If you joined today’s Anvil User Group, you are probably as excited as we are. If you missed it, here is the gist:
Build with AI in the Anvil Editor!
You can now use AI agents to build Anvil apps in the Editor. Connect your ChatGPT or Claude account and start prompting, even on their free plan.
The agent in Anvil understands how Anvil apps are structured, so it builds everything in the Python you know and with the tools you are familiar with.
Read more in the blog post or check out the docs. You can also explore the open-sourced skills used by the agent.
Build custom, on-brand UIs with HTML Components
You now have access to view and edit your Form’s underlying HTML from the Anvil Editor. This lets you combine HTML elements and Anvil components in the same Form, giving you much more control over your UI.
You can also style HTML elements from the Designer and dynamically in code. You still have drag-and-drop in the Designer and can move HTML elements around visually.
If you were previously using the now-legacy Custom HTML Forms and HTML Templates, or you want to try this approach, have a look at the docs:
Both features are available in the latest version of the App Server.
We can’t wait to see what you build. Let us know what you think and share your creations below!
