# What your agent builds, live without leaving the chat

while is a French PaaS built for AI agents. Your agent deploys your apps there, with everything they use, and you choose who can open them: everyone, or just your colleagues.

To paste into your agent Read while.sh/agents, then deploy my app with while.

## Your agent does the work, you stay in charge

### Your app opens to whoever you choose, and no one else

Open to everyone, protected by a password, or limited to your company account.

### Your API keys stay secret, even from your agent

Your app and your agent use your other tools without ever seeing the key.

### Your app runs, and you have no server to manage

Backed-up databases, storage, scheduled jobs, a domain over HTTPS: your agent sets them up.

### Your app is protected, even if you are not a security expert

Each app runs isolated from the others, and your agent fixes the known vulnerabilities in its dependencies, checked at every deployment, then every day.

### Your agent works on its own, and nothing important happens without you

Sensitive actions wait for your approval, and while’s activity log records every action your agent takes.

### Your agent makes sure your app works, and tells you

After a deployment, or when you ask, it reads the errors and logs in while, then fixes the app and deploys it again.

### A mistake can be undone, in the code and in the data

Your agent rolls back to the previous version, and your data goes back to any moment in the last 14 days.

### Your data stays in France, with a French company

Your apps and their backups are hosted in France, by Nextmap.

- [My agent codes fast, but I don’t dare hand it production. It deploys and fixes things on its own, without holding your keys, and the important decisions go through you. Developers](https://while.sh/en/developers/)
- [Business teams send me their vibe-coded apps, and I don’t want to say no to everything. You give them a safe place, in France, behind the company sign-in and with an activity log. IT teams](https://while.sh/en/it-teams/)

## Questions

### Getting started

#### Do I need to know how to code?

No, your agent writes the code and deploys it.

#### Which agents does it work with?

Every agent that connects over MCP: Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini or Mistral Vibe, in their app or in a terminal.

#### What kind of apps can I deploy?

A website, an API, a dashboard, a bot that runs all the time or a script on a schedule, in Node, Python, Go, or with a Dockerfile. Each case has its guide: [the guides](https://while.sh/en/guides/).

#### Can I bring an app built elsewhere, on Lovable, Bolt or in a Claude artifact?

Yes, your agent takes over the code, copies the database, and rebuilds with while whatever depended on the old service, like sign-in.

#### Can I start from my GitHub repository?

Yes, with GitHub or GitLab: every push to the main branch deploys, and every pull request opens a preview.

#### How much does it cost?

The Free plan is 0 €, the Pro plan 299 € per month. Each resource also has its price, the same on every plan: you pay for what your apps use. A small API running around the clock, with its database and backups, costs 13,75 € per month. [See pricing](https://while.sh/en/pricing/).

### Access and security

#### Who can open my app?

Everyone, the people you give an access link to (with a password if you like), or your company’s accounts: Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, Okta or any OpenID Connect provider.

#### Can my agent touch production safely?

Yes, the important decisions wait for a person, and everything goes to the activity log. You can also disconnect your agent at any time.

#### How does my agent use my tools without seeing the keys?

You enter the key in while, and both your agent and your app go through while to call the tool, without ever seeing it.

### Your data

#### Where is my data hosted?

On while, your apps and your data are hosted in France, by Nextmap, a French company.

#### Is my data backed up?

Yes, every day, encrypted and stored away from where the app runs, and you can go back to any moment in the last 14 days.

### Switching hosts

#### I’m on Heroku, Render or AWS: how do I move?

Your agent takes over the code, copies the database from a backup and carries over your environment variables.

#### Can I leave with my code and my data?

Yes, your code stays in your repository, and your agent exports the database and the files whenever you want.
