How to Export an AI Builder Project and Prepare Its Code for Use

Export an AI Builder project as a React and Vite ZIP, then plan for its one-way editing workflow, separate backend data, and deployment requirements.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

To export an AI Builder project, open it from Websites List, select Code in the editor, then choose Export code in the files sidebar and click Export. The download is a ZIP containing a Node.js project built with React and Vite. It does not include integrated backend data, and edits made after downloading cannot be imported back to continue AI prompting.

Export the project ZIP

  1. Sign in and open Websites List.
  2. Open the project you want to export.
  3. In the editor’s top navigation, select Code.
  4. Find Export code below the files sidebar.
  5. Click Export and wait for the download to be generated.
  6. Download the ZIP and extract it on the computer where you plan to work.

The export guide describes the generated project as a Node.js app built with React and Vite. Local manual editing requires coding knowledge and Node.js installed.

Know what the export does—and does not—preserve

Source code is not the same as backend data

The ZIP contains frontend and logic files, while integrated backend data is managed separately. The platform’s backend documentation says there is currently no direct tool to export that data. If you need records, form submissions, or user uploads, check the available backend options and plan for those separately before leaving the service; exporting source code alone does not migrate them.

Export is a one-way handoff for AI prompting

An edited export cannot be imported back into the builder to continue prompting. Treat the ZIP as a handoff for manual development or deployment elsewhere, rather than a round trip. Keep an untouched copy of the downloaded ZIP before changing files.

Be careful with in-platform code edits

The editor exposes most of the project codebase, but not internal files. Changes to system files can cause website errors, and saved changes cannot automatically be reverted. Preserve a separate copy before editing.

Choose a deployment route

The project is not a ready-to-upload static site. Uploading its raw code directly to shared or cloud hosting will not work; choose a route that can run Node.js or build the project into static assets.

Route What it involves Best fit
Node.js Web Apps The export guide lists this option on eligible Business or Cloud hosting plans. A managed deployment route, if your plan is eligible.
VPS Upload the project to a VPS with Node.js available and configured. More flexibility, with more server setup and maintenance responsibility.
Static files on shared or cloud hosting Run npm run build with Vite, then upload the generated static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files as a PHP/HTML website. When the project can operate as static assets and you can build it locally.

Prepare before you leave the builder

  • Download and preserve the original ZIP before making changes.
  • Install Node.js on the computer you will use for local development.
  • Decide whether deployment will run the Node.js project or use a Vite static build.
  • Make a separate plan for backend records, submissions, and uploads; they are not included in the code ZIP.
