IntelliApps

Generate complete, interactive web apps from a chat and publish them for others to use — built by an IntelliAsk agent through the IntelliApps service.

Introduction

IntelliApps lets an IntelliAsk agent turn a conversation into a real, interactive web app — a dashboard, a form, a tracker, a live sign-up list — and then preview, publish, and share it. Apps can carry their own data, collect submissions, and even update live for multiple viewers at once.

Behind the scenes IntelliApps is a dedicated stack service that IntelliAsk reaches as a native MCP server; the agent uses its tools to build the app, import data, and publish.

Deep reference

For the complete service reference — architecture, the full environment surface, every published-page feature, and the security model — see Services → IntelliApps.

Getting started

IntelliApps ships as a stack service (internally html-app-builder). Once it's running and wired to IntelliAsk, there's nothing for end users to install:

Deploy the IntelliApps service alongside the stack.
Set INTELLIAPPS_API_URL and INTELLIAPPS_SERVICE_KEY on the IntelliAsk container — see Adding Environment Variables. The service key must match IntelliApps' own HTML_APP_MCP_API_KEY.
IntelliAsk auto-injects the native intelliapps MCP server at container build; the agent can now build and publish apps.

Key features

Build from chat

Describe the app you want and the agent generates a complete, themed, single-page app — then iterates on it with you. Each save is an immutable version you can roll back to.

Bring your own data

Import datasets straight into an app, or fetch an image from the web to use as an asset — the service handles storage (S3), datasets and live collections (PostgreSQL), and app metadata (MongoDB) for you.

Preview privately with a signed link, then publish as an unlisted shareable link or lock it to authenticated IntelliAsk users. Exports are self-contained and work offline.

Interactive published pages

Turn a static page into a live app with opt-in features: ask-the-data chat, live read/write collections, comment boards, reactions, polls, presence, applause, follow-the-presenter walkthroughs, annotations, and a forms engine. See Published-page features.

Company branding

A deployment logo is inlined into every app and survives preview, publish, and the offline export.

Using it in IntelliAsk

Enable the IntelliApps MCP tools on an agent (or use the default agent that has them wired) and just ask it to build the app you want. The agent walks you through building, previewing, and publishing — no code required.
