Live workspace

Code, chat, and preview in one place.

The workspace is built for repeated product work, not disposable demos. Every generated file stays inspectable, every change is visible, and every follow-up can target the exact part of the app you care about.

01 · EDITOR

Generated code, ready to edit.

Every file BYOB writes stays visible and editable. Follow-ups target the exact lines you care about instead of regenerating from scratch.

Prompt to app

From first prompt to a workspace you can ship.

Start conversationally, approve the shape, let Tool Mode implement, then refine and deploy from the same workspace.

  1. 01 Describe the product Start with the outcome, audience, and any constraints. BYOB turns the idea into a practical build plan.
  2. 02 Shape the UX Review the proposed flows, screens, data needs, and visual direction before code starts moving.
  3. 03 Generate the app Tool Mode writes SvelteKit code, connects integrations, and keeps each change visible in preview.
  4. 04 Test and refine Ask for edits, roll back when needed, run checks, and keep the project editable instead of disposable.
  5. 05 Deploy Ship the finished app, connect domains, and keep iterating from the same workspace.

Agent and backend

Code with your agent, ship with a real backend.

Connect Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity to your project, then store data and ship to production without leaving the workspace.

  • Approve project access from BYOB
  • Installs the byob command
  • Preview, deploy, git diff, DNS, credits, and code tools
npm
npx -y byob-cli codex install

Approve only the projects your agent can touch, then read context, edit files, inspect diffs, test previews, and roll back from your terminal.

Built for shipping

The parts that usually slow you down are already here.

BYOB handles product planning, implementation, preview, testing, database work, and deployment from one focused interface, with coding-agent access and production analytics when you want to keep working from your own terminal.

This part is hands-on. The cards drift until you touch them. Drag to rearrange, or press and hold one to feel it push back.

Agent integrations

Give Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity scoped access through BYOB CLI or Agent MCP. Your agent reads context, edits code, tests previews, and deploys from your terminal.

Git history and diffs

Every change lands as a commit. Inspect history, compare diffs, and see exactly what changed since the last deploy.

Inbox in every project

Every project ships with an inbox. Collect messages, leads, and feedback from your app without wiring a third party.

Email sending built in

Send magic links, OTP codes, and transactional mail from your own sender address. Resend-backed, no SMTP setup.

Google and magic-link login

Offer Continue with Google plus passwordless email codes. Sessions and callbacks are handled.

Custom domains and SSL

Point your domain at BYOB with guided DNS checks. Certificates are automatic.

Visual editing

Click any element in the live preview and describe the change. Copy, spacing, color, behavior.

AI testing agent

Run full-site or feature checks and get implementation-level feedback you can apply in one step.

Version rollback

Step between saved states or redeploy a known commit when an experiment goes sideways.

One-click deploy

Builds publish to production hosting in one step. Deploys can auto-save the project state first.

Deployment analytics

Worker traffic, errors, CPU timing, subrequests, and custom-domain status from the workspace.

Supabase aware

Connect Supabase and BYOB reads schemas, drafts migrations, and generates types that match your app.

Team collaboration

Invite people in and keep sessions coordinated so work never overwrites work.

  • Vision inputs
  • Voice coding
  • Project templates
  • SEO-ready output
  • Context tracking
  • Model lock

BYOB builds a Chicago retail website from a prompt: a product catalogue, store hours and location, local pickup details and a checkout through a supported provider such as built-in payments. You connect your own domain, edit products and copy yourself, and can present events, loyalty and in-store offers.

What a Chicago retail store needs online

A retail site has to do two jobs at once, because Chicago shoppers use it before choosing whether to visit. It should present products clearly and state hours, address and the nearest CTA stop, so someone in Wicker Park knows the trip to Andersonville is realistic. BYOB generates a storefront-style site from a prompt, then hands you a visual editor to adjust the order of products, add a seasonal feature and rewrite descriptions in your own voice rather than a template's.

A product catalogue that is easy to maintain

Create product pages or a grid grouped by category, with clear photos, honest descriptions and prices you can update in about 30 seconds. Retailers add new stock constantly, so the catalogue should be editable without a developer. If your range is large, data storage-backed admin page can hold the products and feed the public grid, keeping everything in one place. Consistent image sizing and a short, specific description for each item do more for conversion than decorative styling.

Selling online and in store

Not every Chicago retailer wants a full e-commerce operation, and that is fine. You can publish a catalogue and a contact form, or connect a supported payment provider such as built-in payments for direct online checkout. For stores that prefer to keep transactions in person, offer a reservation or click-and-collect request instead. The site should make your actual model clear, whether that is buy-online, visit-the-shop or a mix of both, so customers know what to expect.

Neighborhood stores and shopping districts

Chicago retail is proudly local, and people browse by district: the Magnificent Mile, State Street, Andersonville, Wicker Park, Pilsen, Hyde Park and the many blocks in between. Naming your neighborhood and what makes the shop worth the trip helps local search and sets expectations. If you have more than one storefront, give each its own page with its own hours, parking notes and pickup details. A strong store page reads like an invitation, not a directory listing.

Payments, pickup and local delivery

Make the practical details impossible to miss: how to pay, where to collect an online order, and whether you deliver locally. State pickup windows and any cut-off time for same-day collection, since these small details cause most customer questions. Payment online runs through a supported provider like built-in payments, while in-store card and contactless payment continues as normal. When the site answers the pickup and payment questions up front, staff spend less time on the phone and more time with customers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell products online through BYOB?

You can present a catalogue and connect a supported payment provider such as built-in payments for checkout. BYOB is not a native commerce engine like Shopify.

Can I update products and prices myself?

Yes. Products, descriptions and prices are editable in the visual editor, or via data storage-backed admin page for a larger catalogue.

Should I offer local pickup?

If you do, state the pickup window and any cut-off time clearly on the product and contact pages to avoid customer confusion.

How does BYOB compare with Shopify?

Shopify is a dedicated commerce platform. BYOB is better when you want a custom, owned site that can grow into booking or a client portal, with checkout through a supported provider.
