Building and iterating

How do I start an app?

On your Dashboard, click New App, name it, and click Create & Open Studio. In Studio, describe what you want under What do you want to build? Your first build costs 5 Build tokens.

Why did my first build give me only one page?

First builds are deliberately a single focused page so you get something working fast. Grow it by chatting, for example "add an About section" or "add a sign-up form".

Hamish asked me a question instead of building. Did that cost me?

No. If your request is unclear, Hamish asks before building so it does not waste a build on a guess. Answering costs nothing extra beyond a normal chat.

Can I undo a change I did not like?

Yes. Use Undo Changes on the latest reply that changed your app. Hamish then ignores the undone attempts so they will not affect future changes.

My build broke. What happens?

Hamish tries to fix it automatically first. If it still is not right, tell it what looks wrong and it will have another go, or raise a ticket.

I asked for a change and got something else. Can I get my token back?

Use the thumbs-down on that reply ("Response not right? Tap to refund tokens"). Where appropriate it refunds the tokens, and your next try uses a more powerful model. Then rephrase what you wanted.

What is the single biggest thing I can do to get better results?

Describe the outcome, make one change per message, and say who the app is for. Vague requests like "make it better" give vague results.
