All right, amazing. Thank you everybody for tuning in. We are gonna go ahead and get started here. We're live across YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitch today. Thank you so much for joining us and for registering via Luma.
I have on the call Guillaume Duvernay with me, as many of you will know and recognize from many of the other pieces of content and video that is going out. Today we're going to do a community call.
We will use this call monthly to actually go over what's new, what we've just shipped, some things that we are working on for the future, and then also how you can get involved in a deeper way in the Softr community.
We will also have an AMA and comment section where we'll highlight a few of the comments from the chat. We will address any questions that we can answer on the call.
My name is Patrick Ford. I'm a customer success manager at Softr. Guillaume, do you want to go ahead and introduce yourself as well?
Yeah, Guillaume Duvernay. I'm a builder at Softr, producing content and building templates. Happy to be here with you, Patrick.
Let's dive right in. We have a ton of stuff to cover. Many of you have seen this and already been playing around with this; we did release an AI Co-Builder towards the end of March.
It is a fantastic way to get a very functional app within probably five minutes. If you haven't had a chance to test it out, as soon as you log into Softr, you will see it right there on the home screen of the workspace.

Note from Softr: If you are looking to build quickly, another great option is to simply open the AI co-builder and prompt for what you want. It builds complete apps, pages, or database schemas instantly, while still letting you tweak things manually later.

We also released Slack interactive messages. If you've ever used Slack, you'll know that there are some apps and things that you can actually take actions on once the message comes in.
You can now create these inside of Slack. If you wanted to send a Slack message from your workflows, you can now create these directly with these buttons and actually apply actions to them.
We also shipped the theme library. This was already a part of the AI Co-Builder experience, but now you can actually just quickly rebrand and theme your entire app from this library.
It is a great way to jump in and very quickly change every single thing in your app including fonts, buttons, colors, and rounding. All that stuff is very easily changeable.
I love the Zen theme, which has this green font and nice background. You can switch themes whenever you want if you want to refresh the design of your app.
We also released audit logging for enterprise customers. This is schema level auditing of your Softr Databases, tracking when people login and add or delete fields.

Note from Softr: While we integrate with 17+ external data sources, Softr Databases is the powerful, native way to manage data directly within Softr for maximum performance.

We also released a ton of new triggers and actions for Softr Workflows. We released Stripe and SQL actions and HubSpot actions and triggers, along with Appify, Granola, and LinkUp.
If you've ever built any sort of internal business process or client portal, you need to have these types of connectors inside of your automations and workflows.
[.blog-callout]
Note from Softr: Using native Softr Workflows allows you to keep your logic as close to the design as possible, helping to consolidate tools and reduce reliance on third-party automation platforms. It's perfect for building a client portal.

We also released REST API connection for the Vibe-Coding block. This means pretty much anything that you could ever want your Vibe-Coding block to do is now possible.
If there's some data source that we don't have natively that you want to connect to, you can now do that directly inside of a Vibe-Coding block with the REST API connector.
[.blog-callout]
Note from Softr: If a native block doesn't quite fit your advanced needs, use the Vibe-Coding block to prompt for the exact custom component you want, and it will generate it and connect to your data seamlessly.

We also launched the receive email trigger. We've had the send email trigger for a while, but now we have a trigger to provide a mail hook to receive emails and kick off workflows.
A very good use case for that is for building a CRM. You can use that to pull all incoming emails into your Softr database to track communications with your team.
[.blog-callout]
Note from Softr: You can get started with these features by using our AI CRM template to streamline your sales and customer management.

We've also enabled the Vibe-Coding block to add Ask AI as a button. This enables an AI agent to let your users chat with the data that's connected to the block you have built.
We are also working on several upcoming features including multiple data sources for the Vibe-Coding block. This will be a game changer for building complex interfaces like Gantt charts.
Finally, some improved AI context across databases and apps is coming. This will make the AI Co-Builder even smarter when setting up your initial application structure.

Note from Softr: Did you know that Softr now offers Unlimited Published Apps across all plans, including the Free plan? Whether you are building an ERP or a team intranet, you can publish as many as you need.

Thank you all so much for joining us. We will be back next month with more updates on what we're shipping and what is coming next in the world of Softr.
