What Google AppSheet is
Google AppSheet is a no-code platform for creating apps and automations. Gemini can turn natural-language descriptions into app drafts and help refine apps. 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. Integrations include Google Workspace, Office 365, Dropbox, Salesforce, BigQuery, SQL databases, Apigee, REST APIs, and OData. AppSheet is used for project management, operations, field work, human resources, sales, and marketing. Apps run on iOS and Android, as well as mobile and desktop web browsers. Mobile apps can work offline with background synchronization; browser use cannot launch offline or cache images and documents for offline use. Security features include encryption, role-based access controls, security filtering, and usage monitoring. A free prototype can be used by up to 10 people.
