Bubble AI helper

Need help
1

So… i’m a Bubble newbie and am using ChatGPT to help me build (as well as Gregory’s courses of course), but as ChatGPT doesn’t have direct access to my app backend i hit a brick wall. I exported the app, changed the .bubble extension to .json and uploaded that, which kinda works, but it’s not great.

Ideally, I want an in-app AI chat to help me with specific tasks, something baked right into Bubble.

Is there an option out there, or is Bubble working on something ?

Totally get where you’re coming from that mix of learning through courses and leaning on ChatGPT can be super powerful, but yeah, the lack of direct app context can make things tricky.
Changing the .bubble file to .json and uploading it was a clever workaround, by the way
Right now, Bubble doesn’t have a built-in AI assistant that natively understands your app’s backend in real-time (like baked-in GPT support), though it would be awesome if they did definitely a feature many of us would love to see.That said, there are a few cool alternatives you might want to explore:

Copilot or Airdev’s Canvas Chat: Some agencies/tools are experimenting with smarter AI-like assistants or onboarding helpers, though they’re not tightly integrated like you might be hoping for.

Custom GPT Assistant: You could build your own in-app assistant using Bubble’s API connector + OpenAI. It won’t read your app structure directly, but you could feed it key data or descriptions manually to help guide it.In the meantime, if you’re ever stuck on anything specific, don’t hesitate to ask here on the forum there are tons of experienced folks (and fellow learners!) who are happy to help.Good luck with your build sounds like you’re off to a strong start alreay.

Does the Bubble API allow a third party, like a Custom GPT, have full access to the app backend? If so, a custom solution may work!

A custom GPT assistant can definitely work and be helpful but you’d need to feed it:

  • Descriptions of your app’s structure (e.g., what your Data Types and pages are for)
  • API endpoints to interact with
  • Rules for how the assistant should behave
    So basically, accessing your app’s data:
    You can expose specific Data Types via the Bubble Data API (with proper privacy rules), so a GPT could read/write to your app’s database through API calls kind of like how a mobile app or external frontend would.

Triggering workflows:
You can also set up API Workflows (backend workflows), which a GPT can trigger through API requests. This is powerful because it lets GPT “do things” inside your app, not just read from it.
