Creating Apps

Create apps via Chat Builder, templates, or GitHub.

Creating Apps

OpenPond supports three creation paths. All of them end in the same place: a deployable tool server with deployments and a workspace.

Create app

Builder

Template

GitHub

Internal app

GitHub repo

Commit

Deploy

1) Chat Builder (fastest)

  • Go to Builder and describe what you want.
  • OpenPond creates an internal app and deploys a preview.
  • Iterate in chat, apply changes, commit, and deploy.

2) Templates

  • Go to Create app and pick a template.
  • We copy the template into an internal repo and deploy a preview.
  • You can edit code and deploy from the project workspace.

3) GitHub

  • Go to Create app and select a GitHub repo.
  • OpenPond deploys from your repo. Push commits like you normally do.

Updating apps

You can update internal apps (including chat-created apps) from either place:

  • Builder: request changes in plain English.
  • Code tab: edit files, commit, and deploy.

Deployments and logs live under Deployments.
