Building something

From a sentence in chat to a finished, checked build you can look at.

Start with a sentence

Open AI Builder and describe what you want in your own words. You do not need to specify a technology, a framework, or a structure — say what the thing is for and who it is for.

The assistant may ask a couple of short questions first. It only asks when the answer genuinely changes what gets built; you can skip them and type your own reply instead.

The plan, and approving it

You get a plan card describing what will be made. Nothing is built until you approve it, and approving is the point where credits start being used. If the plan is not what you meant, say so in chat and you will get a new one.

Watching it get built

Once running, the conversation shows you the work as it happens rather than a spinner:

Quiet stretches are normal. When the agents are writing code there is nothing visual to show, so the live view says so rather than inventing something.

The checking loop

When the building is done, the build is checked rather than simply handed over. It is loaded in a real browser at desktop and mobile sizes, clicked and typed at, and — if it is a game — actually played. Alongside that, the code is reviewed and checked for broken links, security problems and accessibility issues.

Anything found gets fixed and then re-checked. That loop repeats until it comes back clean, which is the main reason a build takes as long as it does.

How long it takes

Most builds land somewhere between half an hour and a couple of hours; games routinely take longer because they have art to make and gameplay to test. The in-progress card shows a live estimate based on how builds have actually been running recently, not a fixed guess.

You can close the tab. The build keeps going, and you can come back to it from the AI Builder session list at any time.

Iterating

Every build keeps its earlier versions, so you can compare and go back. To change something you can either describe it in chat and get a new version, or — for wording, pictures and layout blocks — edit it directly.
