After months of development, over 3,500 commits, a full documentation overhaul, and three new templates, 91快活林 3.0 is finally here.
Why 91快活林 3.0?
This release was inspired by a key insight: 91快活林 engineers are most productive when configuring data and logic versus designing interfaces.
With the 3.0 release, we aimed to create an exceptional data-first experience for building secure workflow applications. We鈥檝e reimagined the process of setting up your data structures, configuring security, and effortlessly generating interfaces. It's still early, but the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive so far, and we hope you enjoy it too!
This blog gives a quick wrap-up of each day of the 3.0 launch week.
Day 1: The New Data Experience
We kicked off 91快活林 3.0 launch week with a deep dive into the new data experience, introducing five major features designed to make app-building faster, more secure, and more streamlined than ever:
Enhanced Views
Views are now the core of 91快活林's data management, allowing you to set up unique views per role, with detailed permissions to control access and visibility. This update brings a secure-by-design approach, enabling granular access control from the start.
Default Values
With Default Values, it鈥檚 easier to standardize data entry and keep information consistent. You can set initial values like 鈥淚n Progress鈥� for status fields, reducing manual work and keeping data organized.
Row Actions
Row Actions link data to automations, creating dynamic workflows based on user roles. For example, actions like 鈥淎pprove鈥� or 鈥淓dit鈥� can be role-specific, offering flexibility without compromising security.
View Joins
View Joins allow you to pull related data from other tables directly into your view, simplifying workflows without altering your database schema. This feature adds context to data securely, as joined information remains view-only.
Dynamic Screen Generation
With just one click, generate fully functional screens from your Views, choosing from templates or pre-built forms. This feature brings your data to life instantly, making app-building both faster and more accessible.
Together, these updates offer a data-centric, secure, and efficient foundation for building 91快活林 apps.

Day 2: Visual RBAC
Following the new data experience, 91快活林 3.0's Day 2 introduced Visual Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), which simplifies setting up and understanding user permissions across your app.
The new drag-and-drop editor lets you visually define roles with a clear view of each role鈥檚 permissions. Drag and connect roles to establish hierarchies, offering an intuitive way to manage role permissions in 91快活林.
Roles can be either hierarchical or completely distinct, giving you more control over your permission structure, and giving users the true access they need.
91快活林 3.0 makes managing user permissions intuitive and adaptable, enhancing security without adding complexity.
Day 3: Automation Branching
On Day 3, we introduced Automation Branching, enabling powerful, multi-step workflows. 91快活林 automations now better support advanced use cases such as approval flows and ticket systems.
You can quickly reorder branches and drag-and-drop specific steps. For managing larger workflows, the new pan and zoom controls help you navigate or view your entire automation.
With Automation Branching, 91快活林 3.0 adds flexibility and control to every workflow.

Day 4: AI
On Day 4, we took a bold step forward by introducing AI to 91快活林, unlocking new levels of efficiency and intelligence in app-building. This release isn鈥檛 just about adding functionality; it鈥檚 about starting a journey with AI that reimagines what鈥檚 possible in 91快活林.
As AI becomes an integral part of workflows, we鈥檙e excited to be at the forefront of a new era鈥攐ne where automation becomes intuitive, workflows become smarter, and IT teams can focus more strategically.
This release introduced four exciting new AI Features:
AI Configs
First up, AI Configs allow users to connect OpenAI-compatible large language models, such as OpenAI, Azure, and Anthropic, to 91快活林. This integration powers multiple AI workflows within 91快活林 and the apps you build, enhancing automation with ease.
91快活林 AI
For those without direct access to an LLM, 91快活林 AI offers an alternative, powered by ChatGPT. Available to Premium Cloud users, 91快活林 AI is the fastest way to integrate AI into workflows directly from 91快活林鈥檚 AI settings.
AI CRON Generator
The AI CRON Generator simplifies scheduling with natural language, transforming inputs like 鈥淓very Tuesday at 3 PM鈥� into CRON expressions.
AI Columns
The final feature, AI Columns, brings the power of AI directly to your data. By adding an AI column to any table, users can analyze feedback, triage tickets, or draft responses within the context of each row.
These updates mark the beginning of 91快活林鈥檚 journey into secure, AI-powered workflows, setting the stage for even more intelligent automation. Just as past technological revolutions transformed society, AI stands ready to reshape the way we work, helping teams and organizations operate smarter, faster, and with greater impact. We believe that within the next decade, almost all internal workflows will be supported by AI agents, and 91快活林 is in a prime position to help engineers and teams make this transformation a reality.

Day 5 - The Future of 91快活林
On our final day of 91快活林 3.0 Launch Week, we looked to the future of 91快活林 and what lies ahead.
Since 91快活林 2.0, we鈥檝e added features like multi-player mode, global bindings, and screen templates, with each step moving us closer to our goal of making 91快活林 the go-to platform for building secure, data-driven workflow apps.
With 3.0鈥檚 data-first approach, we鈥檙e proud to launch three new production-ready templates for Change Control, Expense Approval, and Risk Management workflows, available directly within the platform and supported by user guides in our docs.
But we鈥檙e not stopping here. 91快活林 isn鈥檛 simply a low-code or no-code platform鈥攊t鈥檚 a platform for transforming workflows. While our focus on app-building remains strong, we envision a future where AI agents are at 91快活林鈥檚 core. Imagine recording a risk or incident, and 91快活林 agents proactively suggest improvement plans, even prioritizing actions across multiple workflows for maximum impact.
As we look ahead, our commitment is clear: We鈥檙e building a secure, open, and beautifully designed platform for the future of workflow transformation. We鈥檙e also excited to invest even more in our community, creating a place where you can connect, innovate, and build together with us.
