How Bubble Assist works

Bubble Assist takes three steps to complete your app:

  1. The initial prompt: First, you tell Bubble Assist what you want to build. This is a written description of the app you envision creating.

  2. Blueprint and revision: Bubble Assist will then show you a blueprint of your app based on your prompt.

    • Prompt bar: You’ll see a prompt bar on the left allowing you to make add and remove features

    • User stories and features: On the right, you’ll see a set of user stories, which are the key things a user should be able to do on your app. Below that, you’ll see a feature list — which collectively allows the user to accomplish all the things they may want to on your app.

  4. App generation: When you feel that the user stories and listed features are aligned with your vision, you instruct Bubble Assist to start building your app. Within a few minutes, you will see your idea come to life, complete with the listed features, a front-end, a back-end, logic linking the two and a complete database structure with sample data.

The finished product is identical to a user-created Bubble app, allowing you the usual complete freedom to modify its design, database, and workflows as you see fit.

Prompt guide

Now comes the exciting part: crafting the prompt that Bubble Assist will use to bring your app idea to life.

Content

We recommend keeping your prompt short, ideally around 1–2 sentences, with a maximum limit of 500 characters. Focus on including the essential details of your app idea without overloading the description. Remember, simplicity helps Bubble Assist create a more accurate and effective blueprint for your app.

Describe at a high level:

  • App type

  • Target user

  • Your app goals

  • What users should be able to do

  • Desired look and feel

Keep in mind that you will be able to make revisions once the first blueprint is generated.

Dos and don’ts

  • Do include notes on color and styling, such as “blue and white” or “dark mode.”

  • Do include an , if you have one in mind.

  • Don’t include detailed notes on page layout. While Bubble Assist may support more detailed instructions in the future, the alpha version will likely not follow your exact layout requirements.

  • Don’t ask for API calls or plugins. Bubble Assist currently doesn’t support third-party integrations (but you can add them through Bubble’s usual tools after the app is built).

You can read more about how to add third-party integrations in the article series below:

Limitations

We do not currently handle plugins, APIs, payment gateways, or certain elements like file uploaders.

However, you can add all of these elements easily once you land in the editor. Here are some resources to help you out when you get there.

Example prompts

Example 1

A marketplace for artisans to sell handcrafted goods to consumers in New York.

Example 2

A financial management portal for users to manage their personal income and expenses. Users should be able to add accounts and see all accounts on a dashboard. The page should be blue and minimalist.

Example 3


A content platform for students to share course material and ask questions in a feed. It should be purple and use dark mode.
