Frequently asked questions
Can AI build a complete web app, or just the front end?
A complete one. GenVibe builds the pages and the logic, and when the app needs data or sign-in you connect Supabase in one click and the AI writes the tables and the login for you. You watch it run in a live preview while it builds.
Which framework does GenVibe use for web apps?
React with TypeScript and Vite by default. To start on Next.js, or on plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, open the gear next to the Web tab.
How do I put an AI-built website online?
On GenVibe, click Publish to get a free link at your-app.genvibe.app on any plan. Paid plans add your own domain and remove the small GenVibe badge. You can also deploy to your own Netlify account or push the code to GitHub.
Will an AI-built web app work on phones?
It should, but check it. Ask for a layout that works on phones, then open the published link on your own phone before you share it. If you want an app people install from a store, use the Mobile App tab instead.
How much does it cost to build a web app with AI?
On GenVibe you can start with 20 free credits, once, with no card. Credits are used by the size of each change, so a small edit costs a fraction of a credit and a full build costs more. Packs start at $5 and plans at $12 a month for 100 credits.
