Chapter 1 introduces the foundational concepts behind building AI Apps in Sigma, with a focus on how apps integrate user input to drive action-based workflows. A major emphasis is placed on linked input tables, one of the most important building blocks for Sigma apps. You explore how to create linked input tables that display warehouse data alongside user-entered values, enabling direct interaction with underlying datasets. The chapter also covers best practices for governing user input, including controlling which data types can be entered and defining when tables are editable. By the end of this chapter, you’ll have a strong understanding of how to safely and effectively collect user input while maintaining data integrity within your app.

In Chapter 2, you learn how to make your AI apps more interactive and responsive by using modals and action sequences. Modals allow you to present focused pop-up windows within your app, giving users access to additional information or providing a space for more detailed input without cluttering the main interface. You see how modals can improve usability and guide users through specific tasks. The chapter also introduces action sequences, which enable apps to respond dynamically to user actions such as clicking a button or selecting a table row. You learn how to trigger multiple effects from a single interaction, helping automate workflows and streamline user experiences. Together, modals and action sequences give you powerful tools to build apps that feel intuitive, interactive, and purposeful.

Chapter 3 focuses on refining the user interface and overall experience of your AI apps. You begin by learning about popovers, a versatile UI element used to hide filter menus or display contextual information only when it’s needed. This helps keep apps clean while still providing users with easy access to controls and details. The chapter also explores a range of design and organizational features that enhance both usability and visual appeal. You learn how to incorporate navigational buttons, dividers and tabbed containers to structure content and guide users through your app more effectively. By the end of Chapter 3, you’ll understand how thoughtful layout and design choices can make your AI apps more intuitive, polished, and enjoyable to use.
