Master the Genesis UI: A Guide to the New UI

Using TAA for Genesis Apps

You can build and manage Genesis apps from anywhere inside your workspace:

Open the TAA in the left panel.
Describe the app you want to build or modify (use prompts below).

Core Genesis Capabilities

Use these prompts with TAA to build, edit, and manage apps.

Connect to APIs and Projects

Wire apps to workspace projects and external systems.

Action	Prompt example

Manage email campaigns	“Connect this app to my email automation API for campaign management.”
Trigger onboarding workflows	“Build an interface that triggers my customer onboarding workflow.”
Aggregate multiple APIs	“Create a reporting app that pulls data from multiple project APIs.”

Edit & Modify Apps

Update existing app structure, UX, and logic.

Action	Prompt example
Add views, panels, fields	“Add a ‘Recent Activity’ panel and a ‘Notes’ field to the customer profile.”
Change data model	“Add a ‘lifecycle_stage’ enum to contacts and backfill from existing tags.”
Update validation & permissions	“Make phone optional, validate email, restrict admin to Managers.”
Adjust layout & styling	“Switch to a two-column layout and apply our brand colors.”
Modify branching logic	“If plan=tier_pro, show advanced settings; otherwise hide those sections.”
Introduce computed fields	“Add ‘Customer Lifetime Value’ computed from orders and refunds.”

Analyze & Retrieve Apps

Understand structure, logic, and data flow.

Action	Prompt example
Retrieve app structure	“Show me the current pages, forms, and data models in this app.”
Explain logic paths	“Explain what happens when a user submits the onboarding form.”
Identify issues	“Analyze my app and highlight potential UX or data issues.”
Map data flow	“Map how data moves from form input to dashboard widgets.”
Document dependencies	“Generate a brief doc of app logic and integrations.”
Review performance	“Analyze slow views and suggest performance improvements.”

Deploy & Manage

Test, publish, monitor, and maintain.

Action	Prompt example
Test with sample data	“Seed 20 sample contacts and test all views.”
Debug failures	“My submission page errors on save—help me debug and fix.”
Monitor performance	“Add monitoring and alert me if median load time > 1.5s.”
Error notifications	“Notify me in Slack when any save action fails.”
Manage credentials	“Review and rotate credentials used by this app.”
Versioning & rollback	“Create a new version, keep the old one archived, and enable rollback.”

Duplicate & Clone

Reuse and adapt.

Action	Prompt example
Clone with modifications	“Copy my customer onboarding app and adapt it for employee onboarding.”
Adapt for new projects	“Clone my lead app for partnerships with a different pipeline.”
Create templates	“Turn this app into a reusable template with placeholders.”
Scale for teams	“Duplicate the completion tracker for Design and Marketing teams.”
Customize cloned logic	“Copy my support app and modify flows for refund requests.”
Share patterns	“Export a starter kit with common pages, fields, and styles.”

Troubleshoot & Debug

Diagnose and resolve issues.

Integration guidance	“What’s the best way to connect multiple external services?”
Optimization techniques	“How do I add retries and backoff to requests?”
Demonstrate features	“Show how to implement fallbacks and circuit breakers.”
Debug methodology	“Give me a step-by-step approach to debug failed saves.”

Optimize & Improve

Enhance performance and UX.

Action	Prompt example
Find bottlenecks	“Identify bottlenecks in page renders and data fetches.”
Optimize processing	“Speed up bulk import and handle 50k rows.”
Reduce complexity	“Remove redundant pages and consolidate forms.”
Harden reliability	“Add error boundaries, retries, and alerting.”

Advanced Genesis Features

Use these patterns to add intelligence, control, and resilience to your apps.

Conditional Logic & Branching

Route users based on attributes, inputs, or states.

Action	Prompt example
If/then/else UI paths	“Branch support form flows by issue type: technical, billing, general.”
Multi-condition routing	“Route sales leads by segment and score.”
Text/pattern matching	“If title contains ‘refund’ or ‘chargeback’, show Billing path.”
Numeric comparisons	“Assign to least-loaded rep by open task count.”
Time-based conditions	“Escalate tickets open > 7 days to managers.”
Complex boolean logic	“Proceed only if plan=Pro AND priority=High OR due=today.”

Loops & Batch Operations

Process lists, imports, and bulk actions.

Action	Prompt example
Loop through lists	“Process a list of emails and create one record per contact.”
Iterate records	“Loop overdue tasks and send personalized reminders.”
Batch files	“Process uploaded files and extract key data for each.”
Dynamic list sizes	“Handle any number of new rows from a CSV import.”
Aggregate results	“Generate a daily digest summarizing processed items.”
One-click batch actions	“Add a ‘Process All Orders’ action to update statuses.”

Scheduling & Timing

Automate time-based behavior.
