# AWS App Studio

> AWS App Studio is an AWS service that enables application development using generative AI. When connected to Connect AI, AWS App Studio lets you develop applications using SaaS data.

This page outlines the steps to connect AWS App Studio to your Connect AI account.

## Prerequisites

Before you connect, you must first do the following:

* Connect a data source to your Connect AI account. See [Sources](/en/Sources) for more information.
* [Add a workspace](/en/Workspaces#add-a-workspace) to Workspaces.
* [Add assets](/en/Workspaces#workspace-assets) to your workspace.
* Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) on the [Settings](/en/Settings#personal-access-tokens) page. Copy this down, as it acts as your password during authentication.

## Connect to Connect AI via OpenAPI

To establish a connection from AWS App Studio to Connect AI via OpenAPI, follow these steps.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    In **Workspaces** in Connect AI, select a workspace and download the OpenAPI specification for the workspace. See [OpenAPI](/en/API/OpenAPI) for more information.

    <Note>
      You must use OpenAPI version 3.0.
