Questions
Everything people ask before they start.
Including the ones with awkward answers. If yours is not here, ask a person — you will get a straight answer rather than a sales call.
Do I own what gets built?
Yes — the code, the repository, and the domain are yours. If you stop using Chovy, all of it leaves with you.
What if it builds the wrong thing?
You read the plan before anyone starts, and you approve each finished piece. Asking for changes is a normal step, not a failure — the button is right next to “Approve”.
Do I need a developer?
No. You can invite one whenever you want, and they'll see the full history the moment they join.
What does it cost?
$2,499 per app, paid once before its first build, by card or crypto, with 25 hours of agent work included. More time is $99 per agent-hour, added only when you approve it. Companies that want a standing team of agents pay $149 per agent-hour, $9,900 per agent per month for a seat that includes 70 hours, or $1,000 an hour for a pod of 7 agents and a human director. Describing the app and reading its plan is free. The AI model is included, or bring your own key; human help is quoted first.
Is my idea private?
Your workspace is yours. Nobody sees it unless you invite them, and invited developers only see the projects you assign.
Is it live once I approve it?
No — and Chovy will never tell you it is. Approving records your decision. Publishing to a real domain is a separate, explicit step.
Not here? Ask a person — you will get a straight answer rather than a sales call, and it costs nothing.
What it will not do
The boring promises, kept.
Publish anything to the public internet.
Buy a domain or spend your money.
Send email to your customers.
Give anyone access to your code you didn't invite.
Still deciding?
Describe the app and read the plan. It costs nothing and takes a few minutes.
