FAQ

Short answers to the questions people ask most often about what Skarmy builds, what it costs, and what it does not do yet.

Getting started

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe what you want in plain language and the Builder makes every technical decision. Nothing in these docs assumes you can read code.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Skarmy runs entirely in your browser at app.skarmy.ai.

Can I try it without an account?

Yes. You arrive signed in as a guest and can talk to the coach right away. You create an account when you open the Builder, and everything you started as a guest carries over.

How long does a first build take?

A few minutes. The whole loop — idea, conversation, build, publish — takes about twenty minutes the first time.

What Skarmy builds

What exactly do I get?

A working web product: real pages, real copy written for your idea, and a design chosen to suit it. Good enough to show someone the same day.

Can it take payments or sign users up?

First versions use sample data rather than a live backend — no customer accounts and no services wired in. The one exception is payments: with Stripe connected, the Builder can create a real payment link in your own Stripe account and put it on your site.

Can it build a mobile app?

No. Skarmy builds web products. If your idea is a native app, the coach will say so and steer you toward the web version that proves it — a landing page with a waitlist, or a clickable demo.

Can I edit the code myself?

You can browse everything the Builder writes under Files, and edit your business plan there. The app itself changes only by asking the Builder in the conversation.

Can I export my code to GitHub?

Not yet. Code export is not available; your files are browsable in the app.

Agents

How many agents are there?

Two that you talk to: the coach, which follows you through the app and sharpens your ideas, and the Builder, which builds in a workspace. Daily task suggestions and automations are Skarmy working in the background, not extra agents to manage.

Why does the coach refuse to answer about my plan?

It genuinely cannot see your account, credits, or plan. Those live in Settings and on the Usage page.

Why does the Builder ask me questions?

Only when a choice would genuinely change what gets built. It never asks about technical decisions — those are its own.

Can Skarmy send emails or post for me automatically?

No, by design. Skarmy sends or posts only when you ask in the moment, and automations never send anything — they leave drafts for your okay. See App permissions.

Publishing

What address does my site get?

A name you choose plus .skarmy.ai — for example kilnwork.skarmy.ai. You pick it once, on your first publish, and it stays with that workspace.

Can I use my own domain?

Not yet. Published sites live at yourname.skarmy.ai.

Does my live site update automatically?

No. A published site is a snapshot and changes only when you publish again — and every publish waits for your explicit approval. That is deliberate: you can keep building without changing what visitors see.

Can I change my address later?

Not currently. Create a new workspace and publish that if you need a different name.

Can I unpublish?

There is no unpublish button in the app. Deleting the workspace takes its site down permanently — or contact support if you need a site taken down without losing the workspace.

Running your company

Where do the daily task suggestions come from?

Skarmy writes them from your business plan and what has actually happened in your company. They start after your first build. See Daily tasks.

What integrations are available?

Dozens — Gmail, Google Calendar, Stripe, Notion, Slack, HubSpot, and more, listed on the Apps page. Connect one and ask the coach to work it in plain language. See Connect your apps.

Does my company really get its own email address?

Yes — [e-mail], with a real inbox in the app. See Your company inbox.

Do tasks, email, and automations cost credits?

No. Credits are spent on building. Tasks, the coach, the inbox, and automation runs are covered by fair-use limits instead.

Credits and plans

What spends credits?

Three things: the Builder working, the machine running your app while your session is awake, and each publish.

Do unused credits roll over?

Daily and monthly allowances do not roll over. Purchased top-up credits never expire.

What happens when I run out?

Work pauses. Nothing is deleted — your workspaces, files, and published site are untouched. Add credits or wait for the daily allowance to refill at midnight UTC.

How much does a plan cost?

Pro is $20 a month and Business is$50 a month, with yearly billing at the equivalent of nine months. The Billing page in the app is always authoritative. See Plans.

Can I cap my spending?

Yes. Set a Monthly spend limit on the Usage page. Usage pauses for the month once spend reaches the cap.

Teams and access

Can I invite teammates?

Not yet. The invite field in Settings returns Invites are coming soon. A company today belongs to one person.

Is there an API?

No. Skarmy does not currently offer a public API or API keys.

How many companies can I have?

Up to ten, switched from the top of the sidebar. Each has its own workspaces, tasks, inbox, and apps.
