No-code platform for building business applications directly from data sources.
What is AppSheet?
AppSheet is Google’s no-code platform that enables business users to create mobile and web applications without programming. The platform analyzes existing data sources like Google Sheets, Excel, or SQL databases and automatically generates a functional app with forms, lists, dashboards, and workflows.
The app editor allows visual customization of layout, navigation, and business logic. Validation rules, calculated fields, and conditional formatting are configured through a visual editor. AppSheet generates native mobile apps for iOS and Android as well as Progressive Web Apps for the browser.
AppSheet Automation extends the platform with bot-based process automation. Bots can be triggered by specific events and automatically perform actions: send emails, start approval workflows, update data via APIs, or generate reports.
With Gemini in AppSheet, apps can also be created via natural language: based on a description of the business process, Gemini generates matching tables, columns, and views as a starting point.
