Do I need a server or a hosting account?

Not with Bunbird. Each app is deployed and kept running for you, with its own link to share.

What happens to the data when the app changes?

With Bunbird, the data is migrated automatically as the app evolves, and you can go back to any earlier version with a single request.

Where do you host an app you built with AI?

Updated 19 October 2026

Option 1: deploy the code yourself

Copy the code into a repository and deploy it on a hosting provider. It gives you full control, but you also take on everything else: the database, user accounts, domain, security updates and fixing it when it breaks.

It makes sense if you are a developer, or if the app will grow into a product with an engineering team behind it.

Option 2: a builder that hosts its own output

Some AI app builders generate a project and host it for you. You usually still work with a project (files, settings and integrations) and you are the one who maintains it over time.

Option 3: deploy straight from the chat

With Bunbird connected to ChatGPT or Claude, you never touch the code. You describe the app, and Bunbird deploys it with everything it needs already set up:

A link like holidays-acme.bunbird.app, live in minutes.
Sign-in, invites and roles for the people you share it with.
A managed database whose data moves along when the app changes.
Hosting and deployment handled by Bunbird.

How to choose

Ask yourself who will look after the app in six months. If the answer is “nobody”, choose an option where someone else runs it. Small internal tools rarely fall out of use because of the code. It is usually because nobody keeps them running.
