Getting started
Welcome to Shipyard
Shipyard is a general AI app-building platform. Describe what you want, preview a real app, and publish when it feels right.

What Shipyard is
Shipyard turns a plain-language description into a working web app. You stay in the browser: chat, live preview, iterate, and publish. You do not need a local IDE to ship the first version.
The product is built for any web app, not one industry. Marketing sites, SaaS tools, dashboards, booking apps, and internal tools are all in scope.
The loop
Describe the product. Shipyard generates a first version you can click through. Ask for the next change in chat, or point at something in the preview. When you are proud of it, publish.
That loop continues after launch. New pages, sharper copy, and another deploy are the same conversation.
