Build with AI Agent

Utilize the Back4app AI Agent to generate a complete interactive virtual tour app from this template, including frontend, backend, authentication, property tours, and showing management.

Back4app AI Agent
Ready to build
Create an interactive virtual tour and real estate showing app backend on Back4app with this exact schema and behavior.

Schema:
1. User (use Back4app built-in): username, email, password; objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
2. Property: name (String, required), description (String), images (Array of Strings); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
3. Tour: property (Pointer to Property, required), user (Pointer to User); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
4. Showing: date (Date, required), time (Date, required), attendees (Array of User, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).

Security:
- Only the user can update/delete their profile. Only the owner can create/delete their properties and tours. Use Cloud Code for validation.

Auth:
- Sign-up, login, logout.

Behavior:
- List users, schedule showings, create tours, and manage properties.

Deliver:
- Back4app app with schema, ACLs, CLPs; frontend for user profiles, properties, tours, and showing management.
