Lotus Notes app design analyses with AI

What’s this Notes app even doing?

The original developer is long gone, nobody has a clue, and now you’re tasked with replacing it. But before you touch a single line, you need to understand how it works. The problem? Looking at the design drives you mad — code is scattered everywhere. That’s the curse of many Notes apps: no clear start, no obvious end. So… where do you even begin? We’ve built a system that makes sense of a Notes application’s design by letting you ask plain-language questions like:

  1. What’s the main form of this app?
  2. What does this form actually do?
  3. Which subforms are being called?
  4. What are the buttons programmed to do?

Instructions for using above Notes app design AI

One Notes database is connected to the Lialis AI Chat below.
It’s a Disbursement Requests workflow app with many design elements.
You can ask anything about the app’s design, for example:

-What’s the most important form? (DisbursementRequest)
-Which subforms does it use, and when are they shown?
-What fields are on the form, and what labels?
-Are there scheduled agents? What do they do?
-How could this form be replaced?

Responses may take a moment while the agent analyzes the data.

Conclusion – Why This Approach Works

For anyone who isn’t a hardcore Notes developer, diving straight into Domino Designer is overwhelming. A single Notes app can contain an ocean of code, spread over hundreds of elements, with no clear starting point. You can’t just export everything into Word and expect clarity — there’s too much, and it’s too fragmented.

Our approach solves that by letting you explore the app interactively, in plain language. All you need is a few hours of basic familiarity with Notes apps. The tool gives you structured, easy-to-understand explanations that you can compile into a design document — the essential blueprint for any replacement project.

Since all code is available via DXL exports, you can, in theory, fully understand the app’s logic, business rules, and interdependencies. And because the AI does the heavy lifting, you avoid the usual frustration and can focus on designing the future system.

In short: this is the first practical, scalable way for non-Notes experts to truly understand a Notes application before replacing it.
