Overview
MindStudio is a no-code AI app builder that allows you to create complex AI applications. MindStudio leverages foundational AI models and includes built-in resources to expand the capabilities of your AI.
In this guide, we’ll go over all the essential components that will allow you to get started in building your first AI.
Creating a New AI
To create a new AI, navigate to “My AIs” and then tap “New AI”. This will open MindStudio, our Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for creating AIs.
In the bottom left you can find quickstart links to tutorials, pre-built templates, the Prompt Generator Engine, and more.
The Prompt
The Prompt is the set of initial system instructions that you provide to your AI. The Prompt allows you to define your AI's role and how it is meant to assist the user.
Simply type in your instructions or use AI to generate new prompts using our open source Prompt Generator Engine.
Automations
Automations are no-code workflows that instruct the AI to perform various automated actions. All automation workflows consist of 3 parts:
Onboarding State – Initializes the automated workflow.
Automation Blocks – Each block performs a specific action such as collecting user inputs, querying data, performing custom java script functions, and more.
End State – Ends the automation and begins the user to AI interaction.
Data Sources
Data Sources allow you to integrate custom data to enhance the capabilities of your AI. When you add a new Data Source, you allow the AI to reference that data before generating a response to your users.
Integrating a custom data source allows the AI to leverage additional information and domain-specific knowledge beyond its default training data. This provides a simple way to customize the AI's knowledge for your specific needs.
Variables
Variables are used to represent parts of data that we pass through the AI. Variables can be recognized by the AI in both the prompt and automation sections of the editor.
Adding double brackets around your variable name will allow the AI to recognize that variable. Example: {{myVar}}
Model Settings
Different LLMs have varying degrees of productivity. Depending on the use case of your app, some models might perform better than others.
MindStudio allows you to choose the best model for your particular needs.
Publishing
You must configure your AI’s settings before publishing.
General - Provide your app details and build a landing page.
Access - Configure your share settings and set a price.
Billing - View invoices and configure payment settings.
To configure the publish settings, click on the Root file on the left panel.

Testing and Debugging
When writing your Prompt you may test the response output by using the Prompt Tester on the right. You can also quickly troubleshoot your app by using the Error and Debugger tab on the left panel.
To preview the AI without publishing, you can open the AI in draft mode by tapping on the Open button at the top right and selecting Preview Draft.
AI Dashboard
Every app comes with an individual dashboard that allows you to track your total earnings, user counts and more.
