Preview and test
Use the live preview and check your AI-built app works before you share it
Every project has a live preview served from PlutoAI. It updates as the app changes, so you can click through your app while you build. Nothing to set up and nothing to install.
The live preview
As the agent makes changes, the preview refreshes to show the current state of your app. Open the preview, use your app the way a visitor would, and confirm each change did what you asked before moving on. Reviewing round by round is the single best way to keep the app on track, because you catch a wrong turn while it is still one small change to undo.
Checking your app works
The agent can run your app's tests and check that the app builds before it calls work done. See How Pluto works. That covers whether the app runs. It does not judge whether the app does what you meant, so a quick pass of your own is still worth it.
Before you share a live link, click through the parts that matter:
- Click through the main flows in the preview and confirm they work end to end.
- Confirm any connected services point at the right accounts, not a test account.
- Check your access rules if your app handles sign-in or private data.
If your app handles sign-in or private data, verify that people can only see what they should before you share a public link. Ask the agent to walk you through which pages and which data are restricted.
Common problems
- Preview looks blank or stale: ask the agent to restart the app.
- A change broke something that worked before: tell the agent exactly what broke and ask it to fix or undo the last change.
- The preview works but the deployed site does not: check that connected services point at production accounts. See Deploy your app.
