How Pave Works
Build apps your business can actually use. No surprise costs. No loose ends.
Get a real working app, just like that
Chat with AI, make changes, and start working
1. Describe what you need
Tell Pave what you need in plain language. Describe the workflow, upload supporting context, or start with existing data.
You can start with:
- a text description of what you want
- a spreadsheet with existing data
- a PDF or process diagram
- or a mix of all three
The more context you provide, the more tailored the result. But even a simple description can produce a structured application.
2. Shape your app
Pave builds a custom app in minutes with the core structure already in place—data, UI, and logic. From there, you can refine it through conversation and make changes directly.
Pave generates:
- a data layer with fields, types, and relationships
- user interfaces like forms, views, and dashboards
- business logic like formulas, conditional rules, and calculated fields
- notifications based on the triggers you define.
You can also:
- keep prompting to add features, change layouts, or refine logic
- edit manually to inspect and adjust tables, fields, and relationships directly
- roll back to an earlier version if a change doesn’t work
Everything happens in draft mode, so nothing goes live until you choose to publish.
3. Deploy
When you’re ready, you can publish your app, invite users, assign roles, and start using it. No hosting setup. No deployment pipelines. No engineering handoffs.
Your app goes live on enterprise infrastructure, hosted, managed, and ready to use.
Once you publish your app, you can:
- invite users as Admins, Participants, or Viewers
- control access at the app or project level
- keep building in draft mode and publish updates when you’re ready
- set up SSO
