Start with AI

A guided AI onboarding flow that builds a custom app from your answers.

The Start with AI flow is a guided wizard that asks a few quick questions about your business and the problems you want to solve, then generates a tailored app for you to preview and customize.

Prefer a conversational approach? See Start with Mesh, where you describe what you need in your own words and Mesh scaffolds the app from the chat.

1. Name your app

Give your app a name to set the context. For a customer management system, something like "Company CRM" works well.

You can't rename a Rowmesh app after it's been created, but you can add a custom domain or clone it and rename the copy. Pick something unique and simple — we auto-suggest options for you.

2. Set the app context

A few quick questions help shape your app:

• Team or department. Who will use the app — sales, HR, operations?

• Industry. What kind of business is this — real estate, construction, healthcare?

• Company size. From solo operators to growing teams.

The more context you provide, the closer the generated app will be to what you need.

3. Define the problems to solve

Tell us what you want the app to do. You can:

• Pick from a curated list of common Rowmesh use cases — CRM, client management, HR, and more.

• Add your own custom requirements in plain language.

• Review the goals you've selected before continuing.

This is the input that shapes your app's structure, pages, and features.

4. Build and personalize

Once you confirm your choices, Rowmesh's AI builds the app behind the scenes. While it's working:

• Pick a color theme to match your brand.

• Wait for the AI to generate the pages, filters, and layouts based on your input.

5. Preview and test your app

Once generation is complete, you'll be dropped into a live preview with sample data. Things to try:

• Click a record (for example a client) to view or edit the details.

• Test out a feature you selected, like a task manager or event calendar.

• Open a record to see how editing works.

• Explore the different views and how they apply to your use case.

If something isn't right, you can go back and adjust your answers.

6. Enter Build Mode and customize

When you're ready, click through to Build Mode to start editing your app in the Rowmesh studio. You'll land on the Quickstart Guide, which walks through:

• Your app's core structure

• Key features and components

• How to customize pages, permissions, and data connections

From here, you can tailor the app to your exact workflows and team needs.

What's next

That's it — you've built your first Rowmesh app. Whether you're managing clients, tracking projects, or streamlining HR processes, Rowmesh gives you the tools to bring those workflows to life without writing code.

FAQs

Can I change my app settings after the AI creates it?

Yes. After your app is generated, enter Build Mode to fully customize everything — rename your app, adjust features, update layouts, connect data sources, and more.

Is the sample data in my app real?

No. The initial data is demo content so you can explore your app's structure and features. You can delete or replace it with your actual business data at any time.

What if the AI didn't build exactly what I need?

The AI gives you a strong starting point, but Rowmesh is completely flexible. You can tweak page layouts, create new views, change relationships, or add automations to match your workflows.

Can I connect external data sources like Airtable or Google Sheets later?

Yes. Even if you don't connect a data source during onboarding, you can integrate with Airtable, Google Sheets, Postgres, and more from the Rowmesh studio whenever you're ready.

Do I need any coding skills to use Rowmesh?

No. Rowmesh is a 100% no-code platform. Everything is built visually — whether you're setting up permissions, designing interfaces, or automating workflows.
