# Prerequisites

## Integration with Gen AI

In order to create the data source for the app, you need to create an integration with Gen AI. Follow [this ](https://docs.ixhello.com/ixhc/general/enterprise-connections/generative-ai)document to create an integration with Generative AI.

## Integration with Internal Content

You can manage your content like text, audio, and other media files within iX Hello. They can later be used in custom apps. Following through [this ](https://docs.ixhello.com/ixhc/general/enterprise-connections/internal-content)short document, you should be able to readily connect an integration with iX Hello Internal Content.

## Create content 

You can prepare any text, media, html files to use as content for the app. 

Or you can use this sample file to proceed with the process. Download this 'demoContent.json' file here.

{% file src="<https://1107164708-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M8XHvUsfyTUFLvToHqD%2Fuploads%2Fp5uhLVusGjwqTCIaFc8h%2FdemoContent.json?alt=media&token=30d319a3-4c74-4bed-b72b-33a8eeee6696>" %}

It is a JSON file that contains the basic information of a business-like description, opening hours, contacts, etc. &#x20;

Now, on the iX Hello portal, on the left navigation, go to Content -> Content and click on Add New Content.
