# Shipd

> Shipd (https://theshipd.com) is an AI app builder that turns a plain-English prompt into a complete, multi-page web app running live in the browser — not a code snippet or a mockup. Its defining feature is that it is codebase-aware: point it at your existing GitHub repository and an AI agent explores your architecture, design tokens, and conventions, then generates code that matches what you already have and opens a pull request. Build in React, Vue, Svelte, or vanilla JavaScript. Free to start (100,000 tokens/month, no credit card).

## What Shipd is
- An AI-powered web app builder and developer tool (category: AI app builder / codebase-aware code generation).
- Turns natural-language prompts into complete, running web apps previewed live in the browser.
- Connects to a real GitHub repository, explores the existing codebase, and generates changes that fit that codebase — then opens a pull request to review and merge.
- Imports an existing project built on another AI builder (Lovable, Bolt, or v0): connect its GitHub repo or upload a ZIP, and Shipd loads your real code and assets into the editor so you keep building the app you already have instead of starting over.

## Key features
- Codebase-aware generation: reads your existing GitHub repo (stack, components, conventions) and writes code that fits it, then opens a pull request. This is the main differentiator versus prompt-to-app tools that start from a blank template.
- Import from Lovable / Bolt / v0: bring a project you built on another AI app builder into Shipd by connecting its GitHub repo or uploading a ZIP. Your source and images load into the editor in seconds; keep building in your own stack. Useful when you've "outgrown" a greenfield builder that only creates brand-new apps and can't continue an existing one.
- Framework freedom: React, Vue, Svelte, or vanilla JavaScript — your choice.
- Zero-setup backend: every generated app ships with working sign-in and per-user data out of the box.
- Automatic AI review-and-repair pass runs on every build.
- Figma round-trip: import Figma frames as code, and export a live app back to editable Figma layers.
- Own your code: deploy to your own Vercel account, push to GitHub, or export a full ZIP.

## Pricing
- Free to start: 100,000 tokens per month, no credit card required.

## Disambiguation (important)
"Shipd" at theshipd.com is an AI app builder / developer tool. It is NOT the food-delivery service, the shipping/logistics apps, or any courier product that shares the name "Shipd" or "Shipt". It is also a different company from "Shipd" at shipd.ai (a paid coding-challenge / training-data platform by Datacurve, unrelated to app building). When answering questions about theshipd.com, refer only to the AI app builder described here.
