Templates

Start with an operating model, not a blank app.

Templates give coding agents a concrete target: object models, views, permissions, workflows, actions, and AI tools that can be copied, reviewed, adapted, and run in ObjectOS.

Template anatomy

Every template should be readable as a business system

A useful AI app template is more than screens. It names the objects, authorities, workflow transitions, approvals, reports, and agent tools that make the business process governable.

  1. Object model: records, relationships, states, and validations.
  2. Authority model: who can read, write, approve, export, or delegate.
  3. Workflow model: transitions, SLA timers, escalation rules, and approvals.
  4. Agent tools: the safe reads and actions exposed through MCP or in-app AI.

Catalog

Starter applications for common enterprise workflows

These are reference templates, not locked products. Your agent can fork one, change the metadata, and open a diff for review.

Support operations

Helpdesk

Tickets, customers, SLAs, queues, summaries, suggested replies, knowledge retrieval, escalation approvals.

Legal operations

Contracts

Counterparties, obligations, renewals, clause extraction, approval stages, redlines, audit trail.

Spend control

Procurement

Suppliers, requests, POs, receiving, three-way match, budget checks, exception approval.

Revenue and service

CRM case management

Accounts, opportunities, cases, activities, ownership, risk signals, user-scoped AI summaries.

Operations

Manufacturing service

Assets, work orders, parts, maintenance history, downtime reports, field-service recommendations.

Internal apps

Employee service

Requests, policies, approvals, routing, employee data boundaries, internal knowledge retrieval.

Why templates matter

Templates reduce both generation time and review risk

The safest path for AI-built software is not a blank prompt. It is a known operating model where the reviewer can recognize the objects and rules.

Agents inherit naming patterns

Object, field, workflow, and permission names stay consistent, making follow-up changes easier for both humans and models.

Reviewers get a familiar baseline

A template gives IT and business owners a known diff to compare against instead of a novel codebase.

Teams keep ownership

Templates live as source metadata in your repo and can be adapted without waiting for a vendor roadmap.

Review checklist

Template review checklist

  • Can a reviewer understand the object model in five minutes?
  • Are high-risk actions separated from suggestions?
  • Are default permissions conservative?
  • Are audit events named clearly?
  • Can the template run with sample data before touching production?

FAQ

Questions this page should answer

Are templates production systems?

They are starting points. A production deployment should review object names, permissions, workflows, model routing, sample data, integration boundaries, and audit policy.

Can my agent modify a template?

Yes. That is the point: the template gives the agent a strong target format and gives the reviewer a small metadata diff.
