Create an AI Tool

Build your own AI-powered tools for specific tasks. Choose between manual creation or AI-assisted generation.

You can create AI Tools in two ways: manually (write your own prompt) or using AI generation (describe what you want and AI creates the tool).

Starting Tool Creation

1

Navigate to Tools

Go to AI Studio → Tools → Explore

2

Click Design an AI Tool

Click the "Design an AI Tool" button.

Click 'Design an AI Tool' to start creating

Creation Methods

The Design Tool dialog offers three tabs:

Choose Create manually, Start with Template, or Create using AI

Option 1: Create Manually

Best when you know exactly what you want:

  1. Enter a Name for your tool
  2. Add a Description of what it does
  3. Optionally upload an icon
  4. Click "Customize this tool"

Option 2: Start with Template

Begin with a pre-built template and customize it:

  1. Browse available templates
  2. Select one that's close to what you need
  3. Modify the name, description, and prompt

Option 3: Create using AI

Describe what you want and let AI build it:

  1. Type a description (e.g., "Creates recovery emails to reduce cart abandonment")
  2. AI generates a complete tool with prompt and fields
  3. Review and customize as needed
Create using AI tab with description field
Describe your tool and let AI generate it for you
Tip:
Use "Create using AI" when you have a clear use case but aren't sure how to write the prompt. You can always refine it afterward.

Tool Editor

After creating the initial tool, you'll be taken to the tool editor where you configure the prompt and input fields.

Note:
Published tools can be used by others based on permissions. Test thoroughly before publishing to ensure the tool produces quality outputs.

Prompt Writing Tips

  • Be specific — Clearly describe the desired output format
  • Use placeholders — Reference input fields with {{field_name}}
  • Add examples — Show the AI what good output looks like
  • Set constraints — Specify length, tone, and style requirements
  • Test variations — Try different inputs to ensure consistent quality
