What is Blocks?

Blocks is your workspace for building and using powerful AI apps that make work faster, easier, and more personal.

With Blocks, you can:

  • Build new tools from scratch with Ella, our AI teammates

  • Customize existing apps to match your specific needs

How to build custom apps

You can build with ease anything! The sky is truly the limit! Just navigate to '+new app', share with Ella, our AI Teammate, what you'd like to create or what problem your trying to solve and let her build a custom tool for you!

You can continue the conversation with her, ask her to add additional tools or customizations to your app.

When you're ready, you can share your app with your team or publish it to the Marketplace

Every app is fully customizable — you can easily make it your own! 👇
