chaibuilder-app

Scaffold and manage ChaiBuilder apps effortlessly with an interactive CLI.

Deploying without a local setup? You can skip the CLI entirely: deploy the starter to a host such as Vercel, then open /setup on the deployed site. That wizard performs the same steps as create — migrations, admin user, and app record — and hands back the environment variables to paste into your host. Use this CLI when you want to develop locally.
