Updated this week

Sometimes the answer you need isn’t just text—it’s an interactive experience. Cove will now create personalized apps just in time, just for you.

How to Create AI Apps

To create an AI App, either use chat or

  • Drag an App card onto the canvas

  • Describe the app you would like

  • Click Generate App

You can ask Cove to use other information in the workspace when creating an app. For example apps can create visualizations using data from other cards.

Cove will automatically suggest apps to build based on what you’re working on. When you see an app suggestion, click Generate App and Cove will create the app.

Tip: Before clicking Generate, you can customize the app by simply editing the app description

How to Customize AI Apps

To customize apps or add new features, simply select the app and chat. Cove will update the app with any changes.

Cove will also suggest new features to add to your apps. Simply click a suggestion and the app will automatically update.

If you are not happy with a change you have made to an app, try selecting Undo

Using AI Apps

Publishing AI Apps

The Cove Gallery is where users can publish their apps for others to discover, use, and remix.

To publish your app

App Limitations

Cove may sometimes run into an error when trying to code the app. Select Fix Error and Cove will retry building the app.

Current app limitations include:

  • You can’t export an app. App code will only work properly inside of Cove

  • Apps can't create generative art

  • Apps can't use some services that require API keys

  • Apps can't make changes to the workspace (ex: an app can’t create new cards)
