# Aura AI App Builder

> Describe an app. Aura builds and publishes it.

</Frame>

The Aura AI App Builder turns a description into a working app — with a database, sign-in, payments and email — and publishes it to the web.

Online stores, booking apps, dashboards, community and church apps, internal tools — and 3D games you can play or sell in weeks, not months.
