This page answers the most common questions about using AI Apps Builder, deploying your apps, and managing permissions.
Is AI Apps Builder free to use?
AI Apps Builder is a free Jira app available on the Atlassian Marketplace. After installation, each user receives 100 credits to explore the product and create custom apps. Credits are used when sending messages in the AI chat. For details on the credit system, see Understanding Free Tier Usage Limits in AI Apps Builder.
Why do I need to use an API token?
You need to use your API token to deploy the app created with AI Apps Builder. Your API token is stored securely in your browser’s session storage and is used only for deployment operations. We do not keep or reuse your API token for any other purpose.
Will my app stop working when the API token expires?
No. The API token is required only during deployment. Once your app is successfully deployed, it will continue working even if your API token expires or is removed. The API token's lifetime does not affect your app's lifetime.
What permissions do I need to deploy my app?
To deploy the Forge app generated with AI Apps Builder, you must have administrator permissions on the Jira site where the app will run.
What if I am not a Jira administrator? Can I create and deploy my app?
Yes, you still have options. If you are not an administrator on the Jira site where you want to deploy the app, you can:
Use your personal Jira site or Jira Sandbox to generate and test the app.
Once the app is ready, you can move it to the correct production site using a shared link.
After that, a Jira administrator can complete the installation on the target site.
For detailed steps, see our documentation: How to Move Forge Apps Built with AI Apps Builder to Another Jira Site.
Can I share access to my generated app with other users?
Yes. You can give access to additional users by adding them as Contributors in the Atlassian Developer Console. This allows others to help manage or work with your app. To learn how to do this, see our documentation: Managing Forge Apps - Atlassian Developer Console.
Can I continue working on my app after I deploy it?
Yes, you can continue improving your app after deployment. You can refine the UI, update the logic, or add new features to your existing app. Please note that any changes you make will only appear in Jira after you redeploy the app.
Can I build more than one module or page inside a single app?
Yes, you can. AI Apps Builder allows you to create multiple modules or pages within a single app. This can include dashboards, configuration pages, reporting views, or any other UI your workflow requires. If you want to see what a multi-module app can look like, explore our detailed use case of an Automated Jira Issue Assignment System.
Can I view or download the generated code?
Yes. If you choose the manual deployment option, you can download a ZIP file with the full source code of your generated app. This is useful when you want to review the code, learn from the structure, or share it with a developer.
Do I need to pay for my own Forge app?
Yes. If you create and use your own Forge app, you are responsible for any costs related to Atlassian Forge usage. Here’s an overview of Forge pricing starting January 2026.
