Building apps
How to describe what you want, iterate with the AI, and add new features.
Build with Overskill, not against it
The single biggest way to get more out of your credits: lean on what Overskill already gives you instead of asking it to rebuild things from scratch. Here's how to spot the difference.
How to ask the AI for changes
Better prompts get better results. The short guide to writing requests the AI nails on the first try.
What the AI can — and can't — do
Realistic expectations for what you can build with Overskill, what the AI handles, and where you might hit limits.
Can I migrate an app from Lovable, Bolt, or v0?
Yes — import your export .zip and Overskill rebuilds it as a native app with built-in login and a database. Here's how to get your export and import it.
Where did plan mode go?
The Plan / Build toggle is gone. To talk something through without changing your app, just say so — "don't change anything yet" works.
Let Overskill handle the plumbing — describe what you want, not how to build it
The fastest way to build well on Overskill is to describe the feature you want and let the platform handle the database, sign-in, storage, jobs, and email — instead of planning your own infrastructure.
Version history and rollbacks
Every change is a saved version. Roll back, restore, or compare any version with a click.
Reusing work from another Overskill app
Attach one of your other Overskill apps to a chat so the AI can look at how you solved something there and build the same thing in the app you're working on.
Changing colors, fonts, and theme
Restyle your app — colors, fonts, spacing — by describing what you want in chat.
Adding a new page to your app
Most asks come down to "add a page that shows X and lets users do Y." Here's how.
Generating images for your app
Logos, illustrations, product photos, hero images — the AI can generate them for you.
Using suggestion chips
The chips below the chat input are smart shortcuts to common next steps. Use them.
Your app's icon
Every app you build gets a matching icon automatically — and you can swap it any time.
Adding voice narration to your app
Your app can read text out loud. Choose from a free device voice, a great-sounding default voice, or a premium HD voice — here's what each one costs.
Choosing the builder's AI model (and why new Studio apps start on Overskill Max)
Each app has its own builder model. New apps start on your plan's default, which is Overskill Max on Studio and Max plans. Here's how to switch to a cheaper model.
Can I write prompts in a language other than English?
Yes — write prompts in any language and the builder follows them. German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and more all work. Here's what to know about prompts versus your app's text.
Thinking levels: Low, Smart and Max
The thinking level sets how deeply the builder reasons before it answers. Deeper thinking usually uses more credits. Here's what each level means, how to change it, and why some models don't show it.
Agent Skills: reusable instructions for the builder
A skill is a set of instructions you write once and the builder follows whenever it fits, in every app in your workspace. Here's how to create one, use it, and add skills from a link.
