Feature Request: Export Element Tree as Text for AI-Assisted Development

I recently discovered a very practical way to get AI assistance for building pages in Bubble.

I asked something like: “Help me implement a popup for link sharing when the user clicks the Share project button. The sharing should have options X, Y, Z. Present your suggestion as an element tree.”

The AI suggested something like:

This approach made it much faster and easier to create layouts—something that would have taken me significantly longer to implement and probably wouldn’t have turned out as good. I’ve been able to create pages with very interesting layouts this way.

Feature Request

If we had an option to right-click on an element and export it as text (hierarchical tree), we could feed AI with context and ask for suggestions to improve our layouts.

An example export would look like:

ShareProjectPopup (col, width 500px, border radius 12px, background #E8E9F3, type of content Project, padding 20px, gap 5px)
└── Group header (row, padding 12px)
    ├── Group header left (row, gap 5px)
    │   ├── Icon share-network (color #30323D, 24px)
    │   └── Text share project (20px bold)
    └── Group header right (row)
...

We could not iterate inside repeating groups/tables/reusables for now, only display it as a single node.

Benefits

This would significantly accelerate Bubble development with AI assistance, which is currently still a major bottleneck. The ability to:

  • Export existing element structures for AI analysis
  • Get AI suggestions based on actual element hierarchies
  • Quickly iterate on layouts with AI-generated improvements
  • Share element structures with team members or the community in a readable format

Would make Bubble development much more efficient with external AI tools.

What are you thoughts on this?

Buildprint can do this :slight_smile:

Yeah I’ve been asking for this for a while. Same for workflows/actions/conditions. Just need a “copy to markdown” button. This should ideally be native.

Same here, been asking for this, started as suggesting this for api connections, but overall it is needed for everything
