How it works
From a sentence to something you can open.
Five stages. You are involved in all of them, but only where your judgement is the thing that is needed.
The five stages
You are asked for two things, and can stop it at any point.
Start
You: You describe it
Chovy: Chovy saves it as the app's first note
Your idea, written down in one place
Shape
You: You read the plan and fix what's wrong
Chovy: Chovy turns your note into screens, a first release, and open questions
A plan in plain English, with the undecided parts marked clearly
Build
You: You wait, or add a note
Chovy: Your team builds in a private space that's just for this app
A timeline: who's working on what, and what's finished
Review
You: You open the preview and decide
Chovy: Chovy collects the working preview and the list of what changed
A link you can open on your phone, and two buttons
Launch
You: You run four checks and type LAUNCH
Chovy: Chovy prepares the domain and deployment — it doesn't run them
A checklist, and a clear statement of what is and isn't live
Where you come in
Five moments, and they are all decisions.
Everything else is Chovy's job. These are the points where your judgement is the thing that is actually needed, and none of them can be taken on your behalf.
- Approving the plan before anyone builds.
- Answering the open questions the plan couldn't decide for you.
- Reviewing each finished piece of work.
- Approving anything that costs money.
- Typing LAUNCH.
The part that matters
It has to show you before it tells you.
Chovy is not allowed to report success on a build unless three things are true: a new commit exists, files actually changed, and the app's address answers from the open internet with your app rather than the holding page.
Miss one and the work stays open and you are told which. On top of that, each statement from your plan is answered individually — and one nothing proved is reported as unproved.

✓Files changed6 files

And then
Everything after the first build is a conversation.
A plan you can actually read
Your idea, written back to you as screens, decisions, and a first release. Change anything before work starts.
Progress you can see
Who's building what, right now, without chasing anyone for an update.
Something real to look at
Every piece of work comes back with a working preview you can open on your phone.
A developer when you want one
Invite yours, or ask ours. They arrive already knowing the whole story.
Read a plan before you decide.
Describing an app and reading what Chovy intends to build costs nothing.
