First-run guide

Watch an AI company plan and ship project files. You bring the keys, approve the plan, then preview and download. Free beta includes 5 new runs per month.

Beta deliverable is a static preview + ZIP — not a hosted production deploy. Production apps are the roadmap, not this release.

  1. 1. Add an API key in Settings

    Bring your own OpenRouter, Anthropic, Gemini, or Ollama key (local or cloud). Paste the full secret — incomplete keys are rejected.

  2. 2. Test the key before you Start

    The checklist above Start requires a green probe so the run does not die on Unauthorized mid-demo.

  3. 3. Describe what to build

    Type a clear goal. The office staffs a planning council; you review the plan before anyone writes files.

  4. 4. Approve the plan, then open your app

    When the team finishes, open a static preview in a new tab or download ZIP/HTML. That is Launch A for this beta.
