​
Create Your First Project

To start a new project, just describe what you want to build in the chat input on your dashboard. Aurora will generate your initial application and drop you into the project editor. You can also start from existing work:
  • Import a GitHub repository. Click Import on the dashboard to bring in an existing Vite + React repository, including projects built on Lovable. The import changes almost nothing in your repository, and chat edits commit back to it. Connect GitHub in Settings first.
  • Remix a community project. Browse community projects and remix one as a starting point.

​
Building Your App

The project editor is where you build and refine your application. It has two main panels: the chat on the left and the preview on the right.
Describe features, request changes, or ask questions in plain language. Aurora understands context from your conversation and builds accordingly. You can attach images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WebP) to show what you want, or attach a reference URL and Aurora will fetch and read the page.
The preview panel shows your running app and updates in real time as Aurora makes changes. You can switch between desktop, tablet, and mobile viewports to test responsiveness.
Ask Aurora to modify anything — add pages, change layouts, update styles, or fix bugs. Aurora updates your app while preserving what you’ve already built.
Switch to code view to browse your project’s files and see the generated source code directly.
Aurora creates a commit each time it makes changes. You can view your commit history and restore any previous version from within the editor. The newest commit is what your preview is already running, so it does not show a Restore button.
Connect services like Supabase for databases, or ask Aurora to integrate third-party APIs — just describe what you need.

​
Sharing and Deploying

Click the share button to generate a link. Anyone with the link can view your project.
Publish your project to the Aurora community for others to discover and remix.
Connect your GitHub account to push your project code to a repository. Aurora commits appear as aurora-build[bot] so you can tell which changes were AI-authored.

​
Project Settings

Open the secrets menu in your project settings to add API keys and other sensitive values. After adding a secret, click apply to reload your project with the new variable. In browser code, only variables with the VITE_ prefix are available, through import.meta.env.VITE_YOUR_KEY. Keep private keys unprefixed and read them in server code with process.env.YOUR_KEY. See Secrets for details.
Connect your own domain name to your Aurora project (Pro plan).
Add project-specific instructions to guide how Aurora builds your app — like preferred styling, libraries, or coding patterns.
Permanently delete projects you no longer need from the project settings menu.
