Ask a question
What can I build with RiverX?

RiverX helps build websites and web applications with templates, coding agents, live preview, database provisioning and publishing. Start with a focused user journey and verify any special runtime or integration requirement before committing to it.

Can I choose the model and coding agent in RiverX?

Yes. RiverX exposes selectable catalog models and supports Codex and OpenCode runtimes, subject to configuration. Check the exact model's capabilities and test it with the runtime you intend to use; a catalog listing does not guarantee every combination works.

How does RiverX pricing work?

RiverX uses a pay-as-you-go wallet without a recurring builder subscription. The first top-up replaces the free daily allowance with metered wallet billing. Spendable credit, the top-up fee and applicable tax are separate; use actual usage and the checkout quote to budget.

Can I keep my RiverX project source in GitHub?

Yes. RiverX includes an authenticated workspace-to-GitHub push workflow. Confirm the repository, branch and commit, and test a clean local build for handoff. Automatic two-way sync is not established here, and database contents and secrets require separate handling.

What should I review before launching a client app with RiverX?

Test sign-in, client data isolation, uploads and notifications where required. Review generated permissions and dependencies, confirm service ownership and verify the complete workflow after publishing.
