Create & deploy an app

There are two ways to create an app: build with Chat (recommended) or paste
your own code as a developer.

Method 1 — Build with Chat (recommended)

Open Apps → Create app — follow the guide, or go straight to Chat.
In the composer, turn on the APP button.
Describe the app, e.g. "Create a fraction matching game for P4 students."
Chat writes the code. Open the App tab in the workspace panel to
Preview or view Code.
Iterate in chat: "Make the buttons bigger" or "Add a score counter."
When ready, click Deploy to publish a public link.

Opening an app from My Apps uses an app workspace: preview and code in
the main area, with a side panel for name, subject, grade, duplicate code,
and the linked chat.

App panel controls

Action	What it does
Preview / Code	Switch between live preview and HTML editor
Save	Save draft code (auto-saves while you edit)
Deploy / Redeploy	Publish snapshot to a public URL
Publish	Add to school or public gallery (deploy first)
Share	Copy duplicate code or app link
Restart	Reload the preview iframe

If the preview hits a runtime error, ask Chat to fix it — errors are surfaced in
the panel.

Method 2 — Paste your own code

For developers with a ready-made single-file HTML app:

Apps → Create app → I'm a developer — I have my own code.
Enter an app name and paste a complete HTML document.
Click Create app — opens the app detail page (not linked to a chat).
Preview, edit code, and Deploy when ready.

Imported and developer-pasted apps can start a linked chat later so Chat can
see and edit the app.

Deploy

Deploying creates a public play link anyone can open:

Save your latest code.
Click Deploy (or Redeploy after changes).
Optionally add a description, subject, and grade levels so others
can find it in galleries.
Copy the app link from Share.

Redeploy whenever you change code — the link stays the same but serves the new
version.

Publish to a gallery

After deploy:

My school — visible in your school gallery. Instant when Auto-publish
apps is on; otherwise Pending until an admin approves. See School Apps
moderation.
Public gallery — submits for admin approval before it appears in the
Public tab for all users.

Add subject and grade metadata so teachers can filter the gallery.

Manage from Apps directory

Open any app from My Apps to:

Edit metadata (name, subjects, grades)
Open the linked chat (or Link to chat if none attached yet)
Share duplicate code
Delete (removes the app and its public link)

Link to chat

Apps created by pasting code or importing may have no linked chat. From the
app menu → Link to chat → pick a direct Chat conversation without an app
already attached. Each chat supports one app.

Building with Chat uses chat credits per message. Deploy and publish are
free once the app is built.
