Omnibar

The Omnibar is your all-in-one access point for Thunkable’s AI-powered tools, designed to help you build and edit your app faster and more intuitively. Located inside the Project Editor, the Omnibar consolidates key AI features like StyleAI, AI Debugger, AI Chat Helper, and Rewrite This into a single, easy-to-access menu.

Whether you're looking to generate content, redesign a screen, debug app behavior, or refine copy, the Omnibar brings these capabilities together so you can stay focused and productive. This guide will walk you through what each icon in the Omnibar does and how to use them effectively in your project.

Using the Omnibar: Design vs. Blocks Tab

The Omnibar adapts depending on whether you’re in the Design or Blocks tab of the Project Editor. While the Design tab focuses on layout and visual components, the Blocks tab enables AI-assisted block generation.

How it works:

  1. Click the icon to open the AI input box.

  2. Type a prompt describing what you want your app to do. Example:

    • Text: when the screen opens, set its background color to green

    • Expression: 1 + 2 * 3

  3. AI will interpret your prompt and suggest corresponding blocks.

  4. Click the upward arrow to submit your prompt.

  5. Use the suggested blocks directly in your app!
