Build your own app

Describe it. Chatify builds it.

Tell us who your app is for and what it should answer. Chatify drafts the whole cited-source chat app - sources, answer prompts, design and wording. You review everything before anything is saved, try the app locally, then publish it yourself.

DescribePlain words, no settings.

Confirm sourcesWe suggest, you decide.

Review, then saveNothing is applied until you confirm.

Step 2 of 6

Choose your evidence

Suggested from your description. Nothing is connected yet - Chatify tests sources after the build, and you can change everything later.

Add another source

Why did Chatify choose these?

No model budget?

The starter draft uses your chosen sources with default wording. You can refine everything with an AI build or in the full builder later.

Building your app

Starting…

You can leave this page; the build continues on this server. Nothing is saved until you review and confirm.

Step 4 of 6

Review your app

Everything the build would save, in plain terms. Nothing is applied until you choose Save.

Step 5 of 6

Your app is running

A local preview workspace, separate from this app. Play with it, check its evidence, change how it answers, and come back here to publish.

Open your app

Check the evidence

Sends one test request to each source in your app. No model calls, no cost.

Keep iterating

Versions

Every save and prompt change is snapshotted. Restore writes that version back and starts it as a new preview workspace - history only grows.

Step 6 of 6

Publish your app

Chatify cannot deploy for you - no cloud account is connected. You get a ready package and a checklist, and each step happens in your own accounts.

1 · Readiness check

Checks the app saved on this server: model, credentials, sources and audience notes. Local configuration checks only - live services are not contacted.

2 · Download the deployment package

A zip with your app file, theme, prompts, a Render blueprint (render.yaml), a publishing guide and a list of the environment variables to set. No keys, accounts or chat history are included.

3 · Follow the guide

PrepareUnzip, run chatify run app.yaml locally once, set the variables from SECRETS.md.

GitHubCommit every file to a new private repository in your own account.

RenderNew → Blueprint → connect the repo. Paste the secret values when Render asks. Deploy.

Check the live appOpen the Render URL, ask one real question, confirm the citations and the look.

Your own domainLast, and optional: point a domain you already own at the working Render URL in the service’s Custom Domains settings.

Render and model providers bill you directly - check their current prices. Render’s free services sleep when idle, so the first request after a quiet period can take a minute. The full guide is PUBLISHING.md inside the package.
