How Chovy works

From a sentence to something people can actually use.

Five stages. You're involved in all of them, but only where your judgement is the thing that's needed.

01

Start

What you do

You describe it

What Chovy does

Chovy saves it as the app's first note

What you see

Your idea, written down in one place

02

Shape

What you do

You read the plan and fix what's wrong

What Chovy does

Chovy turns your note into screens, a first release, and open questions

What you see

A plan in plain English, with the undecided parts marked clearly

03

Build

What you do

You wait, or add a note

What Chovy does

Your team builds in a private space that's just for this app

What you see

A timeline: who's working on what, and what's finished

04

Review

What you do

You open the preview and decide

What Chovy does

Chovy collects the working preview and the list of what changed

What you see

A link you can open on your phone, and two buttons

05

Launch

What you do

You run four checks and type LAUNCH

What Chovy does

Chovy prepares the domain and deployment — it doesn't run them

What you see

A checklist, and a clear statement of what is and isn't live

The five moments we'll need you.

Stated up front so none of them are a surprise.

  • Approving the plan before anyone builds.
  • Answering the open questions the plan couldn't decide for you.
  • Reviewing each finished piece of work.
  • Approving anything that costs money.
  • Typing LAUNCH.

How long this takes

Setup is about three minutes. A first plan comes back in minutes. A first working piece usually lands the same day. Getting to something you'd show a customer takes as long as it takes — and you'll see exactly where it is the whole time.

Start at stage one.

Describe the thing. That's the whole first step.
