Update Your App With AI Prompts

Once your initial app is built, you don't need to start over to make changes. Smartoo Assistant allows you to refine your app through conversation, letting you add features, tweak designs, or change permissions instantly.

This guide explains what you can change and how to ask for it.

What you can edit through conversation

Structure and navigation

You can ask the Assistant to add new pages or reorganize how users move through your app.

• Add pages: "Create a new page called 'Client Portal' for external users."
• Rename items: "Rename the 'Jobs' tab to 'Projects'."
• Reorganize: "Move the 'Settings' page so only Admins can see it in the menu."

Views and reporting

If your data is already there but you need to see it differently, just describe the view you want.

• Filter data: "Create a view called 'Urgent Tasks' that only shows tasks due this week."
• Summarize: "Add a counter at the top of the dashboard showing the total number of open tickets."
• Visualize: "Add a pie chart showing tasks by status."

Database and data rules

You can expand your data structure at any time without breaking your existing app.

• Add details: "Add a 'Priority' dropdown field to the Tasks table."
• Create new tables: "I need to track 'Departments'. Create a new table for that."
• Link data: "Connect 'Employees' to 'Departments' so I can see who works where."

Permissions and access

Security rules can be complex to configure manually, but easy to describe in plain English.

• Define roles: "Create a 'Manager' role."
• Restrict access: "Ensure that only Admins can delete records. Everyone else can only view or edit."
• Privacy: "Make sure clients can only see their own projects, not anyone else's."

Workflow automations

You can add logic to automate manual processes.

• Status changes: "When a task is moved to 'Done', automatically set the completion date to today."
• Notifications: "Notify the project owner when a task is marked as 'Blocked'."
• Handoffs: "When a request is submitted, change the status to 'Review' and assign it to the manager."

Iterate as you go

You don't need to get everything right in the first build. If a workflow isn't working as expected or you forgot a specific field, just tell the Assistant. Treat the process like a conversation: give feedback, request tweaks, and refine the app step-by-step until it fits your workflow.
