Templates are pre-built database structures designed by the community to help you get started quickly. They provide ready-made solutions for common use cases, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

​
What are Templates?

Think of templates as blueprints for your databases. They come with pre-configured fields, optimized descriptions, and thoughtful structures that are battle-tested by other users.

Template vs. Custom Database

  • Use a Template When...
  • Create Custom When...
✅ You have a common use case (tasks, contacts, projects)✅ You want to get started immediately✅ You’re new to Hyperaide and want to learn by example✅ You prefer proven structures over experimentation
Pro tip: Start with a template and customize it! It’s often easier to modify an existing structure than to build from scratch, even for unique workflows.
