Building by chat
The AI can do everything HQ can do. It never changes your space on its own. It proposes a change, you approve it, and every approved change is saved as a version you can undo.
How to ask #
- Say what it's for, not how to build it. "A page where my class signs up for a time slot" works better than a list of buttons.
- Ask for one thing at a time. Approve it, then ask for the next.
- Describe the look in words. For example, "warm, paper, serif" or "dark and neon". The AI turns that into a style.
- If a proposal is wrong, say what's wrong. The AI changes it, and Undo is always there.
- Paste a link if you've added the Web research feature. The AI can read pages and search the web.
Things to try #
| Ask | You get |
|---|---|
| "Add a booking page: weekdays 9 to 5, 30-minute slots" | A page where people book a time with you |
| "Make a trivia night about 90s movies with teams" | A live game people join with a code on their phones |
| "Add a channel for announcements only staff can post in" | A broadcast channel |
| "Make a VIP page only Gold members can see" | A members-only page |
| "Give everyone 10 coins when they join and a shop to spend them" | Coins and a shop |
| "Make a habit tracker with streaks" | A list with streaks and a calendar |
| "Put the scoreboard on the TV" | A TV link that shows the page full screen |
| "Make a games page like a real game app" | A game lobby with posters |
| "Add a countdown to our trip on June 1st" | A ready-made mini-app, set up for you |
| "Make it look like a dark arcade" | A new style |
While it works #
The reply appears as the AI writes it, with a line underneath saying what it's doing. Stop takes the place of Send. A message you send meanwhile waits its turn, and a long build keeps going if you leave, with a notification when it's done. In HQ you can pick Fast for quick edits, Careful for building, or leave it on Auto. Add the AI helper feature and the AI keeps short notes on how you like things built, which you can read and delete.
Bots and automations #
Add the Bots feature for a Bots page. Ask the AI for "a helper bot people can @mention" or "every Monday at 9, post the week's open tasks in General". Until you let a bot act on its own, everything it would change waits on the Bots page for you to approve, and you can change its words first. A bot's role decides what it may do, like a person's, and bots never approve anything. On a help desk, a bot can draft answers that your teammate sends. Outside services can start an automation through a webhook address.
Approve, discard, undo #
- Approve applies the change. Discard throws it away.
- HQ → History lists every version. Tap Undo to here to go back, and undo the undo if you change your mind.
- You can also edit any page directly: tap Edit on the page (Editing pages).
Limits #
- The AI runs on your own Claude key. Paste it in Connect your AI at the top of HQ (or on the Connections page). Until it's connected, the AI chat asks the owner to connect one.
- A space can set its own limits per person or per role, and a message above the box says when you'll get more.
- In a kids space, the AI keeps every word, page and game kid-safe.
