Create a dashboard, report or app
Build a dashboard, report or app from a single prompt.
One prompt produces a complete dashboard, app or report: layout, charts, theme, and the data connections. The steps below are the same for all three.
Say what you want to track, log or set and it builds that in as well, as an input table with the controls to fill it in. You do not have to ask for it by name.
On your first visit, Flitch asks for your data before anything is built: every source it can read, in one place. What you add lands in the message input, ready to build from. You can skip it and build on sample data, and add data at any time from the Data page.
Steps
Open Create
In the sidebar, click Create Create.
Pick datasets
Click Data and select the datasets you want to include. You can mix datasets from multiple connections in the same build, and Flitch auto-detects relationships between them. With no datasets selected, Flitch generates a sample dataset for you.
Click Attach file to add images (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP) as visual reference: a target layout, brand assets, or design notes. See File attachments.
Click Settings to set brand kit, pages, navigation layout, and theme.
Choose what to build
The picker under the prompt offers Auto, Report, Dashboard and App. Auto reads the request and picks one of the three. A report is one page, so its options have no page count or navigation.
To have a workflow made alongside, describe the work it should do and leave Make new workflows alongside what you build on in the workflows picker. An app can then run it from a button.
Write a prompt
A topic plus a few constraints works well. The more general the prompt, the more Flitch decides for you (layout, grouping, chart types). The more specific, the tighter the control over the output.
Submit
The editor opens and shows the build as it goes:
- Reading the data: the datasets you picked, or sample data made for you when you picked none.
- Planning the pages: which pages there are and what each one shows.
- Naming it and setting the look: the name and the theme.
- Building the pages: the pages are written together, each ticked off as it lands.
A report is one page, so it reads the data, sets the look and writes the report, with no planning step.
Usually 1 to 3 minutes end to end.
After generation
When the build finishes, the editor's top bar has:
- Rename: click the name to edit it.
- Desktop / mobile: toggle / to switch viewports.
- Refresh: reloads the preview.
- Settings: open the Settings tab for general info, data sources, AI context, code, and publishing. See Settings.
- Update: describe changes in the chat sidebar. See Update.
- Edit: change values, charts, and styles directly with the inspector. See Inspector.
- Publish when ready. See Publishing.
Generation is the highest cost AI step. Updates and inline edits cost much less. See Billing.
