A repo that teaches non-technical teams to build applets with an agent

What it is

This repo has all the instructions needed for creating an applet hub that non-technical people can open in a coding agent and use like a chatbot. They describe what they want. The agent builds it, starts a local preview, and sends a link so they can see it right away. When they say "make the link live", it goes up to Vercel.

The two files that make this work are AGENTS.md (how the agent talks and deploys) and INIT.md (how it builds the project the first time).

One-time setup

1. Open this repo on GitHub in a coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, or similar).
2. Tell it: "Follow the instructions in INIT.md, then commit and push everything to main."
3. Connect the repo to Vercel and deploy it. Optional: set a PASSWORD env var if you want the site locked, or LLM_API if applets will call an AI provider.
4. Invite people as GitHub collaborators.

They clone the repo (a container or Codespace is fine) and talk to the agent. That is the whole setup.

What people say to the agent

You do not need to write code, run terminal commands, or learn Git.

• New applet: "I want to build an applet for a feedback form."
• See it: "Show me." The agent should also send a preview link on its own after it builds something.
• Change something: "Make the buttons on the landing page blue."
• Put it on the internet: "Make the link live."
• Keep it from expiring: "I want this applet to stay live for 90 days."

It works with any agent, and was tested with DeepSeek-V4-Flash, Codex and Kimi.
