Deploy and share a live app

Go live from Build or Workspace Apps: copy a visitor link, save an optional connection key for outside tools, and know when to use Artifacts instead.

Do you need Workspace Apps?

Workspace Apps are for live software on a Core or Pro workspace: a link you can share, optional APIs, and a private database when you need SQL.

If you only want a simple marketing page on any plan, use Artifacts instead—no upgrade required.

Go live from Build (most common)

Open Build and work in a folder under build/ (for example build/my-calculator/).
Click Deploy live app in the studio toolbar.
When the success panel appears, click Copy link—that is what you send to customers or teammates.
Open app to verify the page loads in a new tab.

Go live from Workspace Apps

Open Context → Capabilities, choose Workspace Apps, or go directly to /apps on your workspace.
Enter an app name and click Go live.
Use the same Copy link and Open app actions as after a Build deploy.

Do you need the connection key?

Usually no. Anyone with the visitor link can open your site in a browser without a key.

Your AI agents and workflows inside Smart AI Team also work without a key—they talk to the app internally.

Save the connection key only if an outside tool (Zapier, Make, a developer script) must call your app’s API. Copy it when shown; we display the full secret only once unless you create a new key.

Lost the connection key?

Open Workspace Apps, find your app under Share & access, and choose Create new key.
Copy the new key immediately. The old key stops working.

Private versus open API

Default is private: outside callers need the connection key. Change to open only if you intentionally want a public API (still rate-limited). Adjust this in Workspace Apps under Share & access.

Starter plan?

Workspace Apps and SQL require Core or Pro. Upgrade from Usage in your workspace, or publish a static page with Artifacts on your current plan.
