An app is a site or web app that the Jobbit agent built for you and Jobbit hosts. It gets its own address such as novacard-x7k2.apps.jobbit.uk, runs on Jobbit’s servers, and can have a database, file storage, email and analytics without any setup on your side. Everything you build lives on the Apps page. Open an app there to see how it is doing, change its settings and connect your own domain.

How an app gets here

1

Ask the agent

Describe the site or app in a chat: who it is for, what people should be able to do, the pages and the look. The agent writes the code and shows a live preview while it works.
2

Publish it

When you are happy, ask the agent to publish. Jobbit builds the app, starts it and gives it an address. It appears on the Apps page as soon as the build begins.
3

Keep improving it

Ask for changes in the same chat. Each new version is built and swapped in only when it starts correctly, so the live app keeps working while the next one builds.
You can also deploy your own project through the API.

Free and paid plans

On the Free plan an app lives for a week, and its page tells you when it will be removed. Any paid plan keeps your apps online, lets you use your own domain and gives them a larger shared pool of resources. See Plans.
