Moonlit Platform allows you to create custom AI tools using a no-code editor. Apps in Moonlit consist of three main parts: Inputs, Functions, and Outputs. This guide will walk you through the process of customizing a template to create your own app.
Key Concepts
App Structure
- Inputs: Located on the left side, these are the user-provided parameters.
- Functions: The middle section, where the app's logic is defined.
- Outputs: Displayed on the right side, showing the results of the app's execution.
Execution Flow
- Apps execute sequentially from left to right.
- Functions in the same column run in parallel; different columns run in sequence.
Data Passing
- Use the double-bracket syntax
{{node_id}} to reference data from other nodes. - Referenced nodes must come before the node referencing them.
Building Your First App
- Start with a Template:
- Choose a template that closely matches your desired functionality.
- Click "Clone App" to create an editable copy.
- Understand the Workflow:
- Examine the existing inputs, functions, and outputs.
- Note how data flows between nodes using the
{{node_id}} syntax.
- Customize the App:
- Add new functions by clicking "Add Function" and selecting from the available options.
- Drag functions to reposition them within the workflow.
- Expand nodes to edit large text fields more easily.
- Configure Nodes:
- Set unique IDs for easy referencing.
- Use the slash key (/) to access reference options in text fields.
- Test Your App:
- Switch to the Test tab and provide sample inputs.
- Run the app to see the results.
- Check the Logs section to track each function's output.
Example: Customizing an SEO Article Generator
In the video, we customize an SEO article generator by:
- Adding a "People Also Ask" function to gather FAQs.
- Integrating the FAQ data into the article outline generation step.
- Testing the app with a sample topic: "How to Leverage Generative AI for Content".

- Analyze competitor article structures
- Automate internal link injection
