Creating an app
Two ways:- Ask the AI - describe what you want in a thread and the AI builds it
- New app button - click + in the Drive sidebar and choose New app
| Template | What you get | Use when you need |
|---|---|---|
ui | React web app | A web app, dashboard, landing page |
process | HTTP server | An API, webhook handler, scheduled job |
One app, one branch
Each app is a single git checkout onmain. There are no separate drafts, no branch switching, no merge step. Every edit lands on main as a commit; publishing is just “deploy the current main”.
The build cycle
- The AI writes code directly on
main - The AI starts the dev server. You see a live preview.
- You iterate by chat: “move the chart to the sidebar”, “add a dark theme”
- The dev server hot-reloads after each edit
- When ready, publish
Publishing
Publishing deploys the currentmain commit. There is no separate production branch — the most recently published commit on main is what’s live.
Deploying
After publishing, deploy to get a live URL:- Remote apps deploy to Kazzle’s cloud and get a public URL
- Local apps install on your computer. The UI loads directly, and the process part runs a dev server.
Realtime apps
For apps that need instant local reads and offline support, the AI:- Creates a database
- Turns on realtime sync
- Builds a two-part app: UI (React + sync client) and Process (token endpoint + sync upload)
- Wires credentials through the vault
