October 31st - Context-Aware AI Assistant + User Guides in the Generated Apps

We are happy to announce the release of Project Events to further enhance the user experience in managing and troubleshooting web application projects. Project Events provide real-time notifications within the project chat, giving users a detailed log of project-related events, including project builds, changes, and error information.

Checking project status by asking Context-Aware AI Assistant

With the addition of Project Events, users can now access a comprehensive timeline of their project’s development directly within the chat interface. This feature brings a new level of transparency, displaying both general and technical information in one accessible location.

Interactive Tour Guide in Flatlogic Generated Applications

We are also excited to introduce an integrated in-app Tour Guide that provides users with a structured walkthrough of the application’s core features.

This new addition is available for applications built within Flatlogic’s primary tech stack and offers an intuitive onboarding experience, ensuring users can quickly familiarize themselves with key functionalities.

The Tour Guide includes:

  • Welcome Screen: A warm greeting screen, setting the tone for new users as they enter the app.
  • Landing Page Overview: A brief explanation (if the app includes a landing page) to orient users to the primary value propositions and navigation.
  • Login Page Tips: Guidance on logging in, emphasizing ease of access and security options.

October 16th - AI-Generated Websites in Flatlogic Generator: All Apps Have Landing Pages Now!

We are excited to announce a new feature – automatic landing page generation for AI-created websites in Flatlogic Generator. This feature enhances the user experience by providing a dynamic landing page for each AI-generated project, making it easy to showcase and promote web applications right out of the gate. This feature was developed in response to our roadmap query: Generate Static Websites on Demand.

Upon entering an AI-generated project in the Flatlogic Generator, users will now be greeted by a fully developed website, accessible either directly within the application or by clicking on the app’s name. These landing pages consist of multiple sections tailored to the context of each specific application, ensuring a cohesive and professional look.

August 5th - AI-Generated Roles and Permissions to Flatlogic Generator

We are excited to announce a groundbreaking enhancement to the Flatlogic Generator: AI-generated Roles and Permissions. AI Flatlogic Generator will automatically generate roles that match the theme of your application if roles and permissions are enabled in your project (and sample data is not disabled). For default applications with roles and permissions, just an administrator, and applications with multitenancy: administrator + super admin 2 roles.

The AI doesn’t just create roles, it also intelligently assigns permissions. Key roles are given broad permissions to ensure they have all the access they need. For example, the most critical roles receive full permissions, while less critical roles receive a more limited set of permissions.

The App Role field allows you to set the role of any user in the user table. This feature reduces manual setup time and provides a consistent, secure, and efficient permission structure across your applications.

June 14th, 2024 – Announcing AI-Driven Project Specification Generation Feature

Significant enhancement tailored for our paid subscription users who thrive on precision and efficiency – AI-driven project specification generation.

Effective immediately, users who generate projects via Flatlogic Generator’s AI will gain exclusive access to a newly integrated Specification tab.

AI Dialogue History: The history of conversation with the AI about the project creation process.

AI Dialogue History

Download PDF button: With a single click, users can now generate a comprehensive PDF document detailing the project’s requirements: project overview, requirements, and next steps. The process takes approximately a few minutes. Once generated, the PDF can be immediately downloaded and sent directly to the user’s email, ensuring that your project specification follows you even if you leave the page.

Example of an AI-driven project specification pdf file

This update not only streamlines the project management process but also empowers our users to harness the full potential of AI in developing robust, precise business software.
