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

1. Start with a Template:

   • Choose a template that closely matches your desired functionality.

   • Click "Clone App" to create an editable copy.

2. Understand the Workflow:

   • Examine the existing inputs, functions, and outputs.

   • Note how data flows between nodes using the {{node_id}} syntax.

3. 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.

4. Configure Nodes:

   • Set unique IDs for easy referencing.

   • Use the slash key (/) to access reference options in text fields.

5. 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:

1. Adding a "People Also Ask" function to gather FAQs.

2. Integrating the FAQ data into the article outline generation step.

3. Testing the app with a sample topic: "How to Leverage Generative AI for Content".
