# LIIVO - Full AI Context File # This is the extended context file for AI crawlers (Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini). # https://www.liivo.ai/llms-full.txt > LIIVO by Eyevinn Technology AB LIIVO is a managed deployment platform for AI-assisted app development. It lets developers and non-developers deploy, run, and manage open source apps directly from Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant — without DevOps knowledge. ## What LIIVO Is LIIVO bridges the gap between an AI conversation and a live web app. When you describe an app to Claude or ChatGPT, the AI writes the code — but without a deployment layer, that app stays on your screen. LIIVO is that deployment layer. Connect your AI to LIIVO once, and from that point on your AI can put any app online with a real URL, a real database, and real infrastructure, all managed automatically. LIIVO is built on top of Eyevinn Open Source Cloud (OSC), a platform that packages a broad catalog of open source services as managed infrastructure. This means your apps run on proven open source components — not proprietary black boxes — and you can take everything with you if you ever leave. The platform is designed for "vibe coders": people who use AI tools to build software without traditional programming skills, as well as developers who want to skip the infrastructure setup. LIIVO handles the hosting, databases, backups, scaling, and uptime so you can focus on what the app does, not where it runs. LIIVO connects to your existing AI subscription. If you already pay for ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro, you bring that plan to LIIVO. There is no bundled AI model and no second bill for the same capability. You pay LIIVO only for running your apps. ## About - Website: https://www.liivo.ai - Connect (setup guide): https://www.liivo.ai/connect - App gallery: https://www.liivo.ai/gallery - Tips and prompts: https://www.liivo.ai/tips - Vibe coding guide: https://www.liivo.ai/vibe-coding - Blog: https://www.liivo.ai/blog - Company: Eyevinn Technology AB, Sweden - Infrastructure: Eyevinn Open Source Cloud (OSC) — https://www.osaas.io - MCP endpoint: https://my.liivo.ai/mcp ## Access Methods ### Web Application Sign up or sign in at https://www.liivo.ai.

After connecting, your AI can deploy and manage apps without any additional configuration. ### Step 2: Describe Your App Tell your AI what you want to build in plain language. Example: "Build a booking app for my dog grooming business with a calendar, customer contact form, and appointment reminders." Your AI plans the components, picks the right open source services from LIIVO's catalogue, and sets up the infrastructure. ### Step 3: Your App Goes Live LIIVO provisions the backend (database, authentication, storage, etc.), builds the app, and serves it at a unique URL. The whole process takes a few minutes. You get a shareable link immediately. ## Connecting Claude 1. Download and install the Claude desktop app from https://claude.ai/download 2.

