Introduction to Poleved

Poleved turns a prompt into a working app — web and mobile — with a real database, a public URL, and source code you own. You describe what you want, the AI writes the code into your project's git repository, and you review, preview, and publish it.

Sign-up is open — no invite needed — and the Spark plan is free forever.

What you can build

Every project starts as a fullstack Next.js app in a single git repository. From that one project you get:

  • A web app — pages and server code, built with Next.js and Tailwind.
  • A database — a real PostgreSQL or MySQL database per project, which you can browse and query from the workspace.
  • A REST API — endpoints over your own tables, generated into your repository so they keep working after you export.
  • A mobile app — an Expo (React Native) app in mobile/ in the same repository, talking to the same API. Open it on your phone with Expo Go on Android or iOS, and build an installable Android APK or an AAB for Play Console.

The result is ordinary Next.js and React Native code. Nothing is locked to a proprietary runtime, and you can export the whole thing to your own GitHub repository or a ZIP whenever you want.

How it works

  1. Sign in. Click Sign in with GitHub on the sign-in page. GitHub is the only provider available right now.
  2. Create a project. Pick a starting scaffold and a database. You get a git repository and an empty database of your own.
  3. Describe what you want. Write a prompt in the chat panel — the pages, the fields, the behaviour.
  4. The AI works. Each prompt runs in an isolated build environment: the AI reads and edits files, then commits them to your project's git repository. You watch the activity live in the chat.
  5. Review it. The middle panel runs your app as a private dev server. The right panel shows the files that changed, read-only — you change code by prompting, not by typing into the panel.
  6. Publish. One click builds your app and serves it from https://<slug>.poleved.app. You can point your own domain at it later.

Two optional steps sit in front of the code when a prompt is broad. A wide-ranging UI request can draw mockups for you to approve first, and a wide-ranging build request can propose a plan you edit and approve step by step. You stay in charge of what gets built.

What it costs

AI work is metered in credits. Every run is priced from the tokens it actually used, so a small tweak costs far less than a full feature.

  • The free Spark plan includes 150 credits per month.
  • A typical single-change prompt is around 1 credit, and no single run is charged more than 25 credits.
  • Paid plans raise the monthly allowance: Maker 1,500, Studio 5,000, Foundry 15,000 credits.
  • On a paid plan you can also buy extra credits without changing plan. They sit beside the allowance, are spent only after it runs out, and expire 12 months after purchase.

Hosting, the database, previews and deploys are not metered separately — credits cover the AI work.

Where to go next

Limits & notes

  • GitHub is the only sign-in provider today.
  • Your database engine and starting scaffold are locked when the project is created. Need a different one? Create a new project.
  • The preview is a private dev server, not your public URL, and it stops after roughly ten minutes of inactivity.
  • The preview and a default deploy use the same project database, so test data shows up on your live URL unless you point production at a different one.
  • Mobile apps run on Android and iOS through Expo Go, but iOS store builds are not available yet. Android APK and AAB builds run on your own Expo account, so the signing key stays yours.
  • The workspace needs a screen at least 1080px wide.
  • Limits may change during alpha.
