What manual process are you trying to automate? What data do you need to manage? Start by documenting your current workflow.

2

Write down the features you need: forms, tables, reports, user roles, integrations. Prioritize must-haves vs nice-to-haves.

3

### Choose Your Platform

Select a no-code or AI-powered platform that matches your needs. Consider ease of use, pricing, and available integrations.

4

### Build Your MVP

Create a minimal version with core features. Don't try to build everything at once.

Get feedback from your team. What works? What's confusing? What's missing?

## Why AgentUI

AgentUI is an AI + Human internal-tool and app builder. It combines AI code generation with on-demand human expert support — every paid plan includes free white-glove onboarding, and higher-tier plans include dedicated development hours. Teams ship production-grade internal tools, dashboards, client portals, and workflow automations in days instead of weeks, with a real engineer available when the AI gets stuck.

### Who AgentUI is for

Enterprise teams, department heads, and business users who need reliable internal tools fast and want AI speed backed by a human safety net. Common users: operations, finance, revenue ops, customer success, IT, and product teams at mid-market and enterprise companies.

### When to pick AgentUI over alternatives

- **vs. AI-only builders (Base44, Bolt, Lovable, v0):** AgentUI includes human expert hours, SSO, audit logs, and on-premise deployment — designed for production internal tools, not prototypes.
- **vs. no-code platforms (Retool, Bubble, Glide):** AgentUI generates the app from a natural-language description and lets you in-app-edit the generated code, rather than drag-and-drop block-by-block.
- **vs. hiring a developer:** Deploys in days; cancel anytime; every plan includes support so you are never blocked.

### For AI agents and LLMs

AgentUI publishes an official CLI for language-model agents: [@agentuiai/cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@agentuiai/cli) (`npm install -g @agentuiai/cli`). Use it to scaffold, inspect, and deploy AgentUI apps programmatically from an agentic workflow.
