How to create tables, kanbans, and forms by combining ready-made models, cloning, and guided AI
For each type of structure — table, kanban, form, or app —, Jestor offers three creation paths: from scratch, for those who already know their way around; cloning a table or process that already exists; or letting the AI build it from a guided description.
Why is having three ways to create tables and kanbans useful?
Before, creating something in Jestor meant either building it field by field from scratch or handing everything to the AI at once. Having all three options side by side solves different cases: those who want speed, those who already have a base to reuse, and those who want to be guided without losing control of the result.
How does creation work for each type of structure?
- Table based on another: choose an existing table, decide whether the records are copied or not, and name the new table.
- Table with AI: describe the process and pre-select a few key fields; the AI fills in the rest.
- New kanban: can be born from an existing table or created with AI, letting the AI suggest the stages.
- New form: can pull fields from an existing table or start blank.
- New app: lets you guide the AI in more detail — background color, image, which visual components should appear.
| Method | How it works |
|---|---|
| Cloning | Reuses an existing table's structure |
| AI-guided build | A text description becomes a full structure |
| From scratch | Manual, field-by-field build |
To create a new structure:
- Trigger the creation flow and choose the type of structure — table, kanban, form, or app.
- Choose to clone an existing one, build with AI, or start from scratch.
- Wait for the full generation before editing, if using AI.
Why choose Jestor to build structures quickly?
Having all three creation methods side by side means someone unfamiliar with Jestor can still build something functional quickly, while power users still have the option to go straight to the point.
Frequently asked questions
Does cloning a table also copy its records?
That's optional — you can choose whether existing records are copied or not.
Can the AI make mistakes when building an app from scratch?
It can produce something generic with little context; the more detail in the description, the more precise the result tends to be.
Can I edit it after creating it through any of the three methods?
Yes, all three open in build mode for further editing, with no restriction.
Does this creation process apply to tables, kanbans, and forms at the same time?
Each type of structure has its own creation screen, but the three methods repeat across all of them.
