# What is Evonx?

Learn how Evonx turns a plain-language idea into a working business app you own, with AI building, previewing, and publishing for you.

Evonx is an AI platform that turns descriptions into working business software. You
explain what you need in your own words; Evonx plans the work, writes the code,
shows you the result running in a live preview, and publishes it as an app you own.

## Who Evonx is for

You don't need to be a developer. Evonx is built for people who know their business
better than anyone — shop owners, accountants, operations managers, founders — and
for developers who want AI to carry the routine work while they stay in control of
the code.

## What you can do with it

- **Start from an idea.** Describe an app that doesn't exist yet, and Evonx creates
  it from scratch: the screens your team uses and the backend that stores the data.
  See [Start from an idea](/docs/build/start-from-an-idea).
- **Start from a template.** Launch a proven app — bookkeeping, CRM, inventory,
  appointments, field service — and evolve it into exactly what you need. See
  [Start from a template](/docs/build/start-from-a-template).
- **Improve software you already have.** Connect GitHub, import an existing
  repository, and ask for changes in plain language. See
  [Import from GitHub](/docs/build/import-from-github).

Whatever the starting point, the same loop applies: **describe → build → preview →
publish**, with you approving each meaningful step.

## What makes it different

- **You see it running before it ships.** Every change can be tried in an isolated
  [live preview](/docs/preview-and-debug/preview-hub) — a private, temporary copy of
  your app — before it touches anything real.
- **You own the result.** Your app lives in real repositories with real code. AI
  changes arrive as pull requests you can review, merge, or reject — never silent
  edits. See [Publishing changes](/docs/evolve/publishing-changes).
- **The work is structured.** Bigger requests run as
  [Evolution Threads](/docs/evolve/evolution-threads): the AI plans, designs with
  mockups you approve, builds in verified steps, and only then ships.

## What Evonx is not

Evonx is not a website builder with fixed blocks, and it's not a code assistant that
leaves you to run everything yourself. It manages the whole life of your app —
building, running previews, databases, publishing, domains, and monitoring — while
keeping every decision visible to you.
