Google AppSheet
What Google AppSheet is
Google AppSheet lets people build applications and automated workflows without writing code. Gemini can turn natural-language descriptions into apps and help improve them. Apps can collect information through forms, barcodes, locations, signatures, and photos, then store it in AppSheet databases. Workflows can send email, SMS, and push notifications using triggers, conditions, and branches. AppSheet connects with services such as Google Workspace, Office 365, Dropbox, Salesforce, BigQuery, SQL databases, Apigee, REST APIs, and OData. Its apps support work in project management, operations, field work, human resources, sales, and marketing, and run on iOS and Android or in mobile and desktop browsers. Mobile apps support offline use with background synchronization; browser use cannot launch offline or cache images and documents offline. AppSheet includes encryption, role-based access controls, security filtering, and usage monitoring. A free plan is available, and paid plans start at $5/user/mo. Prototyping is free for up to 10 users.
