Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about building apps with AI.

Answers to the questions people ask before and while building with limewAI. Each answer is written to stand on its own, with links to the detailed policy pages in the site footer.

Getting started

What is limewAI?

limewAI is an AI app builder. You describe an app in plain language, or add an image for context, and limewAI creates a working web app with source code and a live preview.

How do I build an app without coding?

Create a project and describe the result you want, the people who will use it, and the main tasks it should support. limewAI handles the planning, source generation, build checks, and preview, while you guide the result through conversation.

What should I include in my first request?

State the kind of app, who it is for, and the most important action it must complete. Useful details include the pages, fields, calculations, records, visual tone, and whether people need to sign in.

Who is limewAI for?

limewAI is for business owners, teams, specialists, creators, and people exploring a software idea. It is most useful when you understand the problem and desired outcome but do not want to begin with a full technical specification.

What languages can I write my request in?

You can write requests in English, Arabic, or a mixture of languages. limewAI processes the request for building while the generated app language and right-to-left direction follow the project’s language choice.

Building apps

What kinds of apps can limewAI build?

limewAI can build public websites, calculators, dashboards, stores, booking interfaces, portals, trackers, record-management apps, and other browser-based software. A focused first request usually produces a clearer first version than a request for an entire large platform at once.

Does limewAI create a mockup or a real app?

limewAI generates ordinary web-app source and runs build and browser checks before showing the result. The preview is intended to be an interactive app, not a static design mockup.

How long does it take to build an app?

Time depends on the size of the request, AI response time, validation, packaging, and preview startup. A focused app can be ready in minutes, while a larger app or a request needing repair can take longer.

Can limewAI build an app that saves data?

Yes. Requests that create, edit, list, or search records can include persistent data and API routes. You should test the generated permissions and data rules before using the app with sensitive or regulated information.

Can limewAI create a mobile app?

limewAI currently builds responsive web apps that work across desktop and mobile browser widths. A phone screenshot can guide a mobile-first layout, but the generated result is a web app rather than a native iOS or Android package.

Images

Can I build an app from a screenshot or image?

Yes. Attach the image with a sentence explaining whether you want to follow its layout, borrow its style, reproduce a function, use it as content, extract information, or fix a problem it shows.

Can limewAI copy a design from a screenshot?

limewAI can use a screenshot to follow layout, proportions, colours, spacing, and interaction ideas. It does not intentionally copy another company’s logo, brand name, or trademarked text into your app.

Can I upload a logo or product photo?

Yes. Tell limewAI that the image is content and where it should appear, such as a logo in the header or a photo in a product card. Uploaded images are stored with the project and prepared for web use.

Can limewAI read a menu, table, or price list from an image?

Yes. Ask it to extract the visible content and use it in the app. Review the result carefully because small text, glare, handwriting, or a low-quality image can affect extraction accuracy.

What happens if limewAI cannot read my image?

The build continues from your written request instead of stopping. limewAI keeps the message and gives a plain notice that the image could not be used.

Editing

Can I edit my app after it is built?

Yes. Send a follow-up message in the project chat describing the change. A successful edit creates a new version of the same app so earlier work remains part of the project history.

How specific should an edit request be?

Name the page or area, say what should change, and state what should remain the same. For example, “On the checkout page, make the main button green and keep the layout and wording unchanged” is easier to verify than “improve it.”

Will an edit replace everything I already built?

An edit is intended to improve the existing version in place. limewAI compares the result with the previous app and keeps the previous working version when a change cannot be completed safely.

Can I go back to an earlier version?

Yes. The project version history lets you select an earlier version and make it current. Later edits then continue from the version you chose.

Can I fix a visual problem by attaching a screenshot?

Yes. Attach a screenshot and describe the problem, such as overlapping elements or an unreadable button. limewAI uses the screenshot to locate the affected area and focuses the edit there.

Preview and publishing

What is the live preview?

The live preview is the running version of your generated web app inside the builder. It lets you use the app’s controls and review a version before publishing it.

Why do I sometimes see a saved preview first?

Interactive preview machines can stop when they are not being used. limewAI can show the last saved view immediately while it starts the interactive app, then switch to the running preview when it is ready.

Can I publish my app?

Yes. The Publish area can create a public link for a completed version. The current plan and platform publication limits determine how many projects you can keep published.

What happens when a published app is sleeping?

A sleeping published app starts again when it is visited. While it starts, visitors may briefly see a simple starting message instead of a connection that appears to hang.

How long does a Free published app stay online?

A Free-plan publication is eligible for removal after 30 days without recorded activity. A visit records activity and paid publications do not use that Free inactivity limit.

Plans and credits

How do limewAI credits work?

Credits represent AI and build usage inside limewAI. The product shows available, reserved, and used credits, and records wallet changes in a credit ledger.

What happens if a build does not finish?

limewAI is designed to keep or create a working preview even when a step cannot finish. When a job does not deliver a usable result under the refund rules, its reserved or charged credits are released or refunded.

Can I buy credits without changing my plan?

Yes, when credit packs are active on the Billing page. A verified payment adds the pack’s credits to your wallet without requiring a plan change.

Do paid plans renew automatically?

limewAI uses renewal invoices and payment links rather than an automatic recurring charge. A verified renewal payment extends the plan and adds the credits for the new period.

What happens when I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel?

An upgrade takes effect after payment is verified. A downgrade is scheduled for the end of the paid period, and cancellation keeps the current plan active until that period ends before moving the account to Free.

Data and security

Do I own the app I create?

As between you and limewAI, you own your generated application source and content. Third-party packages, open-source software, and material you did not own remain subject to their own rights and licences.

Is my data safe?

limewAI uses HTTPS, hashed passwords, signed sessions, project ownership checks, encrypted cloud storage, managed secrets, and generated-code safety checks. No online service can promise absolute security, so review the Security page for the controls confirmed in the current platform.

Can another customer see my project?

Customer project routes check both the project identifier and the signed-in owner. Preview access is also tied to one user and one preview session rather than granting general account access.

What data is sent to the AI provider?

The AI provider can receive your request, relevant project context, selected source files, validation errors, and attached images when image understanding is enabled. limewAI sends what is needed for the operation rather than your complete account record.

Does limewAI store my card details?

No card fields are collected in the limewAI application. Hosted checkout is handled by PAY2M, while limewAI stores the order, amount, status, callback history, and provider transaction reference needed for billing records.

Troubleshooting

What should I do if the preview is still starting?

Keep the project open while limewAI starts the interactive preview. The saved version should remain visible, and you can use Try again if startup reaches its limit.

Why did limewAI keep my previous version?

The requested update did not pass the checks needed to replace the working app. limewAI keeps the previous version so an unsuccessful edit does not remove or break what you already had.

Why does my build look simpler than I expected?

A broad request may be delivered as a smaller working version when the complete result cannot be produced safely in one pass. Review what is present, then ask for the most important missing page or behaviour as a focused edit.

Why was my payment not added immediately?

A payment must be verified against its limewAI order before credits or a plan are applied. PAY2M callbacks can be delayed, so the Billing page may show that confirmation is still in progress.

How can I get a better result from limewAI?

Start with one clear outcome, identify the main user, and describe the action that must work. For edits, name the page and element, explain the desired change, and say what should stay unchanged.
