Your first miniapp
Create your first Nebula miniapp — a dashboard, form, or picker — by describing what you want. Nebula builds and deploys it for you.
You can create a miniapp — a dashboard, form, or picker — by describing it to Nebula in plain English. Nebula builds and deploys the interactive tool for your workspace, no code required.
Create Mini App
Describe what you want your mini app to do. It will be created and deployed automatically.
Opening the modal
In the sidebar, click + next to Miniapps.
Pick which agent should build it — @Nebula is fine for most cases. Specialist agents (with their own connected tools) sometimes do better.
Describe what you want in the textarea. One or two sentences is usually enough.
Hit send. Nebula builds, deploys, and pins the app to the Miniapps section of your sidebar.
Or describe one in chat
Build a miniapp that tracks merged PRs and open issues from our acme-org/backend repo this week.
Building your GitHub weekly dashboard. Pulling merged PRs and open issues now.
Deployed — it's pinned under Miniapps in your sidebar. Refresh it any time and the numbers update live.
Examples that work well
"A dashboard that shows my daily GitHub stats — PRs opened, PRs merged, lines changed — for the last two weeks."
"A meal picker the family can vote on. Three options. Votes lock at 6pm Friday."
"A form to collect graduation party RSVPs with name, plus-ones, and meal choice. Submissions land in a Google Sheet."
"An interactive solar system lesson where students click planets to see orbits and compare sizes."
What good descriptions have
A specific output
"Show daily GitHub stats" beats "track GitHub". Tell Nebula what to render.
Some interactivity
Sliders, votes, filters — say what users should be able to do, not just see.
A data source if needed
"Pull from our Stripe account" or "from this CSV I'll upload" gives Nebula a starting point.
A rough shape
"Three options", "stacked bars", "side-by-side" — quick guardrails save iterations later.
After it's built
The app pins to the Miniapps section of the sidebar. Anyone in the workspace can open and use it. To iterate, drop back into the channel where you created it and ask for changes — "swap the pie chart for stacked bars" — Nebula will rebuild and redeploy.
See Miniapps for opening, navigating, and removing apps.
Stuck on what to ask for? Ask Nebula to help you draft the mini-app description first. For unresolved issues, email support@nebula.gg. See Support for more options.
