How to Use OpenPond

This guide maps the common flows you will use day to day: creating apps, iterating on code, running tools, and managing wallets.

1) Create an app

Pick the workflow that matches how you like to build:

• Chat Builder: go to Builder and describe what you want.
• Templates or GitHub: go to Create app and choose a template or link a repo.

2) Deploy and iterate

• Internal apps are committed and deployed from the UI.
• GitHub apps deploy from your repo. Push a commit and OpenPond builds it.

You can update from either the Builder or the Code tab:

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

3) Run tools and inspect execution

• Runner: execute tools with inputs and see responses.
• Execution: view recent tool runs and logs.

4) Manage wallets

OpenPond creates two wallets for each user:

• Personal vault: human-only, safe storage.
• Operating wallet: shared by your apps for working capital.

Use the Wallet Manager from the project overview to deposit, transfer, and approve:

• Project overview → Manage

5) Publish and share (optional)

When you want to expose tools publicly:

• Set app visibility to public in Settings.
• Share the Tool page.
