AI Builder

AI Builder is a global chat assistant that can build your project for you conversationally — creating entities, events, API endpoints, and templates from a plain-language description. It is the fastest way to go from an idea to a working configuration.

Opening the panel

Click the AI Builder (robot) button in the header. The panel opens as a 400px column on the right.

The AI Builder chat panel

  • Pin it (pin icon) to keep it as a permanent side column — the main content shifts to make room. Unpinned, it floats over the content.
  • The open/pinned state, chosen model, and active session survive page reloads.

AI Builder works in the context of the active configuration. Without one selected, the panel shows a "Select a configuration" prompt.

Chatting

  • Type in the box at the bottom — Enter sends, Shift+Enter inserts a newline.
  • The assistant streams its reply. When it uses a tool, a chip appears above the message (e.g. Get Config Structure) with a spinner that turns into ✓ on success or ⚠ on error. Tool errors are not shown as failures to you — the assistant reads them and adapts.
  • Use the Stop button to interrupt streaming. The reply is saved on the server even if interrupted, so reloading shows the full conversation.

Sessions

  • The header has history (list of past chats), new chat (＋), pin, and close controls.
  • Chat sessions are scoped to the configuration — switching configs gives you that config's own set of chats.
  • Each session's title is auto-generated from its first message; sessions show message count and date, with inline delete.

Models & context

  • Pick the model at the bottom of the panel (for example Claude Opus 4.8, Sonnet, or Haiku). The model is fixed for the session once it starts.
  • A thin bar under the model selector shows context-window usage; it turns amber, then red, as the conversation approaches the window limit.

What it can build

AI Builder has tools to inspect and modify your configuration — it can create and wire up entities, events, API endpoints, templates, and agents, then help deploy them. Describe what you want ("a REST API for a contacts table with create/list/update/delete") and it assembles the pieces.
