Build by chatting

The Autobot is the build chat: it plans, builds apps and tools while you watch them run, and hands you the CLI and MCP for your own coding agent.

The Autobot is Autessa’s build chat. It builds apps, tables, agents and tools from a conversation, proposes a plan first when you want one, and shows the app running as it is written, at phone, tablet and desktop sizes.

Plan mode

Turn on plan mode and the Autobot describes its plan and stops. Approve to build, Revise with your changes, or Dismiss. Nothing is created first.

  • Turn on plan mode. Then describe what to build.
  • It proposes and stops. “Do not create anything yet” is part of the request.
  • You decide. Approve to build, Revise with changes, or Dismiss.
  • Revisions stay plans. A revision is a new proposal; nothing runs until you approve.

Live app sandbox

The app the Autobot is building runs live beside the chat and updates as its files are written. Preview it at desktop, tablet or phone width.

  • The Autobot builds an app. It writes the app’s files through the builder.
  • The Sandbox runs it live. The real draft, updating as files are written.
  • Check every device. Desktop, tablet and phone, scaled to fit.
  • Keep refining. Ask for changes and watch them land.

Built, Code and Activity

Beside the build chat: Built lists what this chat made, Code shows the script it is writing, Activity streams every run, and Uploads keeps your files.

  • Chat in the middle. The conversation is the product surface; history on the left.
  • Built. Everything this chat created, grouped by type.
  • Code and Activity. The script it is writing, and the run console with streamed output.
  • Uploads. Every file you gave the chat, with previews and jump-to-message.

Use Autessa from your coding agent

Set up the Autessa CLI and the Autessa MCP for your own coding agent from inside the chat: the install command, the connector URL and a one-line Claude Code add.

  • Open the setup in the chat. A line on the greeting, or a strip under the top bar mid-conversation.
  • Copy the CLI install. The same install command as the CLI and MCP page.
  • Copy the MCP connector. Including a one-line Claude Code add command.
  • Read the full guide. Linked to the CLI and MCP page.
