Workshop Cloud is the browser-based version of Workshop. Start building from any device — nothing to install, nothing to configure. It’s designed for building data apps — interactive dashboards, internal tools, reports, and prototypes — with an integrated live preview 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 running in real time on the right side of the screen as Workshop builds it. No switching tabs or hunting for a local URL.

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. Control whether it’s public or limited to specific people — Workshop handles hosting and access.

How It Works

Workshop writes and executes code in the cloud, not in your browser.
  • 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 live preview pane

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. You see exactly what your users will see, updated in real time, without leaving the conversation.

Supported Tech Stacks

When you create a new project, you choose a starting template:
TemplateBest For
Web App / Website (default)Fullstack apps with a Python backend and modern web frontend. The most extensible option — supports a wide range of libraries and frameworks.
StreamlitPython-native data apps with charts, tables, and interactivity built in. Great for data exploration, KPI trackers, and chart-heavy applications.
AnythingBuild virtually anything in the cloud. Use this for projects that don’t fit a preset stack.
Import from GitHubStart from an existing repository.
Not sure which to pick? Web App / Website is the most versatile starting point.

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 optimized for 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.
