com. The address cannot be changed later, so choose the name with care.

What should it do? is one or two plain sentences. It is also what the app's agent starts out knowing about its job.
