description	Start building your first AI app with Devv

Create your first project

Simply input your project description into this box, and let Devv start working!

Notice:

1. You can also:

• upload images
• select Devv integrations here.

2. There are lots of Devv Integrations here. Don't worry about them. You are not required to select any of them here. Indeed, Devv agent will help you select the integrations you need automatically, based on your project features.

Devv Integration is a key point that differs Devv from other products. We build it to help you ship your product faster, and easier. You can read the [Integration Docs](/integrations/introduction) here to check for more details about them.

Editing your projects

Use the followup input box to add more features and iterate your project, you can:

• Click `suggested next steps` generated by AI after each
• Type your issue manually.
• Upload images.
• Select specific integration you wanna add to your project.

     height="300"
     className="rounded-lg"
  />

Version control is an really important feature while building your apps. You will rarely use it. **But when AI happens to write something totally wrong and destroy your existing project, the best practice is revert it manually instead of ask AI to fix it.**

To help you debug your project, Devv provides you with a developer console, where you can catch necessary information, including printed messages, network requests, errors and user actions.

Use the Admin Dashboard

Devv provides an Admin Dashboard for project owners. Here you can do multiply actions towards your project.

`App Visibility Rule` works after adding Authentication (i.e. User login system) to your project. There are three different options here. You can change it anytime by click it in your admin dashboard.

As the project owner, you are able to check and mange your project users.

  Select the `User` tab in your Admin dashboard, you can check all users who have registered to
  your website. Plus, you are able to invite or remove users manually here.

  <img
     src="/images/users.png"
     alt="users"
     height="100"
     className="rounded-lg"
  />

Select `Tables` tab in your admin dashboard, here you can: 1. Check all database tables, `view` all data and `edit` or `delete` any one them. 2. Check your `table schema`. 3. Change the `read and write permission` of each table.

  Notice: We recommend to let Devv itself mange your database settings. **In most cases, you don't need to change any settings manually.**

  ></video>

Deploy and Publish your project

In Devv, You can publish your project by `1-single-click`. Just use the publish button on top right, and publish a new version when you make modifications. You will get a public domain for your project once it finished.

By default, you will get a random domain from Devv after publishing your project. But yeah, a meaningful domain would be better for your users to read and remember. Use `Domain` tab in your Admin panel to add custom domain to your project.
