What are Apps?
Build interactive web apps with AI — fraction games, science simulators, quizzes, and more — then deploy, share, and remix them.
Last updated Sep 6, 2026
Apps are small interactive web experiences (HTML/CSS/JS) you create inside Zense
AI. Students can play them in the browser; teachers can deploy a public link,
publish to a school gallery, or share a duplicate code for colleagues to import.
Apps sit alongside Chat, Tutors, and Tools — they are ideal when you want a
repeatable activity students open and use, not just a one-off conversation.
Where to find Apps
- Sidebar → Apps — browse, create, import, and manage your apps.
- Home — quick-action card jumps straight to Apps.
- Chat — turn on the APP button in the composer to build with AI (see
Apps in Chat). - Public link — deployed apps open at a shareable URL (no login required to
play).
Three galleries
The Apps directory has three scope tabs:
| Tab | What you see |
|---|---|
| My Apps | Apps you created or imported |
| My School | Apps published to your school gallery |
| Public | Community apps (after admin approval for public publish) |
Filter by subject, grade level, or search by name. Switch grid or
list view.
App statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Code saved, not deployed yet |
| Deployed | Live public link is active |
| Undeployed changes | You edited code after last deploy — redeploy to update the link |
| Pending approval | Submitted to the public gallery — waiting for school admin |
| Published | Live in a school or public gallery |
Each app can have a linked chat — the conversation where Chat helped you build
or edit it.
Who can use Apps
- Teachers and students can create, import, and play apps (school policies may
limit publishing). - School admins review public publish requests under School Management →
Apps (see School Apps moderation).
Continue with Create & deploy an app, Browse, share & import, or
