Understanding the Interface

The AIWA interface brings everything you need to build, preview, manage, and publish your application into one workspace. This guide introduces the main areas you’ll use while working on a project.

​

The AIWA dashboard

When you sign in to AIWA, you’ll arrive at your dashboard. This is where you can start a new project, access existing projects, and continue working on applications you’ve already created. The prompt box is the fastest way to start something new. Simply describe what you want to build and submit your prompt.

​

The project workspace

After creating or opening a project, you’ll enter the AIWA project workspace. This is where most of your building happens. The workspace is designed to let you communicate with AIWA while seeing the application you’re building. As AIWA makes changes, you can review the result and continue giving instructions without leaving the project.

​

Chat with your AI product team

The conversation area is where you work with AIWA. You can use it to request new features, make changes, fix problems, or ask AIWA to improve something it has already created. For example:

Change the hero section to use a darker background and make the headline more prominent.

Or:

Add a project gallery with filters for residential and commercial projects.

Or:

Add a contact form that saves enquiries to the database.

You don’t need to create a new project for each request. Continue the conversation inside your existing project.

​

Build and Plan

Near the prompt area, you can choose how AIWA should approach your request. Build is used when you want AIWA to implement your request. Plan is used when you want AIWA to think through and structure the work before implementation.

​

AIWA Min and AIWA Max

AIWA also lets you choose between different levels of AI reasoning for your work. AIWA Min is designed for faster work and straightforward tasks. AIWA Max is designed for tasks that benefit from deeper reasoning and more complex problem solving. For example, a simple text or design change may not require the same level of reasoning as architecting a multi-user SaaS application.

​

Preview your application

The preview lets you see what AIWA is building. Instead of waiting until the end of development, you can inspect your application as it evolves. Use the preview to check things such as:

• Page layout
• Navigation
• Content
• Responsive behavior
• Forms and interactions
• Application workflows

If something isn’t how you want it, return to the conversation and tell AIWA what you’d like changed. This creates a simple loop: Request → Build → Preview → Improve

​

Working with your project

Your project contains the files and application structure AIWA creates as it builds. Depending on the workspace view and available tools, you can inspect the project while continuing to work with AIWA. For most users, you don’t need to manually edit files to build successfully. You can simply describe the changes you want. Developers, however, can use the additional project controls when they want more visibility into the underlying application.

​

Connectors

Connectors allow your application to work with external services. Depending on what you’re building, you may connect services for things like:

• Payments
• Email
• SMS
• AI models
• File and image storage
• Calendars
• Other external services

For example, if your application needs payments, you can connect Stripe and then ask AIWA to build the required payment experience.

​

Project settings

Your project settings give you access to configuration and management options for the current application. [INSERT SCREENSHOT: AIWA project settings] The available settings may include options related to your project, connected services, deployment, and other project-level configuration. You generally won’t need to change these settings when creating your first application.

​

Publish

When your application is ready, the Publish control takes it from your workspace to a live environment. Publishing gives you a live version of the application that can be accessed outside AIWA. We won’t publish just yet, that’s what we’ll do on the next page.

​

You don’t need to learn everything at once

The AIWA workspace contains tools for simple websites as well as more sophisticated applications. You don’t need to understand every control before you start. For your first project, remember these four things: As you build more advanced applications, the rest of the interface will become increasingly useful.

​

Next: Publish your first project

You’ve created a project, written your first prompt, and learned your way around the AIWA workspace. Next, let’s put your application online with Publish Your First Project.
