Overview

Modern AI tools can write entire applications from clear descriptions. This guide will help you create your first OnlyWorlds tool using AI assistants to handle all the technical work.

No coding experience required
If you can describe what you want and follow step-by-step instructions, you can build a tool.

Getting Started

Create a GitHub account

GitHub hosts your code and publishes your tool to the web for free.

  1. Visit github.com and click “Sign up”
  2. Choose a username - This becomes part of your tool’s web address (username.github.io)
  3. Verify your email - Check your inbox for GitHub’s confirmation
  4. Complete setup - Skip all optional steps for now

Your username is permanent and visible in your tool’s URL. Choose thoughtfully.

Install VS Code

Visual Studio Code is where you’ll work with AI to build your tool.

  1. Download VS Code from code.visualstudio.com
  2. Install it - Accept all default options
  3. Open VS Code - You’ll see a welcome screen
  4. Install GitHub extension - Click Extensions icon (four squares) on left sidebar
    • Search “GitHub Pull Requests”
    • Click Install on the first result
