# Public apps overview

**Public applications** can give our clients additional customization tools or add new integrations to their stores. Any custom app can become public. Any developer can come to us and create a public app. We always welcome new additions to our [App Market](https://www.ecwid.com/apps)!

**App Market** is a place where clients can search and install public apps in their stores. It has a search tool, collections, and categories to make it easier to find specific apps.

We have an automated flow where you start with only an idea of an app and end up with it being published in the App Market.&#x20;

Start with the dev version of your app in the free dev environment and test it with us before publishing the app.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ecwid.com/launch-apps/public-apps-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
