The NodeGX GuideBuild a real app with AI. No coding needed.

Written for people who have never built an app. You talk to Claude, Claude builds in NodeGX, and you can see and change everything.

First time? Do the 7 steps

Read the guide

Plan before you build

Claude asks you questions until you both agree what the app is. NodeGX saves that plan inside your project.

How planning works

Claude builds it in NodeGX

NodeGX checks every change Claude makes, and Claude looks at screenshots of your app to check its own work.

Building with Claude

Change anything yourself

Your app is in NodeGX, where you can see every page and change the words, colours and layout.

Changing things yourself

Put it online

What hosting costs, what you need, and how Claude can help you do it.

Putting your app online

Choose how much to see

You can switch at any time from the top of the sidebar.

Never built an app before?

Start with the seven steps at nodegx.io/start. They take you from downloading Claude to your first app on screen, one click at a time. Then come back here when you want to know more.
