Yes. In **Jestor**, you can use an existing app or table as a base and ask the AI to create a new version with specific adjustments, instead of building everything again from the start.

### Why this option saves time

Often the team already has a similar process running, but needs a variation — a CRM for a different area, for example. Rebuilding from scratch means losing the structure that already worked; cloning and adjusting is faster and reduces errors.

### Ways to reuse an existing app in Jestor

- Duplicating an existing table, with or without the records
- Using a table as a base and letting the AI suggest additional fields
- Cloning an entire application, without affecting the original
- Asking the AI to generate an app "similar to X, but with Y different"

### How to recreate an app with AI from an existing one

1. In the creation modal, choose "use a table" or "use another application" as the base
2. Select the existing process to use as a reference
3. Describe the specific changes you want applied
4. The AI generates the new version, keeping the original structure as a starting point

### Process automation that reuses what already works

This logic of cloning and adjusting, instead of recreating from scratch, is especially useful for **SMBs** that replicate the same type of process across different areas — like an approval control used in both finance and sales, with small field variations.

### Table Summary

| Way to reuse          | What happens                                             | Affects the original? |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| **Duplicate table**   | Creates a copy with or without the records               | No                    |
| **Clone app**         | Generates a new app identical to the original            | No                    |
| **Use as an AI base** | AI suggests adjustments on top of the existing structure | No                    |
