Hi everyone, I have an existing Bubble app built with the classic editor (not AI-generated). Is there any way to enable the Bubble AI Agent for an existing app? Or any workaround to migrate a project to AI mode without rebuilding from scratch? Thanks! ---

@tech51 Right now, the Bubble AI app builder is only available when creating a new app. There isn’t a way to turn an existing classic app into an “AI mode” app, and there’s no migration tool to convert a full project. If you want to use the AI builder, you’d need to generate a new app and then manually copy over your database structure, workflows, and UI from the original app. There’s no automatic upgrade path. ---

But there _are_ a few practical workarounds depending on what outcome you want. ---

@georgecollier is working on an AI edit feature in [Buildprint](https://getbuildprints.com/) that might be able to do this ---

There isn’t a way which feels counterintuitive. Instead of rewarding long-term apps and customers, it prevents them from integrating with what would likely be the most useful feature. ---

Yeah, nothing like working on a client’s app, having them see the news, and then needing to explain that the updates are only for new users. So for our app, we just have to wait until they decide to support people who have been on the platform for years. Frustrating, to say the least. ---
