Anyone can build Apps for their own use cases and promote them on the `App Gallery <https://lightning.ai/apps>`_.

In return, you can benefit from the work of others and get started faster by re-using a ready-to-run App close to your own use case.

#. Visit the `App Gallery <https://lightning.ai/apps>`_ and look for an App close to your own use case.

    .. raw:: html

       <br />

#. If **Launch** is available, it means the App is live and ready to be used! Take it for a spin.
