Most ways of putting an app online start with a code editor, a server and a deploy pipeline. Pushpad starts with a chat.
Pushpad builds and hosts apps from the AI chat you already use. You describe what you want, your AI builds it with Pushpad's tools, and Pushpad puts it online at its own link that anyone can open.
This post explains how each part works, in plain words.
Build in the chat you already use
Pushpad works inside Claude, Claude Code or ChatGPT. You add it once, as a connector, which is a way of giving your AI new tools. From then on you describe what you want and your AI builds it with Pushpad's tools: it creates the project, writes the files, builds the app and reads the results. If something doesn't build, it's told what went wrong and fixes it.
You don't need to read or write any code. You ask for changes the way you'd ask a person: "make the colours match my logo", "add a contact page", "show the results as a chart".
If your app needs to store data, it gets its own database, kept separate from every other app's. If it needs a secret, such as an API key, you set it in your dashboard. It's stored encrypted and never shown again, to you or to your AI.
Live at its own link
When you're happy, ask your AI to publish. Your app goes online at its own address, like your-app.pushapp.live, and anyone with the link can open it.
Publish as often as you like. If a change goes wrong, ask your AI to roll back and the earlier version goes back up.
On your own domain
You can also give your app a domain of your own, like example.com. Buy one through Pushpad and it's set up for you, or connect one you already own. Our custom domains guide walks through both.
Start from a prompt
A good prompt gets you a good first version. In the marketplace, founders share and sell the prompts they've used to build apps. Find one for the kind of app you want, copy it into your chat, fill in the blanks, and your AI builds from there.
