Projects & editor

Everything you build lives in a project. The editor combines chat, live preview, file tree, and deploy.

Project model

  • Projects belong to a workspace (personal or team).
  • Plan limits cap how many projects you can keep (Free: 3, Pro: 25, Business: 100).
  • Each project has source files, a per-app database (when using the inbuilt data plane), and optional publish environments.

Editor surfaces

Agent chat

Primary way to change the app. Prefer product language (“add an admin table of leads”) over stack language unless you need a specific framework.

Preview

Served under /preview/<projectId>/. Auth cookies and data tokens are injected so @appbricx/data / @appbricx/runtime talk to the platform API.

Files

Full project tree. Backend artifacts live under .appbricx/backend/ (queries, workflows, webhooks, schedules, API ACL).

Deploy

Publishes a static or process app to https://<slug>.apps.appbricx.com (or your configured publish domain). Custom domains on Pro+.

Modes

  • Agent — builds and edits the app.
  • Plan (Pro+) — discuss approach before writing files.
  • Visual edit (Pro+) — click UI elements to tweak copy and layout.

Credits

AI turns consume workspace credits (daily + monthly pools on paid plans). BYOK still uses credits for orchestration but model tokens bill your provider directly.
