Want to skip the manual steps? Build with AI using the piece-builder skill, the recommended way to build pieces.
This section guides you in creating a Gelato piece, from setting up your development environment to contributing the piece. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a piece with an action that fetches a random ice cream flavor and a trigger that fetches newly created ice cream flavors.
These are the next sections. In each step, we will do one small thing. Use the supported source checkout and verify each step before continuing.
