Plain language is perfect—there is no need to write a technical specification.
- The client journey from trigger to completion
- Every user role and what it may see, change or approve

Component.app AI creates the connected application: the client-facing UI, internal management pages, database structure, authentication, user roles, permissions and workflow logic. It also connects page actions to records, statuses and the next internal response.
For a focused brief, the first version can be ready in a few minutes.

What should you know about test and Publish Your Portal?
Open the test URL and work through the journey as each role.
- Check the invitation and sign-in experience, including expired access.
- Verify every role against the permission matrix from Part 1.
- Test empty states, long text, mobile actions and validation errors.
- Confirm that each client action creates the expected team response.
If testing reveals an issue, describe the expected result in the editor chat and let the AI adjust the app. Retest until the workflow passes, then publish the portal to its live URL and connect your custom domain, such as portal.yourcompany.com.

Can AI build the database and permissions for a client portal?+
Component.app AI can generate the data model, authentication, user roles, permissions, interfaces and workflow logic from an agreed brief. You should still test every role and important access boundary before launch.

A focused first version can be generated in a few minutes after the requirements and build plan are confirmed. Testing, data migration, integrations and production preparation depend on the workflow's complexity.
