Five kinds of things you can make

Web pages

One file that opens in your browser. Nothing to install, so this is the best place to start.

Handy scripts

Little helpers that do boring jobs for you, like tidying folders or renaming hundreds of photos.

Downloads tidy-up
PDF merger
Price-drop alert

Small programs

Games and apps with a bit more going on. Great for a weekend once you've made your first page.

For families

Things to make with or for your children: games, puzzles, a countdown and a chart for the fridge.

AI at work

For office jobs. Get AI to write the formula, or hand it the data and get back a clean file, a summary or a chart.

How it works

You don't write the code. You describe it.

Try the finished thing

Every project page opens with a working version. Play the game or use the timer so you know exactly what you're making.

Copy the prompts

Paste our tested prompts into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. The AI writes the code and explains it in plain English.

Save, open, twist it

Save the file, double-click it, and it runs. Then ask for changes: your colours, your name, a new rule.

What is vibe coding?

It's the name people use for building software by talking to an AI instead of typing code yourself. You describe what you want, try what it makes, and say what to change. Our beginner guide explains it in five minutes, with no jargon.
