Live Apps
Start from a template
Ready-made live apps you can put on your own data in one click — preview them first, connect what they need, and make them yours.
A template is like a show home. Everything is already built and furnished so you can walk through it and see what living there would be like — and when you say yes, the same house gets built for you, filled with your own things instead of the display ones.
How to use one
Open Live Apps and switch to the Templates tab. Each template card tells you what it shows, who it's good for, and which accounts it reads from.
- Preview it first. Every template can be opened and clicked through before you commit. What you see is marked Sample data — your app will show your own.
- Check what it needs. A template that reads an outside service shows Connect (the service) to use this app. Some templates need nothing at all — those run on your Nirvai workspace data and work immediately.
- Click Use this app. Give it a name, and Nirvai builds it on your account and loads your real data. This takes a few moments.
- It's yours from there. The finished app is a normal live app: refresh it, share it, and change anything with Edit with AI.
Once created, a template-built app is exactly like one you described yourself. Ask it to add a chart, drop a section, or change the colours — it's your app now.
What you might need first
| What the card says | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Connected | You already have everything | Click Use this app |
| Not connected | The template reads a service you haven't set up | Connect it in Credentials, then come back |
| Connected but needs reconnecting | The sign-in expired | Reconnect it in Credentials |
| Requires (a plan name) | The template is on a higher plan | You can still preview everything it does; upgrade in Billing to use it |
While it builds
Creating an app from a template sets it up and loads your data for the first time. If a source is slow or unavailable you'll be told how many loaded — for example "3 of 4 data sources loaded" — and you can refresh the rest from inside the app.
If the Templates tab is empty, no ready-made apps have been published yet. You can build any app you like with AI in the meantime — that's the same engine templates are made with.
