Traditional deployment platforms give you a dashboard and documentation. You're expected to figure out the rest — configuration, debugging, optimization — on your own.
Temps takes a different approach. Dev AI is an integrated AI assistant that helps you deploy, debug, and manage applications through natural language conversation.
Dev AI is an AI-powered interface built directly into Temps. Instead of clicking through dashboards or reading documentation, you describe what you want in plain English:
Dev AI handles the execution, translating your intent into the right actions.
Deploying an application involves dozens of decisions:
Each decision requires:
Even experienced developers waste hours on platform configuration.
With Dev AI, you skip the learning curve:
You: "Deploy my React app with environment variables from .env.production"
Dev AI: "I'll deploy your app. I found 5 environment variables in .env.production.
Setting those up and starting the build now. Here's your deployment URL..."
No documentation hunting. No configuration menus. Just describe your goal.
"Deploy this repository"
"Create a preview for the feature-auth branch"
"Roll back to yesterday's version"
"Deploy to staging first, then production"
Dev AI handles Git integration, build configuration, and deployment orchestration.
"Add DATABASE_URL from my .env file"
"Show me all environment variables"
"Copy staging variables to production"
"Rotate my API keys"
Manage secrets and configuration without navigating settings pages.
"Why is my app returning 500 errors?"
"Show me errors from the last 24 hours"
"What's causing the slow response times?"
"Find the log entry for request ID abc123"
Dev AI queries your logs, correlates errors, and explains issues in context.
"My app is getting slow, what should I do?"
"Scale to 3 instances"
"Set up auto-scaling for traffic spikes"
"What are my current resource limits?"
Get performance recommendations and implement them instantly.
"Add api.mycompany.com as a custom domain"
"What DNS records do I need?"
"Renew my SSL certificate"
"Route api.* to my backend service"
Domain configuration explained and executed through conversation.
You: "I have a Next.js app in this repo. Can you deploy it?"
Dev AI: "I see a Next.js 14 project. I'll:
1. Set build command to 'npm run build'
2. Configure Next.js output settings
3. Deploy to production
I notice you have a .env.example file. Do you want me to prompt
you for those values before deploying?"
You: "Yes, and use the database URL from my Supabase project"
Dev AI: "Got it. Setting DATABASE_URL. What about NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL?
I see it's referenced in your code."
You: "Set it to https://api.myapp.com"
Dev AI: "Done. Building now. Your app will be live at myapp.temps.sh
in about 30 seconds. I'll also set up preview deployments for
pull requests. Want me to add your custom domain?"
You: "Users are reporting the checkout page is broken"
Dev AI: "I see 47 errors in the last hour on /checkout.
The main issue is a TypeError in CheckoutForm.tsx line 123:
'Cannot read property 'price' of undefined'
This started after deployment #45 at 2:30 PM.
The change was in src/components/Cart.tsx.
Would you like me to:
1. Roll back to deployment #44
2. Show you the specific code change
3. Show affected user sessions"
You: "Roll back and show me the change"
Dev AI: "Rolled back. Here's the diff that caused the issue:
- const price = item.product.price
+ const price = item.price // item.price is undefined
The previous deployment is now live. Error rate is dropping."
You: "We're launching on Product Hunt tomorrow. How should I prepare?"
Dev AI: "Here's what I recommend for a traffic spike:
1. Scale from 1 to 3 instances (you have capacity)
2. Enable CDN caching for static assets
3. Set up alerting for response time > 2s
4. Pre-warm your database connection pool
I can configure all of this now. Also, your current
region is US-East. Want me to add EU and Asia for
better global response times?"
You: "Yes, do all of that"
Dev AI: "Done. Your app is now running on 3 instances across
3 regions with CDN caching enabled. I've set up alerts
to notify you if response time exceeds 2 seconds.
Current capacity: ~10,000 concurrent users.
Estimated cost increase: $15/month.
Good luck with the launch! I'll monitor traffic and
let you know if you need to scale further."
You might wonder: why not just ask ChatGPT for deployment help?
| Aspect | ChatGPT | Dev AI |
|---|---|---|
| Executes actions | No (suggestions only) | Yes (deploys, scales, configures) |
| Sees your code | No | Yes (with permission) |
| Sees your logs | No | Yes (real-time access) |
| Knows your config | No | Yes (environment, domains, etc.) |
| Context persistence | Limited | Full history |
ChatGPT gives advice. Dev AI takes action.
You control what Dev AI can do:
"Don't deploy without my confirmation"
"Only read logs, don't make changes"
"Allow deploys but not scaling changes"
Click the AI assistant icon in any Temps dashboard view. Dev AI has context about what you're looking at.
Dev AI integrates with the Temps desktop app and dashboard — use it through the AI assistant panel while managing your projects from the command line:
# Standard CLI commands work alongside Dev AI suggestions
bunx @temps-sdk/cli deploy my-app -b main -e staging -y
bunx @temps-sdk/cli runtime-logs -p my-app -f
bunx @temps-sdk/cli domains add -d api.mycompany.com
The Temps VS Code extension includes Dev AI:
// In VS Code command palette
Temps: Ask Dev AI
> "Set up environment variables for this project"
Dev AI knows:
It doesn't start from scratch with each question.
Dev AI learns your preferences:
Dev AI doesn't wait for you to ask:
Dev AI: "I noticed your build time increased 40% after adding
the new dependency. Want me to optimize the build?"
Dev AI: "You're approaching your free tier limit. Would you
like me to set up alerts?"
Dev AI: "This error pattern usually means a missing
environment variable. Did you add STRIPE_KEY?"
Dev AI is included with all Temps plans at no extra cost.
No per-query charges. No usage limits.
Experience AI-powered deployment:
# Install Temps
curl -fsSL https://temps.sh/deploy.sh | bash
# Login
bunx @temps-sdk/cli login
# Deploy your app — Dev AI assists from the dashboard
bunx @temps-sdk/cli deploy my-app -b main -e production -y
Or visit temps.sh to get started.
We believe deployment platforms should be as easy to use as asking a question.
No more:
Just describe what you want, and Dev AI makes it happen.
Dev AI is continuously learning and improving. New capabilities are added regularly based on user feedback.
