Build an internal tool

Turn a manual team chore into a small tool the team can use directly. This capability is rolling out.

Copy as Markdown to paste into an AI, so it understands your context faster

Coming soon, rolling out. Having an AI teammate build interactive internal tools (apps) with data and backend logic is rolling out in stages and isn't open to every organization yet. This page explains what it is and what it solves. Once the capability reaches your org, a full step-by-step guide will land here.

What it will solve

Most teams have a chore that's "passed around in a spreadsheet and kind of annoying": material requests, time off, bug reports, quote calculation, lightweight approvals. The goal is that you describe the chore in a sentence and an AI teammate turns it into a small tool the team uses directly.

  • Form + records: someone submits, it's recorded, and history is queryable
  • Notify / approve: a submission notifies a channel or person, who can approve or reject
  • Query / dashboard: turn a set of data into a queryable, visual page
  • Calculate / transform: small tools like a quote calculator or batch processing

Unlike launching a landing page, an internal tool is interactive, keeps data, and has backend logic, so it depends on the apps capability, which is rolling out.

What you can use today

Until this reaches your org, a lot of needs can be covered by shipped capabilities:

  • Read-only internal pages, dashboards, or reports: have an AI teammate build one and publish it as an Artifact, shareable inside your org (see Launch a landing page).
  • Scheduled or event-triggered workflows: use an automation to run repeated actions automatically (see Monitor every deploy).
  • Collect and route: simple submit/notify flows can run on channels and tasks for now.
