What is an app?
An app is a complete business application built on ERP•AI, such as a CRM, a procurement system, an HRMS, or a full ERP. Each app lives inside an organization and has its own data, screens, automations, and access rules.

Ways to get an app
- Install a published app from Browse Apps. It’s ready in about a minute.
- Create an app from scratch and build it yourself.
- Ask Proto, the AI agent, to build it from a description.
You can combine these approaches. For example, install a published CRM and then ask Proto to add a custom approval flow.
