New project from an idea
The workbench · 2 min read
Describe what you want to build, and Agentfly makes a new project folder for it, opens it and starts building.
When you would want it
You came with an idea, not a folder. Finding or making an empty folder first is a step between you and seeing the idea work.
Where to find it
- All Features → New project from an idea
- New project
What you get out of it
- Start from an idea, not from a folder: there is no empty-folder step between you and a working first version.
- Every project lives in one place, named after what it is, so you can find it again next week.
- A question asked with no folder open is just answered - no folder is made for it.
How to use it, step by step
- With no folder open, describe what you want built in the chat - for example "build a snake game" or "make a landing page for my bakery".
- Agentfly makes a new folder for it in Documents › Agentfly Projects, named after your idea, and opens it.
- Your request goes to the assistant, which builds it. Unless you named a framework, it uses plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so it runs in the preview straight away with nothing to install.
- You can also run New Project from an Idea from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), or use the box on the welcome screen.
Why this beats the usual way
Other editors open on an empty window and expect you to create, name and open a folder before anything happens. Agentfly treats your idea as the starting point.
