# How It Works

> Three simple steps to convert your idea into a deployed, live web application.

## Connect & Describe

Go to `cod3r.ai` and connect your Web3 wallet. Your wallet address becomes your unique account identifier — no email, no password, no KYC.

Open a new project and describe what you want to build in the text field.

```
Example prompts:

"Build a landing page for my NFT collection
 with a mint button and a roadmap section."

"Create a DeFi dashboard that shows wallet
 balance and a staking calculator."

"Make a crypto portfolio tracker with charts."
```

## Watch It Build

cod3r.ai generates your app in real-time with a live preview. Watch your application take shape as the AI writes the code. If something isn't right, describe the change and the AI updates it instantly.

{% hint style="info" icon="lightbulb" %}
Each AI generation or project update consumes credits. The Free plan includes 75 credits to get started.
{% endhint %}

## Publish

When you're happy with the result, hit publish. Your app goes live on a custom domain with one click. Pro and Ultra users can connect their own `.com` or any custom domain, and download the full source code.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cod3r.gitbook.io/cod3r-documentation/getting-started/how-it-works.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
