Publishing deploys your project to a live URL on the Builder platform. Anyone with the link can visit your app — no local preview required. This is the ship step in your AI software factory run: build in chat, then push production output through Builder’s AI workload execution layer.

​
What happens when you publish

  1. Builder builds your project for production
  2. The built app is deployed through the app gateway — Builder’s AI inference gateway for live traffic
  3. A live URL is assigned: yourproject.nativelyai.app
  4. You can share the URL immediately
You get owned AI software on a URL you control — or on your own domain on paid plans.
Publishing does not consume AI credits. Credits are only used for AI chat and generation.

​
Publish your project

1

Open your project

Navigate to the project you want to publish.
2

Go to publish

Open Settings → Publish, or use the publish action in the project toolbar.
3

Click Publish

Builder runs the production build and deploys your app. You’ll see build output in the terminal panel.
4

Copy your URL

Once complete, your live URL appears. Copy and share it.

​
Unpublish

To take your app offline:
  1. Open Publish inside the project
  2. Click Unpublish
  3. The live URL stops serving your app
Your project and code remain intact — only the public deployment is removed.

​
Stale deployments

If you’ve made changes since your last publish, the publish button indicates your deployment is stale. Publish again to push the latest version live.

​
Branding

​
Staged deploys (Business+)

Business and Scale plans support staged deploys — separate production and staging environments so you can test before going live. Staged deploys let you validate changes in a staging environment before promoting to production.

​
Version history

On paid plans, you can revert to earlier project versions if a publish introduces a problem. Open the Versions panel to browse snapshots and restore a previous state.
