Choosing what to build

Beginner

Everything you make in bychat is an artifact — a result of the chat you can preview, edit, and keep. Under the prompt box you can pick which kind to build before you send. The buildable apps each come with their own GitHub repo and a live preview:

  • Website — a web app that runs in the browser.
  • Full-stack — a web app with its own backend and data.
  • Mobile — an iOS/Android-style app built with Ionic.

You can also generate lighter, single-file artifacts that render right in the chat — no repo or build needed:

  • Slides — a reveal.js presentation deck you can present in the browser or download.
  • Logo — an editable SVG brand mark that stays crisp at any size.
  • SVG & images — icons, illustrations, badges, and graphics as editable vector files.

Mix and match in a single chat: ask for a website, then a matching logo, then a pitch deck about it — they share one thread and one timeline. A repo is an artifact too, and inside a repo you can build sub-apps as their own artifacts, so one project can hold several apps side by side.

If you don't pick one, we choose a sensible default from your description. More types are on the way.
