Deploy
Deployments Overview
Learn about the different ways to deploy and share your Pickaxes with the world.
After you build your Pickaxe, you need to set up a deployment to make it accessible. Deployments are how you share your Pickaxe with the world — whether that's on your own website, through a messaging platform, or inside a branded portal.
All monetization and access control features work across every deployment type, so your billing and permissions stay consistent whether someone is using your Pickaxe through an embed, a WhatsApp bot, or any other channel.
Deployment types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Portals | Branded, multi-agent hubs where users can access one or more of your Pickaxes in one place. |
| Pages | Standalone web pages for sharing individual Pickaxes or collections. |
| Direct link | A simple shareable URL that takes users straight to your Pickaxe. |
| Embeds | Drop your Pickaxe into any website as a chat widget or inline embed. |
| Email bot | Users interact with your Pickaxe by sending and receiving emails. |
| WhatsApp bot | Connect your Pickaxe to WhatsApp so users can chat with it from their phone. |
| Slack bot | Add your Pickaxe to a Slack workspace so teams can use it directly in their channels. |
| API | Access your Pickaxe programmatically for custom integrations and workflows. |
Each deployment type has its own setup and configuration options, covered in detail on their individual pages.
