| # What is Grok Build Mode? | ||
|
|
||
| **Grok Build Mode is a new mode inside Grok that turns a plain-language description into a working website, app, game, or interactive dashboard, previews it inside the conversation, and publishes it to a shareable link.** XAI announced it in a [July 2026 launch post](https://x.ai/news/grok-build-mode) as an Early Beta feature. |

We should maybe use the SpaceXAI logo here instead?

| # Adding a real backend to a Grok Build Mode app | ||
|
|
||
| When a Build Mode prototype earns its keep and needs to become a real product, the missing piece is almost always the backend. That is where [Appwrite](/docs/products/auth) fits, without asking you to rebuild the frontend Grok already produced. | ||
|
|
||
| * [Appwrite Auth](/docs/products/auth) handles sign-in, sessions, OAuth providers, and multi-factor auth so your app supports real users, not a single anonymous session. | ||
| * [Appwrite Databases](/docs/products/databases) gives you a persistent, queryable data layer with permissions, so state survives a page refresh and stays scoped per user. | ||
| * [Appwrite Storage](/docs/products/storage) covers file uploads, image transformations, and secure downloads. | ||
| * [Appwrite Functions](/docs/products/functions) runs server-side logic in the language of your choice for anything the client should not handle. | ||
|
|
||
| For hosting, [Appwrite Sites](/docs/products/sites) deploys the frontend directly from a Git repository, so you own the domain, the deployment pipeline, and the code rather than depending on a generated link. If you want a full walkthrough of taking a generated app to production, see [how to deploy vibe coding projects to production](/blog/post/deploy-vibe-coding-projects-to-production). | ||
|
|
||
| None of this dismisses Build Mode. Using Grok to sketch the interface and Appwrite to run the backend is a reasonable split: let the AI handle the first draft, then move the parts that need to be reliable onto infrastructure you control. |

We just released a new docs page for how to integrate with Grok Build, we should link that here somewhere
