GenVibe is an AI app builder. You describe an app in plain English (or import a Figma design or screenshot), and it writes the code, runs it live, and lets you preview, edit, and deploy — no coding or setup required. ## Is it free? Yes. You can sign up and build for free with 20 starter credits — every feature included. Paid plans (Standard and Pro) add a monthly credit refill, unlock **all frontier AI models**, and add pro features like custom domains. See [Plans & credits](/getting-started/plans-and-credits.md). ## What's the difference between Standard and Pro? Both include the same models — **all frontier models**. Standard lets you pick a monthly credit tier (100–2,000), while Pro gives you **1,200 credits a month plus Max mode** (deeper builds that finish in one session) and priority support. Most people start on Standard and scale up. ## Do I need to know how to code? No. You build by chatting. If you *do* code, you can edit any file directly and export the project. ## Should I plan before building? Only if you want to. By default GenVibe builds as soon as you prompt. For bigger or fuzzier ideas, switch the composer to **Plan** and GenVibe asks a few questions and lays out a plan first — you approve, then it builds. See [Plan mode](/features/plan-mode.md). ## Is my work saved? Can I switch devices? Yes. Projects auto-back up to the cloud — files and chat history. Close the tab, clear your browser, or open GenVibe on another device and your apps are right where you left them. You can start on a laptop and continue from your phone. Manage projects (rename, delete, reopen) from the sidebar. ## Can I build on my phone or tablet? Yes. GenVibe runs in a cloud sandbox, so the whole workbench — prompting, live preview, and editing — works from any device: desktop, tablet, or phone. There's nothing to install and no powerful machine required. You can even build a mobile app on your phone and scan the QR code to run it on that same phone via Expo Go. ## What can I build? Web apps (landing pages, dashboards, tools, stores) and **mobile apps** (iOS + Android via React Native + Expo) — all from prompts. ## Can I really build mobile apps? Yes — GenVibe generates real React Native + Expo projects, previews them in a phone frame, and lets you **scan a QR code to run the app on your own phone** via Expo Go. It's one of the few AI builders that does this, and it's on the free tier. See [Mobile apps](/features/mobile-apps.md). ## Do I own the code? Yes. Your app is standard code with no lock-in. Export it to GitHub or download it anytime. ## Can I connect a database? Yes, via [Supabase](/integrations/supabase.md) — database, authentication, and storage, all set up by asking. ## How do I publish my app? Click **Publish** to put your app online in one click at a live `genvibe.app` link — or connect your own **custom domain** on any paid plan. You can also deploy to Netlify or export to GitHub. See [Deploying your app](/features/deployment.md). ## Which AI model does it use? The free plan builds with GenVibe's **default frontier model**; **all frontier models** unlock on **every paid plan** — both Standard and Pro. Pick your model in the prompt toolbar. ## How is GenVibe different from \[other builder]? GenVibe builds both web and mobile apps from prompts, designs, or screenshots; runs everything live in a cloud sandbox (so you can build from any device, including your phone); and gives you real, exportable code with an integrated Supabase backend. ## My app has a bug — what do I do? Describe what happened and GenVibe will fix it. Many runtime errors are fixed automatically. See [Fixing errors](/guides/fixing-errors.md). ## How do I get help? See [Contact & support](/help/contact.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.genvibe.pro/help/faq.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
