At Deplyr, our goal is to make deploying internal business apps as simple as possible. In a new demo video, I showcase how easy it is to build a quote generator in under five minutes using Deplyr’s AI capabilities, Google Sheets integration, and flexible backend actions.

You can watch the full video (a little over 3 minutes) here: https://youtu.be/cgebEyMi3fA

From Spreadsheet to App – Fast

In the demo, I start with a basic Google Sheet containing product pricing and a customer database. Using Deplyr, I quickly spin up a quote generator app—without writing complex backend code. The AI-powered editor makes app creation intuitive:

1. Generating the App: I describe what I need—a simple tool to select products and calculate a quote—and Deplyr sets up the app instantly.

2. Editing with AI: Tweaking the layout, I'm able to make a quick edit in real-time using AI.

3. Connecting to Google Sheets: With built-in backend actions, the app pulls product pricing dynamically from my sheet.

Seamless Business Integration

Although the video focuses on Google Sheets, Deplyr also integrates with Airtable, making it just as easy for businesses tracking customers and orders there. If your team relies on Airtable, you can build a similar quote generator without needing to code.

Built-in Authentication & Sharing

While the demo doesn’t cover authentication, Deplyr enables secure sharing within your business—so team members can access the app effortlessly with built-in auth controls. No messy setup required.

A Simple Example, but Limitless Potential

This demo is just scratching the surface. With more time, this quote builder could be enhanced with:

Customer-specific pricing

Tax & discount calculations

PDF generation for sending quotes

More advanced UI customization
