This feature appears to be being rolled out gradually.
I believe we need to wait regardless of plan or region.
Hi @goannsplain
Gemini in my environment in AppSheet was powerful!?
I used to have to adopt or reject the boiler template presented by the prompt, but now I can make additional changes to tables and columns.
Also, my native language is Japanese, and I was able to not only understand the Japanese prompts, but also specify Japanese in the template app (although this seems to require a little ingenuity in writing the prompts)!
I have a few wishes.
With the addition of columns, the creation of Ref items is Link to.
This seems to inherit the UI of AppSheet Database, but when App Creator develops an application, it is confusing if the terminology is not unified.
I would like to have it changed to Ref in this UI menu.
Demo data is included in the application to be created, but I would like to be able to add sample images here.
Currently, no matter what prompt is specified, demo data containing images is not created.
The current Start with an idea feature creates the following app. These will help citizen developers envision use cases as they develop their first app.


Thanks!
Hi @goannsplain
The prompt of the generator was confirmed to be recorded in Information->Description.
This is very good. ![]()
No need to bother to note what prompt was used to create it.
Hi @goannsplain
Immediately after creating an app in Gemini in AppSheet, a default folder is not created in Google Drive.
For citizen developers, you may be wondering if and where your app is actually created.
Also, if a citizen developer wants to create a new Google Sheet as an additional data source in addition to ASDB, the citizen developer will be confused if the folder listed in the default path does not exist.
Hi @goannsplain
I have created several Gemini in AppSheet applications.
There are many advantages over Start with an idea. ![]()
However, I believe that sample images are still very important in the first stage of getting citizen developers to use it.
I have guided many citizen developers to AppSheet.
Citizen developers are very surprised and pleased when they see that Start with an idea creates a master table that includes sample images.
I am hopeful that similar functionality will be added to Gemini in AppSheet.
I don’t know if it is feasible there, but I would like them to hear one idea.
I believe Google has Imagen as the very engine to generate the images.
Would it be possible to add images created by Imagen in Gemini in AppSheet?
However, I understand that it would be very costly to generate nearly 20 images each time an app is generated in Gemini in AppSheet.
Therefore, images created using Gemini in AppSheet are stored on the server as images available to everyone and tagged.
When an app is generated with a similar theme, the saved images are used, and only when a new app is generated with a new theme, new images are generated.
In this way, we believe it will be possible to generate sample images with Imagen while keeping the cost of generation low.
Also, for Google, the history of what images were created by citizen developer-generated apps would be valuable data.
MS’s Image Creator picks up images created in the past as examples as Explore ideas.
It would be great to have such an image library ready and available in Gemini in AppSheet.

We don’t have a schedule that we can share but we are moving as quickly as we can. I know it’s tough when it’s a feature you want to try out! Since you have Google Workspace Enterprise Plus, you could try the Gemini in AppSheet Chat app but you will need your Workspace Admin to allow you to install the app: https://support.google.com/appsheet/answer/13785572?hl=en
If you have an AppSheet Core license, you should already have the feature available to you; but if you have AppSheet Core entitlement through your Workspace license, you won’t have it until later this year.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the feature and thanks for all the great thoughts and feedback! Images can certainly be powerful, especially when trying to envision your app and something we can investigate.
Hi @goannsplain
I see that Gemini in AppSheet is not available to those under 18 years of age.
This may not be an option at this time, but is there any possibility of a relaxation?
I am interested in using Gemini in AppSheet because Google Workspace for Education Plus comes bundled with AppSheet Core, and I believe there are many students under 18 who would like to use Gemini in AppSheet.
I also think that Gemini in AppSheet would be a valuable tool for them to learn basic data models.
Is this due to the fact that the Gemini API prohibits use by those under 18 years of age in the first place?
https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms
AppSheet itself isn’t supported for under-18s, unfortunately. While we do have educational customers, they are using it for their staff app development, not so much for student education.
Gemini does have limitations for under 18 users as well, but I’m not as familiar with those.
Bye RTFM ![]()
Thanks @zito
I see.
So AppSheet itself places restrictions on use by those under 18 years of age.
There was a related thread.
This is no longer a topic for Gemini in AppSheet, but if you could reflect that in the Term of Services, I think it would reduce the number of people who misunderstand.
I suspect you are probably right that Gemini also places restrictions on under 18s, but I was just explaining tht I am not sufficiently familiar with those terms of service (and they are evolving rapidly) for me to say one way or another.
As far as the under 18 support goes, I went back and reviewed the documentation from when we made the decision to block under-18s, and it looks like we have made a lot of progress on the requirements to remove that block. I’ll bring this up with our internal legal counsel and get their thoughts.
Hi @goannsplain
I know it is still being tweaked, but I will share my feedback using Gemini in AppSheet along with common use cases.
I created an app with the following text.
I want to create an application to manage tasks for the entire team.
Two tables will be used, one for tasks and one for users.
Create a User table with only an Email column, and create a Task Owner column in the Task table to reference the User table.
Please prepare Slice and a View using it to provide My Page for users.
It is a simple app to manage tasks with a team.
In this case, we often use Email with respect to the Key of the user table.
However, I have never been able to create the app I expect because the current Gemini in AppSheet always tries to create an ID column.
I would like Gemini to be a little more flexible regarding Key settings.
Also, I have never been able to set up Slice even when I have instructed them to create it.
Slice creation is the first part that is difficult for citizen developers to understand.
I think it would be a powerful help to citizen developers if Gemini could suggest sample Slice use cases.
In addition, since the slice is not created with the email as the key, existing slice creation assistance functions do not suggest that the task owner is the user’s own email.
Hi @goannsplain
To begin with, since ASDB is specified as the data source by default in Gemini in AppSheet, the ID row may be almost unnecessary.
I would prefer that an app be created that simply specifies the Row ID as the Key.
On top of that, if we want to set something other than Row ID as Key, it would be nice to be able to specify it at the prompt.
@goannsplain QUESTION :
I have access to Appsheet by my Google Workspace subscription
If I understand wel if I want to acces to "AI-assisted app creation with Gemini in AppSheet. " I need to subscribe an appsheet core account (by the way I’m in France)
am I right ?
Thank you in advance for your answer
@Rolland83
If you are on a paying Google Workspace subscription, you have an AppSheet Core account already - no need to create a subscription separately.
@zito Thanx for your answer
So when do you think I’ll have access to "AI-assisted app creation with Gemini in AppSheet from my google Workspace paid plan ?
I’m in France
Thank you in advance for you answer
In the next month or so, I believe - it’s tied to the rollout of some workspace administrative controls for generative AI features, so we’re a little beholden to their timeline for rollout.
We will have a change coming soon that will set RowID as the key by default.
