Workshop Cloud is the browser-based version of Workshop. Your code runs in a managed cloud sandbox, so you can start building from any device with nothing to install. It’s designed for building data apps — interactive dashboards, internal tools, reports, and prototypes — with an integrated preview pane and one-click publishing.

​
Key Capabilities

Build apps conversationally

Describe what you want in plain language. Workshop writes the code, runs it, and shows you the result.

Live preview pane

See your app update in real time on the right side of the screen as Workshop builds it. No switching tabs or hunting for localhost URLs.

Connect your data

Link databases, warehouses, Google Sheets, and file uploads. Use them across conversations with the @ mention selector.

One-click publish

Deploy your app to a shareable URL with a single click. Anyone with the link can use it — no setup required on their end.

​
How It Works

Your project runs in a cloud VM — Workshop writes and executes code inside that VM, not on your local machine.
  • You own everything you create and can download project files at any time
  • Start a project on one device, pick it up from another
  • No dependency management, no environment setup, no “works on my machine” issues
The preview pane on the right-hand side automatically shows your running app as you build. When Workshop detects you’re building something visual — a dashboard, a form, a chart — it opens the preview and keeps it synced with your latest code.

​
Supported Tech Stacks

When you create a new project, you choose a starting template:
TemplateBest For
HTML + Python (default)Dashboards, data apps, and interactive tools with custom layouts. Uses FastAPI for the backend and HTML/CSS/JS for the frontend.
StreamlitRapid analytics apps with built-in UI components. Great for data exploration, KPI trackers, and chart-heavy applications.
Blank (None)Start from scratch with an empty project. Maximum flexibility — build anything that runs in a cloud VM.
Not sure which to pick? HTML + Python is the most versatile starting point. You can always change direction later by telling Workshop what you want.

​
Who It’s For

Workshop Cloud is ideal when you want to:
  • Prototype quickly — Go from idea to working app in minutes, not days
  • Build data apps — Dashboards, explorers, reports, and internal tools
  • Share instantly — Publish with one click and send a link to stakeholders
  • Work from anywhere — Build from any browser on any device, with no local setup

​
Workshop Cloud vs Desktop

Workshop Cloud is focused on data apps with a streamlined build-preview-publish workflow. If you need full-stack flexibility — different programming languages, local file system access, custom frameworks, or local AI models — use Workshop Desktop. You can sync projects down from Workshop Cloud to Desktop at any time. See Cloud vs Desktop for a detailed comparison.
