How CodeDevAI works and what to do when it misbehaves.
Getting started
- 1Describe what you want to build
Type a prompt on the home page, or pick one of the suggestions. Be specific about the screens and the behaviour you expect, since that is all the model gets.
- 2Wait for the project
The chat panel answers with a short plan while the editor fills up with the generated files. A full project usually takes 25 to 45 seconds.
- 3Edit and preview
Switch between Code and Preview at the top of the editor. Files are editable, and the preview reruns as you type. Use the maximize icon for a full screen preview.
- 4Keep refining
Send another message in the chat to change the project. Each new prompt regenerates the files, so ask for changes in one message rather than several small ones.
Common problems
The project was too large for a single reply. Ask for fewer screens or a simpler layout, then build the rest up with follow up prompts.
Open the Console tab inside the preview. The generated code can only use the dependencies this app pre-installs, so an import of an unlisted package will fail to resolve.
That is expected. Deploy publishes the generated project to a CodeSandbox preview and Export opens the same project in the CodeSandbox editor. Neither one deploys to a domain of your own.
Projects are tied to the Google account you signed in with. Check the sidebar under Your Chats, and make sure you are signed in with the same account.
