AI Studio Cloud: A Built-In Backend for Your Apps

☁️ Your AI Studio apps can now have a real backend

You’ve built a great app in AI Studio, and now it needs to remember things. It needs to know who’s signed in and store the photos people upload. Until now, that meant wiring up a backend yourself.

Not anymore.

Open

More → Cloud

and turn it on from

Overview

. In about a minute, Clixio creates a private backend just for that project, with a

database

user accounts

, and

file storage

. There’s nothing extra to connect.

You can keep building while it sets up.
If setup stops, your app is untouched, and
Try again

picks up where it left off.
AI Studio checks with you before it builds anything against Cloud.

Once Cloud is running, here’s what you get:

🗃️ Database: your app’s memory

See every table, roughly how many rows it holds, and whether row-level security is on.
Open a table to add rows, double-click a cell to edit it, or select rows to delete them.
Need a new table or policy? Just ask AI Studio in chat and it handles the schema.
Slow or costly database?
Optimise

sends a health check to chat. It uses credits, like any message.
Daily Backups

snapshot your schema and rows (not storage files or app code).
Restore

replaces the live database with a snapshot. The app pauses its database access for a few minutes while that happens. If the schema no longer matches your code, ask chat to patch it.

👥 Users: the people using your app

Watch signups on a chart and search people by email.
Create new user

adds someone already confirmed, with no email sent.

Send invitation

emails them a link to set a password.
Open a person to see how they sign in, or
Delete user

. Deleting can’t be undone.
Signup, invite, and reset emails go out through your account’s email, and the links open your app.

Auth settings

lets you shape sign-in:

Email confirmation is required by default.
Auto-confirm email

is for testing only.
Close registration any time with
Allow new sign-ups

. Existing users stay signed in.
Reject passwords found in public breaches, and set your own password rules.
Set your
Site URL

and

Redirect URLs

. A mismatch here is the usual reason a login fails. Preview URLs are handled for you, and you can add your own, including mobile links like

myapp://callback

.

⚠️

Heads up for v1:

sign-in supports email and password only. We’ll expand to more sign-in methods in future releases.

📁 Storage: where files live

Buckets

hold uploads. Public buckets open for anyone with the link. Private ones are for signed-in users.
Names use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (3 to 63 characters) and can’t be changed later.
Upload, organise into folders, download, delete, rename, and
Copy URL

. Renaming a file changes its URL.
Set an
Upload size limit

and review who can read and write through RLS policies.

📈 Advanced settings: grow at your pace

Database size

starts at

Tiny (free)

. Move up to Mini, Small, Medium, Large, or X-Large, or back down, once an hour. Each size shows its hourly price. A change takes a few minutes and briefly restarts the app.
Database storage

can grow, never shrink, up to 4 times a day. You pay hourly for the space you set aside, even when paused.
File storage

grows and shrinks with your files, and you pay for what’s actually stored.
Pause

stops access to your data while keeping it safe.

Resume

wakes it.
If your wallet can’t cover Cloud, it pauses itself. Nothing is deleted, and
Wake up

returns once billing is fixed. You can still move down to Tiny.
Remove Cloud

permanently deletes that project’s database, users, and files. Export tables as CSV and download files first. Other projects aren’t affected.
