App SDK is React. If you know hooks, you know this. Three hooks handle most of what you need: useDocuments to fetch filtered collections useDocument to read a single document that stays current useEditDocument for optimistic writes that sync to Content Lake Developer experience Typegen turns your schema into types automatically Vite dev environment for fast iteration and hot reload Deploy with a single sanity deploy command

Some workflows need their own interface. Build focused content apps for exactly one job. Translations dashboard Filter untranslated content, batch-select for translation, and track locale status from a single view.

Marketplace feeds Assign products to marketplaces, track publish status, and keep feeds updated without spreadsheets. Marketplace feeds Assign products to marketplaces, track publish status, and keep feeds updated without spreadsheets. App SDK is typed React hooks on top of your content model. AI tools already know how to write React. Give them your schema, and they know how to write your app. "Build me an app that shows all our store locations in a grid, with their hours editable inline. Group by region and highlight any stores with missing hours." What makes it work Your schema provides the types (stores, hours, regions) The SDK provides predictable patterns ( useDocuments , useDocument , useEditDocument ) You provide the requirements; AI connects the dots The result: Working code that matches your content model, not generic boilerplate you have to rewire. Custom apps isn't just where content lives — it's where work gets done. Trigger translations, approve publishes, route products to marketplaces, all without leaving the editor. The infrastructure advantage Real-time feedback lets editors see automation status update instantly. No polling. No "check back later." Inherited permissions mean the same roles control both content access and action triggers. No separate auth system. Content as state means your documents are the workflow state. A translation's status lives in the document. An approval flag is a field. No shadow database to sync.
