Build a working app from one sentence
Step 1 of 8
Understand what artifacts can build
An artifact is a real interactive app Claude writes and runs inside your chat — buttons, inputs, calculations, charts. It's published with a link anyone can use, no account needed.
Checkpoint
Your idea is one screen, one job — and you know the rules it should follow.
Before you begin
Tick these off as you sort them. Stopping halfway to create an account is how a fifteen-minute build becomes an hour.

- Account
Artifacts work on all plans; paid plans allow longer build-and-refine sessions before you hit limits.
- Know-how
Think tiny and specific: a quote calculator for your services, a shift-swap planner, a freelance rate checker. One job, done well. Not 'an app for my business'.
- Know-how
If it's a calculator: the actual pricing logic. If it's a planner: the constraints. Claude builds exactly what you describe, so the logic has to come from you.
The basics — ticked once, remembered everywhere
- Account
Either the hosted version or a self-hosted install. Everything here works the same on both — the only visible difference is the shape of your webhook URLs.
Create a workspace - Know-how
Adding a node, connecting two of them, and pressing Execute. If any of that is new, the free primer covers it in about ten minutes.
- Credential
You will paste at least one secret during setup. A password manager beats a notes app, and it stops you pasting a live key into a chat window by accident.
