 ## App Builder and development
 
 | APEX | pgkiln | Notes |
 |---|---|---|
 | App Builder: create, edit, delete, run apps | ✅ | Builder at `/builder` |
-| Create application wizard | ✅ | Blank app with its own database role and schema, started from a **boilerplate application** if wanted; **from a file**: CSV/TSV/XLSX/JSON/XML, where an Excel workbook with several sheets (or JSON with several arrays) becomes several tables, with a preview to include or leave out each sheet, edit table/column names, types and primary keys, and **foreign keys proposed** from matching columns; **from pasted data** (CSV/TSV text); **from existing tables** (pick the tables and views of a schema). Each gives a report and form per table, navigation and an optional dashboard (a chart per table), plus an optional faceted search for a single table, all created in one transaction. (sprint 73) **One page like APEX's**: name, icon and description, appearance (theme style, side or top menu, accent), a **page type per table** (interactive report with form, faceted search, cards, calendar, master detail, interactive grid, report, none; large tables proposed as a grid), **features** (About page, access control roles, activity reporting, feedback, theme style selection, PWA, push), settings (alias, authentication, first user, language) and a boilerplate under Advanced; a progress message, then straight to the new application.

Every tool call is logged with its arguments (debug and Activity → AI usage). Providers add Gemini and OpenAI-compatible endpoints (Ollama, vLLM, Azure OpenAI). Answers are not streamed; no OCI provider. `pgvector` covers semantic search on the data side |

Page process `ai_generate` (text into an item, or structured output into several items with a schema built from the items or your own) and a dynamic action that runs it without a page submit; `meta.ai_generate` / `ai_result` / `ai_available` from SQL ([chapter 6](guide/06-processing.md)). Prompts, item values included, go to the chosen provider |

Applications are exported on their own; isolation, database roles and passwords never leave the installation |
 | Workspaces (multi-tenant) | ✅ | Workspaces group applications and developers: the builder shows and opens only the applications of a developer's workspaces (administrators: all), a current workspace with a switcher, new and imported applications go into it, administrators add workspaces, choose their developers and move applications ([chapter 3](guide/03-builder.md#workspaces)). (sprint 60) **Isolated workspaces** are a tenant boundary: the applications run on a PostgreSQL login of the workspace's own and its developers' SQL Workshop on another, with row-level security on pgkiln's tables, so SQL that resets its role can't reach other workspaces' applications, data, sessions or accounts; **workspace database roles** (APEX: workspace schemas) assigned by administrators; **workspace administrators** who manage their workspace's developers; SQL scripts, blueprints and sample data per workspace ([isolated workspaces](guide/03-builder.md#isolated-workspaces)). **Missing:** user directories per workspace (accounts are installation-wide, visible to the workspaces whose applications they use), developers created by a workspace administrator |
