# What is onvibe?

onvibe lets you build and publish real web apps **just by talking to your AI assistant** —
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any tool that supports MCP. You describe what you want in plain
words. Your AI writes the app, deploys it, and hands you back a real link you can open and share
the same day. No servers to rent, no accounts to wire up, nothing to install.

## The mental model

Think of it as three roles:

- **You** — decide what the app should do and how it should behave. You speak in plain language.
- **Your AI** — turns your description into a working app and deploys it for you.
- **onvibe** — hosts the app, gives it a public address, stores its data, and keeps it running.

You never touch the middle layer directly. You talk to your AI; your AI talks to onvibe.

## What you actually get

- A **live web app** at a real URL, reachable by anyone you share it with.
- A **database** so your app can remember things (lists, sign-ups, posts, orders…).
- A place for **files and images** — both ones you provide and ones your app's visitors upload.
- The ability to **change anything** later just by asking ("make the button blue", "add a search box").

## How a typical session goes

1. You connect your AI to onvibe once. See [Connecting your AI](/docs/setup).
2. You say something like *"Build me a page where friends can RSVP to my dinner party."*
3. Your AI builds it and replies with a link.
4. You open the link, try it, and ask for tweaks until it's right.
5. You share the link. It stays online.
