SE AI App Builder

Describe the app you need. Get a working database app inside Joomla, with every change checked before it touches your data.

Most Joomla sites eventually need something that isn't an article: a booking form, a member directory, a kit register, an event list, a stock tracker. Until now that meant learning a complicated form builder, paying a developer, or bolting on a separate service. With SE AI App Builder you describe what you want to keep track of in plain words. It builds the records, fields, forms and public pages for you, inside your own site and your own database.

Free and Pro: same features, different limits

Free isn't a cut-down demo. Build a complete app with the AI, payments, automation and all the rest, fill it with real data, and see it working on your own site. When you need more than one app, or more than ten records of a type, a Pro licence key removes the limits. Nothing you've stored is ever locked or hidden, whichever edition you're on.

Build it your way

• Describe it to the AI. Type "a football club with players, fixtures and results" and you get a full proposal: the records, their fields and how they link together. Nothing is created until you've seen it.
• Talk it through first. Not sure what you need? Have a conversation with the AI and let it plan the app with you, then build it in one click.
• Or build it by hand. The visual builder does everything without AI: add records and fields, link them, set rules, and arrange forms into pages.
• Change it any time. Ask the AI to "add a kit size to players", or edit it yourself. The app grows with you.

Your data is safe

Every change is reviewed before it runs. The Review screen shows exactly what will happen to your database, in plain English, and warns you about anything that affects existing records. For example, if 40 players have no squad number yet, or two venues share a code you're about to make unique. Affected tables are backed up first, and you can undo the change from Backups.

Fields for real-world data

Text, formatted text, numbers, money, dates and times, yes/no, choices, star ratings, email, phone, web addresses, locations on a map, photos and file uploads, automatic reference numbers (FIX-0001), calculated fields, and links between records with search for thousands of entries. You can add rules such as required, unique, minimum and maximum, or a pattern, and show a field only when another answer calls for it.

Public pages that fit your site

Show records as a table, cards, a grid, a compact list, a calendar or a map, with search and filters. Each record gets its own page. Forms can run over several pages, with dropdowns that depend on each other and repeating rows ("add another attendee"). Apps take their fonts and colours from your template, whether it's Cassiopeia, Helix Ultimate, Gantry or another, and look right on phones.

Everything a working app needs

• Sign-ups: visitors can create a Joomla account as they fill in a form.
• Payments: take money through Stripe or PayPal with the form. A record is published once it's paid.
• Comments and ratings, with moderation.
• Automation: send emails, reminders, status changes, webhooks and scheduled actions. Describe a rule to the AI or set it up yourself.
• Saved views, charts and dashboards for the people running the app.
• Front-end editing, so members can update their own records.
• CSV import and export, and app export to copy a whole app to another site.
• Permissions for each app and record type, using Joomla's own access levels.
• Smart Search integration, plus a module and content plugin to show app lists anywhere on your site.
• Translations, with AI-suggested wording for multilingual sites.
• A health check and an AI troubleshooter that explain what's wrong and how to fix it.
• Demo data to see a new app working straight away.
