# About the AI App Builder
<blockquote class="caution">

__Alpha:__
The AI app builder is currently in alpha. This feature is subject to change and may have bugs, issues, and limitations. We're actively improving it based on your feedback.

</blockquote>


The [AI app builder](https://dev.wix.com/app-builder) is a chat-based workflow for creating Wix apps. Instead of writing code from scratch, you describe your app idea in the AI app builder chat, and the built-in agent generates a complete app project using the [Wix CLI](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli.md). The agent writes the code, sets up your app dashboard, and configures extensions based on your requirements. You can continue to refine your app at any time in the [app workspace](#the-app-workspace), which provides all the tools you need to develop and manage your app.

## The app workspace

The [app workspace](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/app-workspace/about-the-app-workspace.md) is your central development environment. It combines a code editor, app management, previews, and the AI app builder chat in a single interface.

## AI app builder capabilities

The AI app builder can generate specific types of [extensions](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/about-extensions.md) and supports various features.

> **Note:** Additional features may be supported in future updates. If you have specific requests, [contact us](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/manage-your-app/contact-us/contact-us.md). 

### Supported extensions

- [Dashboard pages](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/dashboard-extensions/dashboard-pages/about-dashboard-page-extensions.md): Administrative pages you can add to the dashboard of a site. The AI app builder generates dashboard pages using [Auto Patterns](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-preview/building-apps-with-ai/auto-patterns/about-auto-patterns.md).
- [Editor React Components](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/site-extensions/editor-react-components/about-editor-react-components.md): Custom site widgets built in React that fully integrate with the editor.
- [Custom element widgets](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/site-extensions/site-widgets/connect-a-custom-element-s-colors-and-fonts-to-a-site-theme.md): App widgets created from custom HTML tags that you define. Editor setup panels aren't currently supported. Configure widgets through a dashboard page instead.
- [Embedded scripts](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/site-extensions/embedded-scripts/about-embedded-scripts.md): Extensions that inject HTML code fragments into the DOM of a site. Unlike other extensions, embedded scripts aren't fully configured by default during app installation and require an extra step to embed the code fragment.
- [HTTP endpoints](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/frameworks/wix-cli/supported-extensions/backend/http-endpoints/about-http-endpoints.md): Custom API endpoints you can create to serve any kind of data, generate files, or build API routes.
- [Events](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/backend-extensions/events/about-event-extensions.md): Extensions that subscribe your app to events so your app can run code when specific conditions are met. Only [Stores](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/stores/introduction.md) and [eCommerce](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/introduction.md) are supported.
- [Service plugins](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/backend-extensions/service-plugins/about-service-plugin-extensions.md): A set of APIs defined by Wix that you can use to enable your app to inject custom logic into existing app flows or to introduce entirely new flows to Wix sites. Only [Stores](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/stores/introduction.md) and [eCommerce](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/e-commerce/introduction.md) are supported.
- [Data Collections](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/backend-extensions/data-collections/about-data-collections-extensions.md): Extensions that add custom data structures and collections to Wix sites.

> **Note**: App extensions are visible in the App Dashboard only after releasing the app.
