This beginner tutorial introduces Budibase as an open source low-code platform for internal tools and business applications. The walkthrough starts with account creation and the workspace dashboard, then moves into the visual app builder. It follows an account-based workflow; it does not demonstrate a self-hosted installation or how to run models locally.

The presenter creates an application called Bronx and explores components, navigation and database connections. Several blocks need data before they can be added. After introducing sample data, the tutorial returns to the app to select a dark theme, add text and configure a form titled "to book an appointment." The form includes contact and employee fields, which the presenter shows how to customize. A brief chart section covers chart types and the need for a dataset.

The tutorial also opens the beta agent creation screen and creates a support agent. The presenter describes agents as components for background tasks, but does not demonstrate a working AI agent workflow or configure a model. The final section previews the application and uses the publish button. This is an introductory tour of the builder rather than a detailed deployment guide or an evaluation of AI performance.
