For AI Builders
Build your first AI app without code in minutes
Build Your First AI App
Create an app that writes poems, saves them, and emails them to your team.
- Log in to admin.decocms.com
- Navigate to your organization and project
- Click Apps in the sidebar
- Browse available integrations or open “Store” to install new ones
- Select the Gmail app from the store
- Connect the app and authorize your account
Apps are pre-built integrations that expose tools. They serve as building blocks for your AI applications.
Open New Thread from the sidebar and ask deco chat:
Create a poem about deco CMS, save it to a document and email it to you@yourcompany.com using @SEND_EMAIL Watch deco chat:
- Create the poem
- Call
DECO_RESOURCE_DOCUMENT_CREATEto save it - Call
SEND_EMAILfrom Gmail integration to send it
Use @ mentions to call specific tools and resources.
Turn this one-off task into reusable automation:
Create an Agent
Go to Agents → New Agent:
- Assign tools for document creation using
@DECO_RESOURCE_DOCUMENT_CREATEand email sending using@SEND_EMAIL - Add instructions for your use case and save your agent
- Now anyone can use it
Create a Workflow
Create workflows from:
- Workflows → New Workflow and describe what you need in deco chat
- Use
@workflow_managementin any thread or agent conversation
Example:
Create a workflow for daily poem generation Then iterate naturally, as you would when assigning the task to someone else
Or, you can be more specific from the get-go:
Create a workflow called "poem-mailer" that:
1. Takes input: topic (string) and recipients (string)
2. Generates a poem about the topic using AI
3. Saves to documents with tags ["poem", "ai-generated"]
4. Emails to recipients every morning at 9am Create a Custom View
Build interfaces for your data:
Create a view called "poem-gallery" that:
- Shows all poems from documents
- Displays in 3-column grid
- Each card shows title, description, creation date
- Add search bar to filter by name
- Make it beautiful Agent Modes
We are introducing three specialized agent modes for different stages:
- Explorer - Discover capabilities and tools
- Planner - Design applications and write PRDs
- Builder - Implement tools, workflows, and views
Switch modes via the chat interface selector. Each has optimized tool access.
