To create a custom app using Cobalt AI, click on + Add App in the Custom Apps section of Cobalt, provide the official documentation URL and a prompt describing the app you want to build and click on send button.

You will not be able to provide the prompt if the documentation URL is not given.

Cobalt AI will start building the app and following steps will occur.

App Details generation

Based on the documentation link provided, Cobalt AI will generate the app name, description and logo.

App Authorization creation

Next, Cobalt AI will generate the Authorization of the app based on the documentation.

Click on the Authorization type generated and verify and configure it.

In the Overview tab, you can see the basic details of the authorization type based on documentation.

Verify the auth type and make changes if required. Based on the selected auth type, you can see the fields end-user will need to input for the authorization under Configure tab. Provide the credentials required there so that you can test the API Actions generated by AI.

If you want to make any changes in the authorization configuration, you can do so later once Cobalt AI has generated the app fully.

App Actions generation

Based on the prompt provided, Cobalt AI will generate actions in the app.

Click on Test for any action and you can now test it by providing payload if required and then clicking on Test Action.

The action will work during testing only if you provided the required API credentials in the Configure tab of Authorization generated by Cobalt AI.

Once tested and if you want to publish that action, click on Create Action button and it will be available as action in your Custom App.

The Custom App is now created by Cobalt AI. If everything is correct, you can click on Publish and make the integration available for use. If you would like to make changes in Authorization or action, click on the info button beside Publish button of the app.

Making changes in the AI App

If you want to make any changes to the app’s authorization, navigate to the Authorization tab and do it.

Custom Apps support multiple authentication methods. To setup the Authorization for the Custom App, navigate to Authorization in the App and choose the desired method.

The methods of Authorization are:

Once done, click on the Go Live button and your Custom App is now ready to use.
