Studio

Nubo Studio is a prompt-first app builder. You describe what you want, a small crew of AI agents designs and writes it, you watch it run live in your browser, and when you’re happy you publish it to your Nubo account, where it runs as a normal Frame. There’s nothing to install. Open studio.withnubo.com, sign in with your Nubo account, and type what you want to build.

​

How it works

1. You land on a prompt box and describe the app.
2. A Project Manager agent reads your prompt, asks a few sharp questions about style, UX, and scope, and writes a short brief.
3. The PM delegates: a Designer settles the look (palette, type, layout) and a Developer writes the code.
4. As the Developer writes files, the app runs live in an in-browser sandbox. You see it update as it’s built, no deploy needed.
5. When you’re happy, publish. Studio ships a real Frame to your Nubo account and gives you a live *.nubo.onl URL.

The PM is the only agent you talk to. The Designer and Developer work behind it, and the PM summarizes what they did back to you. You get one calm conversation while the real work fans out in the background.

​

The live preview

The preview runs entirely in your browser: dependencies install and the dev server boots right there in the sandbox. That means it’s fast, and you can iterate as many times as you like before anything touches your Nubo account. Publishing is a separate, explicit step.

​

Databases and extra services

If your app needs persistence, the crew doesn’t just fake it. When the PM decides the project needs a database (or a genuinely separate service), it asks you first: an approval card shows up in the chat. Authorize it and Studio provisions the infrastructure on Nubo, then wires the database into your app as a DATABASE_URL environment variable automatically. So a Studio project isn’t limited to a single static page. An app plus its database is a normal shape, and each piece becomes its own Frame in your account.

​

Publishing to Nubo

Published apps are not a special kind of deployment. When you publish, Studio:

1. Pushes the generated code to a GitHub repository you own.
2. Creates (or reuses) a Project and Space in your Nubo account, then creates a Frame from that repo.
3. Streams the build and hands you the live URL when it’s up.

From that point on it’s a regular Frame. You manage it from the dashboard like anything else you deploy: environment variables, logs, deploy history, stop and start, custom domains, all of it. You can keep iterating in Studio and publish again, or take over the repo and work on the code directly.

​

When to use it

Studio is the fastest path from “I have an idea” to “it’s live on the internet”. It’s a good fit for landing pages, small tools, prototypes, and apps you want to stand up without opening an editor. When you outgrow it, the code is yours: it’s a normal repo deployed as a normal Frame, so switching to hand-written commits is just pushing to the branch. If you’d rather deploy code you’ve already written, start with the quickstart instead.
