  • View and edit all your created apps
  • Preview apps before deploying
  • View database
  • Deploy or un-deploy apps anytime
  • Access version history to view or revert changes
  • Configure and manage custom domains

Whether you're refining an existing app or managing multiple projects, the console gives you full control in one place.

How to Add a Database to Your App?​

If your app requires a database, you don't need to worry about setting one up yourself. Just mention your data needs in your prompt, and Abacus AI Deep Agent will create the necessary database for you, including tables, fields, and sample data when needed.

Once the app is created successfully, you can view/export the database from Apps Management Console or respective Abacus AI Deep Agent conversation.

Vibe Coding Guide​

Effective Prompting: Crisp, Concise, and Contextual​

Your app is only as good as the instructions you give it. That's why we recommend following:

  • Crisp – Keep your prompt clean and free from fluff.
  • Concise – Use simple language and get to the point quickly.
  • Contextual – Make sure Abacus AI Deep Agent understands what you're trying to build. Share any relevant background and context.

The more clearly you explain what you want, the more likely you are to get the results you're aiming for.

Build Iteratively with Checkpoints​

Don't try to build everything at once—build your app step by step.

Before you start prompting, take a moment to think like a product manager or engineer. Break down your app idea into smaller parts or milestones. Then, build and test one part at a time.

Here's a simple flow to follow:

  1. Break it down – Split complex features into small, manageable tasks.
  2. Prompt the AI – Ask Abacus AI Deep Agent to build just one task at a time.
  3. Test immediately – Use the preview window to check if it works the way you expect.
  4. Decide –
    • If it works: great! Move on to the next task.
    • If it doesn't: roll back and try again.

Abacus AI Deep Agent automatically saves your progress as checkpoints, like save-points in a game. You can roll back up to the last 5 checkpoints, so make sure to test after each step. That way, you won't lose a version that was working well.

Building in small steps keeps things stable, makes debugging easier, and helps you stay in control.

Authentication and RBAC Made Easy​

Abacus AI Deep Agent takes the pain out of setting up login and access control.

With built-in support for Authentication and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), you don't need to worry about technical setup or third-party tools. There's no coding, no configuration, and no external integrations required.

Just describe what kind of login system or access control you want in your prompt, and Abacus AI Deep Agent will handle the rest—quickly and securely.

Built-In Database Support​

Need a database? Abacus AI Deep Agent sets it up for you—automatically.​

If your app requires a database, you don't need to worry about setting one up yourself. Just mention your data needs in your prompt, and Abacus AI Deep Agent will create the necessary database for you, including tables, fields, and sample data when needed.

Sometimes, you might notice the app using dummy data instead of a real database—especially in early versions or quick mockups. If that happens, simply prompt the AI with something like: "Set up a real database and connect it to this app."

Abacus AI Deep Agent will replace the dummy data with a proper backend setup so your app is ready for real users and dynamic content.

Launch your app in one click—no setup, no stress​

With Abacus AI Deep Agent, deploying your app is incredibly simple. You can publish it instantly using a free Abacus-hosted domain—perfect for quick demos, testing, or sharing your work.

Want to use your own domain?​
  • Custom Domain – Point your existing domain to the app by updating your nameservers through your domain provider.

Whether you're launching something personal, professional, or experimental, Abacus AI Deep Agent makes deployment effortless.

Debugging Your App​

When you're vibe coding, a few errors are totally normal—don't panic!

If something breaks or doesn't work as expected, Abacus AI Deep Agent can help you fix it. Here's what to do when things go off track:

How to Debug with Abacus AI Deep Agent:​
  • Describe the issue clearly - Tell Abacus AI Deep Agent what's going wrong and where it's happening on your app (e.g., "The submit button isn't working on the form"). The clearer you are, the better the fix.
  • Copy error messages into the prompt- If you see an error in the preview window, copy and paste the full message into your prompt. Abacus AI Deep Agent can often identify and correct the issue directly from that.
  • Use checkpoints to roll back- If things get too messy, just revert to a previous checkpoint and rebuild from a stable version. It's like a built-in safety net.
  • Always re-test after debugging- Once you've made a fix, test the app thoroughly to make sure everything works as expected before moving forward.

Remember: errors are part of the process. The key is to fix, test, and keep iterating with confidence.

By following these tips, you can make the most out of Abacus AI Deep Agent's powerful capabilities. Happy vibe coding!
