Adding Apps to Your Project
Apps are the building blocks of your project in Giant Context. Each app is a self-contained module that adds a specific set of capabilities — a website builder, an email marketing platform, a CRM, and more. You choose which apps your project needs, and Giant Context wires everything together. Think of apps as tools in a toolbox: you pick the ones that fit the job.
Available apps
Apps are the building blocks of your project in Giant Context. Each app is a self-contained module that adds a specific set of capabilities to your workspace. Currently, you can choose from eight available apps: Website for creating pages and posts, Email for sending emails, Forms for capturing visitor submissions, Knowledge Base for documentation and help articles, CRM for managing contacts and companies, Chat for engaging with visitors through an embeddable widget, Developers for API keys and integrations, and Socials for managing your social channels.
Website
The Website app is a full-featured website builder equipped with a visual page editor featuring over 47 block types. It provides everything you need to establish your online presence, including a complete blog system, reusable layouts, and custom domain support. You can also configure SEO metadata and utilize built-in GDPR compliance tools, such as cookie consent dialogs and privacy settings, to ensure your site meets regulatory standards.
The Email app provides a complete email system built directly into your project. It features a visual builder for crafting emails, reusable headers and footers, and recipients Mind picks from your CRM. You can easily manage subscriptions, track opens and clicks, and Mind plans and sends each email, with your approval.
Forms
The Forms app allows you to capture information directly from your website pages. All submissions are stored and viewable within the app, keeping your data organized in one central location.
Knowledge Base
The Knowledge Base app is designed specifically for documentation and help articles. It features a hierarchical category structure to keep your content organized and supports multi-language translations (currently English, Spanish, and French) to serve a global audience. You'll author your articles using the same intuitive visual editor found in the Website app, ensuring a consistent creation experience across your project.
CRM
The CRM app provides powerful customer relationship management for tracking companies and contacts. It features a comprehensive activity timeline for logging emails, calls, meetings, and tasks, complete with team assignments and due dates. With built-in tags and custom properties, you can easily group and filter your data, seamlessly syncing with the Email app to power your email sends.
Chat
The Chat app adds an AI-powered chat system to your project. Designed to be embedded on your public-facing website as a chat widget, it supports visitor sessions and tracks conversations. From the console, you can manage all active sessions and review full message histories, giving you complete control over visitor interactions.
Choose your apps
Start Small. There is no penalty for starting small. You can skip this step or begin with just the Website app. Additional apps can always be added later directly from your project dashboard.
How apps appear in the sidebar
Once you add an app to your project, it immediately appears in the left sidebar of the console under the Apps section. To keep navigation predictable across all your projects, installed apps are always sorted in a consistent order: Website, Email, Forms, Knowledge Base, CRM, Chat, Developers, and Socials.
Access Your Apps from the Sidebar
All installed apps live in the left sidebar of your Giant Context console. Click any app to expand its toolset—for instance, opening the Website app reveals direct links to manage your Pages, Posts, Layouts, Headers, Footers, Sidebars, Dialogs, and Settings.
In the sidebar, each installed app displays its icon and name. You can expand an app to reveal its specific sub-pages. Every app includes a dedicated Settings page for configuration. Clicking the app name itself will navigate you to its default overview page, while clicking any of the sub-items will take you directly to that specific section.
Removing an app
Removing Apps from Your Project
If you no longer need a specific tool, you can remove it to keep your console organized. Navigate to the App Settings page and scroll to the bottom to find the delete option. Proceed with caution, as removing an app will permanently delete its associated data.
App Deletion Requires Permissions. Removing an app from your project requires project management permissions. To protect your data, a confirmation dialog will always ask you to verify the action before any information is permanently deleted.
Multiple apps of the same type
Currently, each app type can only be added once per project from the Add App dialog. If an app is already installed, its icon will be grayed out and not selectable. This prevents duplicate instances within the same workspace. If you need separate instances—such as two websites for different subdomains—you will need to create a second project.
Choose Your Next Building Block
Click the Add App button in the top-right corner of your Dashboard to browse available modules like Website, CRM, Email, and Chat. Apps you have already installed are grayed out and cannot be selected again. If you need a second instance of an app—like a second website for a subdomain—you will need to create a new project.
FAQ
Currently, each app type can only be added once per project. If you need separate instances (like two websites for different subdomains), you would create a second project.
The app and all its data are moved to trash (soft delete) for 30 days. It disappears from your sidebar, but you can restore it if you change your mind. Deleting requires project management permissions.
No, you can start with what you need today. You can always add more apps later from the project dashboard.
