For technical teams

bychat for technical teams

At its core, bychat is a CI/CD server that puts AI dev agents into your pipeline and workflows. Bring your own agents and models, wire them to your existing CI/CD, and hook agents and LLMs into every stage of the development cycle — with the commit as the single source of truth for every action.

Vibecode securely. Chat with your data, chat with your repo — bychat.

bychat is the secure way to vibecode: build apps, websites, and mobile apps by chatting, chat with your data in plain language, and upload your own GitHub repo to chat with it too — all in real repos you own, checked before they ship. Same conversational power you'd expect, with the control and infrastructure a real team needs.

Note: this is bychat.io, the AI app builder — not to be confused with bychat.ai. We cover the chat-with-data experience and far more: building and shipping the apps, repos, and pipelines around it.

New to bychat? Start with the basics

These developer docs assume you want the technical model. For getting started, app types, branches, and publishing, see the main docs.

For the only developer in the room

We feel the pain of being the only technical person on the team. You're the one who has to ship the landing page, stand up the admin tool, get something onto phones, and keep it all running — while everyone around you waits on you for anything that touches code.

bychat is built for that. Connect a Supabase project and your GitHub account and you have everything you need to build and ship real software. From that one setup, a single developer can support a whole non-technical team:

  • A landing page — a fast, public marketing site your team can point customers to.
  • An admin app — a full-stack web app with auth and data so your non-technical teammates can run the day-to-day themselves.
  • Mobile apps — iOS/Android-style apps so your members have what they need in their pocket.
  • Chat with your data — point bychat at your Supabase data and ask questions in plain language, then turn the answers into a dashboard your team actually uses.

All of it lives in real Git repos, builds on one pipeline, and previews live before it goes out — so one developer can vibecode securely and carry a landing page, an admin app, mobile apps, and a chat-with-your-data layer at the same time without drowning.

A CI/CD server, by default

bychat is, first and foremost, a CI/CD server. Builds, tests, and deploys run on the same pipeline you would expect from a CI/CD platform — except every stage is open to AI dev agents and LLMs.

You do not adopt a new place to work. bychat sits on top of the workflow you already have and adds an agent-aware control plane around it.

Bring your dev agents

bychat integrates the dev agents your team already uses, and is built to add more over time. Run them inside the pipeline instead of bolting them on the side.

  • Claude Code, Codex, and a growing list of coding agents.
  • Mix agents per project or per stage — the right tool for each job.
  • Bring your own agent: if it runs in CI, it runs in bychat.

Bring your own models

Agents are not locked to a single model. Choose from the models we support, or point bychat at your own — hosted, self-hosted, or local.

Switch models per agent or per stage so cost, latency, and capability match the task in front of you.

Integrate your CI/CD

bychat integrates directly with your own CI/CD platform rather than replacing it. Keep your existing pipelines, runners, and gates.

Agents and LLMs become first-class steps alongside your current jobs, so adoption is incremental and nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch.

Events at every stage

bychat emits a rich stream of events across the development cycle, and each event is a hook point where you can attach an agent or an LLM.

  • Code events: commit, push, branch, and pull-request lifecycle.
  • Pipeline events: build start, test, deploy, and rollback.
  • Review events: checks, comments, and approvals.
  • We keep adding events so there is always a place to plug in automation.

The commit is the source of all actions

Every action in bychat traces back to a commit. The commit is the single source of truth — what changed, who (or which agent) changed it, and why.

Because actions are anchored to commits, automation is reproducible and auditable: replay it, attribute it, and reason about it from one timeline.

Own the repo

Every project is a real Git repository, not a black box. Agents commit to it, CI builds from it, and the full history is yours to read. Bring your own dev tools — clone it, branch it, review it like any other repo.

Connect your GitHub account and we transfer the project's repository straight into it, so the code lives in your own GitHub org from day one. Importing your existing repositories is on the roadmap.

Supercharge your team

Once you've shipped for your team, bychat helps you scale without scaling the headache. Reuse one pipeline across every app, hand non-technical members live previews instead of guesswork, and keep your code and data where you control them.

  • Reuse your CI/CD — every app, from the landing page to the admin tool to mobile, builds and deploys on the same pipeline. Set it up once; every project inherits it.
  • Screenshots and live previews — every build produces a preview and a screenshot your non-technical teammates can review and sign off on before it ships, no local setup required.
  • Protect your infra — agents commit to real repos and run on infrastructure you own, so you keep an auditable trail of who changed what and nothing leaves your control.

When you need full control, self-host bychat inside your own environment so your code, data, and compute never leave your infrastructure — the most private way for a whole team to vibecode securely.

Messaging, docs & change tracking

On top of the event stream, bychat brings more events to drive automation that usually falls through the cracks.

  • Messaging: route the right update to the right people as work moves through the pipeline.
  • Automated docs: keep documentation generated and current from what actually shipped.
  • Change tracking, categorized by area — database, auth, navigation, errors, and more.
