Mini-Apps
A mini-app is a single-purpose tool with a guided interface. Instead of a blank chat box, you get the exact inputs the job needs and a finished deliverable in a consistent format every time: GenStudio is the clearest example, turning a brief into a storyboarded video ad, scenes, shots, copy, and all.
How it differs from chat and from an agent
Chat is open-ended: you steer, and the format is whatever you negotiate in the moment. A mini-app pins down both ends: guided inputs, and a consistent output you can hand off without reformatting. An agent is different again: it plans and executes multi-step work across your tools, deciding the steps as it goes. Use a mini-app for a single, well-shaped deliverable, and an agent when the work spans several steps and needs judgment.
What mini-apps can do
- Creative: turn a brief into a storyboarded video ad, social posts, or ad variations.
- Writing: produce a structured doc, like a PRD, release note, or job description.
- Research: collect and summarize sources into a consistent brief.
- Data: pull a dataset into a clean, formatted report, like a department budget dashboard.
- Outreach: generate a sequence from a target and an angle.
