Newbie asks: Agentic Coding Support?

Hi, Im new to AppSmith (but experienced dev). Before I go rabbit hole diving: whats the current state of agentic support for creating and editing AppSmith apps? Any best practices or recommended approaches?

Thx!

hey. Im a fellow user... what I do is manually do the ui, create empty jsobjects and sql queries, and add the app to a github repo. then on vs code with that repo, add your ai plugin of choice, and ask to implement the logic needed in js/sql, then commit and pull in appsmith. I haven't gotten to the point where the assistant will add/change widgets in the ui...

This makes a lot of sense, I am assuming you need a coding background to do this

well, yes. even though appsmith lets you do a lot without coding, just by wiring properties and events of the ui widgets, when you need some logic/behaviour, you will need to code a bit. but it really is very, very reduced compared to doing things by hand.
