# Live Apps

> Publish live, data-driven web apps on top of your room's tables — a board, a tracker, a worklist, a dashboard — with the data and the hosting included.

**Live Apps** let every room publish a real web app on top of its tables — a board, a tracker, a worklist, a directory, a dashboard. Start from a template or describe your own in plain English; either way the app binds directly to your room's data, and Corvic hosts it at a URL you can share.

<Note>
  Live Apps live inside a [Room](/features/rooms) — open the **Live Apps** surface from the room's surface switcher, next to Chat, Playbooks, Memory, and Lens.

## How an app gets made

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a template or describe it">
    Browse **Start from Template** on the Live Apps surface and click **Adopt this template**, or click **Build an app** and tell Corvic what to build — anything that runs in a browser: a live dashboard, a website, an internal tool, even a game or a page that fetches a live API.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The agent builds and binds it">
    Each app gets its own builder agent and thread. The agent writes the pages and points them at the tables in your room, reusing an existing [Workflow](/features/workflows) or provisioning one as it goes. Watch it come together in the app canvas, which has three tabs:

    * **Preview** — the running app. Use **Select element** to point at anything on the page and ask for a change.
    * **Code** — the app's pages and spec.
    * **Data** — the app's **Connected data**: the pipelines, sources, and tables it binds to, with run and schedule controls.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share the link">
    Send it to the team — members open it with their Corvic login, or publish a read-only public link. Put the app's workflow on a schedule and it stays current.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  A template adopted before its data is bound shows a **Preview** badge and runs on sample data. Bind it to your tables from the **Data** tab to make it live.
</Note>

## Templates

The template gallery covers the common shapes of internal tooling — procurement, supply chain, OKRs, content calendars, team directories, personal finance, and dozens more — each running live on sample data so you can click through it before adopting. A blank canvas is there for anything that isn't on the list. Adopted apps appear under **My Apps**.

## What "live" means

Pages read the room's tables at view time — opening the app always shows what the tables hold right now, with no baked-in copy of the data. Getting *new* data from your sources is the job of the app's workflow: run it on demand from the Data tab, or put it on a schedule so the tables (and therefore the app) stay current on their own.
