AI Engineer: Your Intelligent Development Assistant
Introduction
The AI Engineer is an intelligent assistant that helps throughout your application development process within the Flatlogic platform. It serves as your partner throughout the development flow, from initial requirements gathering to making complex changes to your application's architecture and design.
How AI Engineer Works With You
Requirements Gathering
When you start creating a new application, the AI Engineer helps you clarify and define your high-level requirements. It understands both your selected template and your specific needs, guiding you through important decisions about:
- What entities your application should include
- How data should be displayed (tables, kanban boards, calendars)
- What integrations you might need (payment processing, authentication)
- Core functionality specific to your business domain
The AI Engineer asks targeted questions to better understand your vision and translates your responses into a structured application architecture.
Schema Modifications
Once your application is created, the AI Engineer can help you modify its underlying schema. You can request changes through natural language, such as: "Add an Events entity that displays as a calendar view" or "Create a relationship between Customers and Orders".
The AI Engineer understands these requests and can:
- Add new entities and attributes
- Modify existing data structures
- Create relationships between different parts of your application
- Adjust how data is displayed and interacted with
- Delete fields and entities
Visual and UI Customization
Within the Development environment, you can work with the AI Engineer to change your application's look. The AI Engineer can help you:
- Change color schemes and apply themes appropriate for your domain
- Adjust typography and visual elements
- Modify layouts and component positioning
- Enhance user interactions and flows
Simply describe what you want to achieve, and the AI Engineer will suggest appropriate modifications.
Functional Enhancements
The AI Engineer can also help with adding functionality to your application. You can request features like: "Add a dashboard showing monthly sales" or "Implement user role permissions".
The AI understands the context of your application and can make appropriate code changes to implement these features, often without requiring you to write any code yourself.
Code Analysis and Troubleshooting
When problems arise, the AI Engineer can:
- Analyze error messages and suggest fixes
- Review your application files to identify issues
- Propose solutions for bugs or performance problems
- Implement fixes directly into your codebase
The AI provides explanations of what went wrong and how the fix works, helping you learn while solving problems.
Versioning and Rollbacks
Every change made by the AI Engineer creates a new version in your Editor environment. This gives you complete freedom to experiment with your application knowing you can always return to a previous working version, compare changes between versions and select successful changes while discarding others.
