Createrun is an enterprise application development platform. Its framework provides application building blocks, while development tools on your instance help organize projects and AI work. The capabilities below focus on framework applications; the development environment also supports work on other technology stacks.

At a glance

Platform at a glance

Six capabilities in brief. Each card links to the details.

AI

The Createrun Agent

The Createrun Agent works in the Editor. A separate MCP connection lets compatible external AI clients work on supported application objects. Operation coverage and review behavior depend on the chosen path and release.

Deploy anywhere

Your infrastructure or ours

Available

The same package installs on our managed cloud or in your own data center. Signed, verified packages mean what you install is exactly what was published.

Inside the platform
Development

Your development environment

Available

AppClient is required for Createrun project compilation. Its Visual Studio and VS Code extensions support local authoring and debugging. Project files and custom source written by your team or an AI tool remain editable; modeled framework functionality is delivered as compiled DLLs.

Ways of working
Process engine

Approvals that run themselves

Available

Model approval steps and exception paths visually. Build state-preserving workflows that can resume after interruption, and review connected services and external effects for the process you design.

Process engine details
Identity

Sign-in that fits your enterprise

Available

OpenID Connect single sign-on through the built-in identity provider. Every organization's users and data are scoped by organization.

Security & trust

Work through the tools that fit the task

Choose an external AI client connected through MCP, the Createrun Agent inside the Editor, or manual visual design with custom extensions where needed. The methods share application objects without promising identical operation coverage. Use the development environment to retain project knowledge and coordinate work across sessions.

01 · BUSINESS APPLICATIONS

Build business applications without writing the plumbing

Forms, data models, screens, and validation rules become real, typed code. You design the application your team needs, such as customer records, purchase requests, inventory counts, or approval queues, and Createrun turns it into a working application using reusable framework services. Fields can be computed, conditional, or data-bound, and those rules travel with the application wherever it is installed.

In practice, the people who understand the process build the application, and your engineers can add custom components, providers or GateMethods when the project needs them.

  • Strongly typed from the screen to the database, so a value keeps its meaning along the way
  • Validation and business rules live in one place and apply on every screen
  • Computed, conditional, and data-bound fields need no custom scripting
  • Project files and custom source authored by your team or AI remain editable; modeled framework functionality is delivered as DLLs

02 · WORKFLOWS & APPROVALS

Model the process and verify its execution

Design workflows visually with human approvals, decision rules and execution history. Build flows that preserve process state and resume after interruption when needed. Recovery of external transactional effects depends on the workflow and integration design.

A reusable process definition gives departments a common starting point. Adapt approval roles and delegation to the organization, and include failure handling in the acceptance tests. Ask to see the specific workflow you intend to deliver.

  • Human approval steps wherever your policy requires them
  • Full execution history per record: who approved what, and when
03 · THE CREATERUN AGENT

Describe a change, then review it before it ships

Describe the change you want (a new field, a report, a validation rule, or a whole approval process) and the Createrun Agent builds it on the same platform and under the same rules as your human builders. You review and approve before anything reaches production.

The Agent proposes supported changes for your team to inspect. Review and application behavior depend on the operation and tool path. Public capability matrix: Planned Until then, use a test environment and the release notes to confirm the tasks you need.

04 · STORE & RELEASES
Publish flow

Release signed packages your customers can verify

Each application is released as a signed, versioned package, and the Createrun Store verifies the signature before the package is installed anywhere. You can publish to a private catalog for your own organization or list the app in the Createrun Store. Customers install apps directly from the Createrun Store.

What you approved is what gets installed. A package cannot be silently altered between your release and your customer's server, because every install verifies it before a single file lands. Updates are staged before they apply, with best-effort rollback.

  • Versioned, signed package format, verified on every install
  • Licenses bound to a specific installation, so there are no uncontrolled copies
  • A private catalog for your own organization is available today
  • Free apps published under your own publisher profile

How publishing works 

05 · REPORTS, QUERIES & DOCUMENTS

Report on the data you already have

Queries, reports, and dashboards run against the databases your company operates today, so there is no migration project first. Analysts author them visually or ask the Createrun Agent. Results export to CSV and Excel. PDF export Planned

Reporting lands where the data lives, whether that is the database you have run for a decade or the cloud storage you adopted last year. Database compatibility depends on the provider and query; the current provider list and its compatibility status are kept on the Integrations page.

  • Documents are stored where you choose (local disk, network share, or cloud storage) with versioning and an audit trail
  • Reports run on a schedule, on demand, or when data changes

06 · IDENTITY & INTEGRATION
Createrun identity and integration: single sign-on, organization scoping, systems that plug in

Connect the systems you already run

ERP, CRM, identity, storage, and messaging systems plug in without a rip-and-replace project. OpenID Connect single sign-on runs through the built-in identity provider.

Connect sign-in to the supported identity path and configure application access for your organization. Single sign-on and application authorization have different responsibilities; map roles and access rules explicitly.

  • Single sign-on with your existing corporate identity
  • Role-based access with default and custom roles per organization
  • Step-up multi-factor authentication, configurable at the application layer; at the identity layer Planned
