🚀 Build with Ada

How Ada turns a plain-language request into a working app.

Ada starts with a plain-language description. It plans screens, data, navigation, and accounts, then shows the working app in the preview.

  • Ada may ask questions before building when it needs information it should not guess, especially about stored data and user roles.
  • The first build can take several minutes because Ada checks the requested work after building and repairs incomplete parts.
  • The result is a real app with screens, data, login, and navigation, not only a visual mockup.
  • The preview updates after a completed change.

A useful first request names the app, its users, the important records, and the main action. Start with one coherent change so the result is easy to review.

After the first build, ask for focused changes such as adding a favorites screen, changing currency formatting, or allowing staff to cancel a booking.

You can also ask how the app works. Questions such as “where is the price used?” should explain the app without changing it.

An app can have separate conversations for separate work. Only one build runs for an app at a time, so concurrent changes cannot overwrite each other.

Ada can pause for approval before a risky data change. Stopping a build returns the app to its last working state. If you close or reload the builder, an active build and its response should still be available when you return.

Each completed change is saved as a version that can be named and restored.
