How to Create Apps Using AI App Builder

June 23, 2026

Jotform makes it easy to create apps that help streamline workflows, share information, collect data, and support everyday tasks. With Jotform’s AI App Builder, you can turn simple prompts into ready-to-customize apps, allowing you to generate layouts, features, and content that align with your goals in just a few moments.

Whether you’re building an app for your business, organization, team, or community, AI App Builder helps speed up the creation process and gives you a solid starting point to work from. Instead of starting with a blank canvas, you can focus on refining and personalizing your app to create an experience that meets your needs.

Creating an AI-Generated App From Your Workspace Page

Turn your idea into an app by describing what you want with AI App Builder. Follow these quick steps to get started:

  1. On the top-left side of your Workspace page, click on Create.
Create button on Jotform Workspace page
  1. Then, in the window that opens up, click on App.
Select App option in Create Asset menu on Jotform Workspace page
  1. Now, in the Prompt box in the middle of the page, enter a description of the app you want to create, or click on one of the buttons below it for a predefined one.
  2. Once you’re done, click on Send or press the Enter key on your keyboard.

Note

If you’d rather use voice for your prompts, just click on Talk on the right side of the Prompt box, then allow permission for your browser to access your device’s microphone. You’ll find more info in our guide on How to Build and Edit Your App Using Voice Commands with AI App Builder.

That’s it. This creates an app based on what you wrote and starts generating it on the AI Creation page, where you can see its preview and track its progress.