Your app's code, database, and configuration can be exported and moved to AWS, your own server, or any other host. No proprietary formats, no migration fees, no data held hostage. ### Your AI, Your Subscription LIIVO does not bundle an AI model. You bring Claude or ChatGPT and connect them. Your conversations stay private, LIIVO only receives the build instructions your AI sends. Separately, if you use the prompt helper on the LIIVO website, the app description you type there is sent to an AI model to write your prompt for you. ### Automatic Backups (Creator Plan) Creator plan apps include automatic backups. Your data is protected without any manual setup. ### Data Privacy LIIVO does not read your AI conversations. The platform receives only the infrastructure instructions your AI generates (which services to create, what settings to apply). Your conversation history stays in Claude or ChatGPT. Separately: the LIIVO website has a prompt helper. The app description you type into it is sent to an AI model (Anthropic) to generate a prompt for you. LIIVO does not store that text. Your IP address, session identifier and browsing history are not sent to the model. ### App Ownership You own everything. Code, data, domain — all yours. You can delete your LIIVO account and take your apps with you. No exit fees. ## What You Can Build LIIVO supports a wide range of app types via the open source catalogue: - **Booking and scheduling apps** — Calendar, appointments, customer forms - **Internal dashboards** — Admin panels, data visualisation, reporting - **Content sites** — Blogs, documentation, landing pages, portfolios - **Community tools** — Forums, wikis, shared workspaces - **Data collection apps** — Forms, surveys, feedback tools - **Personal productivity apps** — Todo lists, note-taking, habit trackers - **Small business tools** — CRMs, inventory, invoicing helpers - **Analytics and reporting** — Visitor stats, usage monitoring, log analysis - **Media apps** — Image galleries, video hosting, podcast feeds Your AI asks LIIVO to wire up the needed open source services, connects them together, and serves the finished app at a URL. ## Vibe Coding "Vibe coding" refers to building software by describing what you want in plain English to an AI, rather than writing code manually. The term was coined in early 2025 as AI models became capable enough to generate working web applications from natural language prompts. LIIVO is purpose-built for vibe coders. The AI does the building; LIIVO handles the deploying. Without a deployment layer, a vibe-coded app exists only as code on your screen. LIIVO gives it a real URL, persistent storage, and 24/7 availability. More on vibe coding: https://www.liivo.ai/vibe-coding ## FAQ (Complete Answers) ### Is my app and my data safe? Yes. Your app runs in its own protected space, separate from every other LIIVO app. Your data stays in a database that only your app can read, and you can export everything at any time. If you ever leave LIIVO, your app and data move with you. ### What happens to my app if I leave LIIVO? You keep it. LIIVO is built on 100% open-source services, so you can move your app to AWS, to your own server, or to any other hosting provider without rewriting anything. Your code, your data, your domain — all yours. No export fee, no migration lockdown, no hostage situation. ### What is building with AI? Building with AI means describing what you want in plain language to an AI like ChatGPT or Claude, and having it build the app for you. LIIVO takes it further by putting your creation live on the internet, no server setup needed. ### How do I connect LIIVO to ChatGPT or Claude? Open ChatGPT or Claude and ask it to connect to LIIVO. If you are using ChatGPT, install the LIIVO connection from https://www.liivo.ai/connect. If you are using Claude, add LIIVO as a connection from the same page. Your AI assistant handles the rest — no technical setup needed. ### How do I put my AI-built app online? Connect LIIVO to ChatGPT or Claude through the AI connection in your AI tool's settings. Then describe your app in plain language, and your AI assistant sends the build instructions to LIIVO. Your app goes live with its own web address in minutes — no servers, no terminal, no technical knowledge needed. ### Do I need to pay extra for the AI? No. LIIVO does not charge you for AI. You bring your existing ChatGPT or Claude subscription and we connect to it. You pay LIIVO for hosting your app only. ### Do I need a paid ChatGPT or Claude subscription? We recommend a paid subscription for the AI service you use. LIIVO cannot guarantee the AI connection works on free subscriptions, and free tier usage limits may not be enough to build good results. If you need more AI usage, upgrade your ChatGPT or Claude plan directly with them. ### Can I use this on my phone? You'll need the desktop app (Claude or ChatGPT) on your computer to connect LIIVO and build your app. Once your app is live, anyone can use it on any device, including phones and tablets. ### Is my data private? Yes. LIIVO only receives the building instructions your AI sends. We never read your conversations with Claude or ChatGPT. You own all your data and can delete it anytime from your account settings. Separately, if you use the prompt helper on the LIIVO website, the app description you type there is sent to an AI model to write your prompt for you. ### Can I cancel anytime? Yes, cancel with one click from your account settings. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period. ### Do I need to know how to code? No coding required. You describe what you want and your AI builds it. LIIVO handles the deployment, infrastructure, and hosting automatically. ### Which AI tools work with LIIVO? LIIVO works with Claude (desktop app, Pro or above), ChatGPT (Plus or above with Developer Mode), Codex (included with ChatGPT Plus), and any other MCP-compatible AI client including Cursor and Windsurf. ### How is LIIVO different from credit-based AI app builders? Most AI app builders charge per action or per AI call, which creates unpredictable bills. LIIVO charges a flat monthly fee for hosting only. You bring your own AI subscription (which you already pay for), so there's no double-billing. ### What open source services are available? LIIVO provides open source services spanning databases, storage, authentication, analytics, media tools, communication platforms, and developer tools. All powered by Eyevinn Open Source Cloud (OSC). Full catalogue at https://www.osaas.io. ### Can I use a custom domain for my app? Yes. You can point your own domain to a LIIVO-hosted app. Ask your AI to set it up, or configure it in your app's settings in the LIIVO dashboard. ### What is the relationship between LIIVO and OSC? LIIVO is built on top of Eyevinn Open Source Cloud (OSC). OSC is the underlying managed infrastructure platform used by developers. LIIVO is the consumer-facing layer that makes OSC accessible via natural language through AI assistants. If you're a developer who prefers working with APIs and CLI tools directly, OSC may be the better fit: https://www.osaas.io. ## Platform Pages - / — Homepage: hero, pricing, how it works, why LIIVO, FAQ - /connect — Step-by-step setup guide for Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex - /vibe-coding — What is vibe coding?

LIIVO implements an MCP server so AI clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, etc.) can deploy and manage apps directly from the chat interface. MCP endpoint: https://my.liivo.ai/mcp Authentication: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE Transport: Streamable HTTP (SSE) Once connected, your AI can: - Deploy a new app from a description - List your running apps and their URLs - Check the status of an app (running, building, paused) - Pause or resume an app - Query logs and health status - Set up databases, storage, and other infrastructure components The MCP connection uses OAuth so no API key is needed. Sign in with Google, Apple, or email when prompted during setup. ## Infrastructure Notes LIIVO runs on Eyevinn Open Source Cloud (OSC), hosted on Linode/Akamai infrastructure. Apps are containerised and run in Kubernetes clusters. Each app gets its own isolated environment. Data is stored in databases provisioned per-app, not shared. The platform is operated by Eyevinn Technology AB, a Swedish company. Data is processed and stored in EU-region infrastructure. ## Contact and Support - Support: use the chat widget on https://www.liivo.ai or email via the contact form - Company: Eyevinn Technology AB, Sweden - Developer platform (OSC): https://www.osaas.io - OSC AI assistant / MCP tools: https://mcp.osaas.io/mcp Updated: 2026-08-24
