You can start building with Ntense without knowing how to code. Give your app a name, describe what it should do, and Ntense builds a first version. Open it, try it, and queue the changes you want. Use the working result to decide what matters. When you feel ready, take a more hands-on role with AI in the Workspace and learn the skills your project needs.
The video gives a guided tour of Ntense, Projects, and the Workspace. The steps below follow the current dashboard. They start with Apps, the shortest path from an idea to something you can try.
1. Start with a real outcome
After you sign in, Mission shows what is active, what needs your judgment, and what is ready for review. Think of one small result you want to put in someone's hands. For example: "I want a consulting website that explains my services and gives visitors a clear way to contact me."
If you want help shaping the idea, select Meet now under Meet Ntense. Share the goal, who it is for, and what is unclear. You can come back to Ntense in the Accelerator section for another conversation, or use Calendar when a scheduled check-in would help you follow through.
2. Ask Ntense to create the app
In the dashboard's Build section, open Apps and select the Create a new app tile. The form asks for only two things:
- App name, a short name you will recognise in your app gallery.
- What should the app do?, written in ordinary language.
You do not need to choose a framework or write code. Describe who the app is for and the useful action it should support:
Create a simple consulting website for small businesses. Explain my three services in plain language, show a short example of the work, and make it easy to contact me. The site should work well on a phone.
If you do not name a technology, Ntense chooses a simple setup that fits the brief. That is normally a static website when the app needs no database, and a hosted server app when it needs a backend or saved data.
Select Create app. Ntense creates a Project for the app and starts the first build. The app appears as a card in Apps, showing its status, progress, who is responsible, and when it last changed. The Project also appears in Projects, alongside your other work. You can leave the page and come back. If Ntense needs a decision from you, open the request in Mission or Work and answer it. When a build is ready, select Open app to try it.
3. Try it, judge it, and queue changes
Use the app the way a visitor would. Read the page, try its main action, and check it on a phone-sized screen. Notice where you hesitate or where the result does not match the outcome you wanted. That experience gives you a better next prompt than a long feature list written before you have seen anything.
Select the app's card to open its detail page. Under What would you like to change?, give specific feedback, for example:
The services are clear, but the contact action is hard to find on mobile. Put it near the top and make the next step obvious. Keep the page simple.
Select Add to queue. You can queue changes once the first build has finished. The Request queue shows each request's position and status. Ntense works through them one at a time, in the order they arrived, and each one improves the same app. You can cancel a request while it is still waiting. Finished requests stay under Recent requests with a short result summary, and Latest output shows what the most recent build produced.
When a build finishes, open the app again and compare it with the goal you started with. Repeat this cycle until the app feels useful: ask, open, try, judge, queue the next change.
Take over from Ntense pauses automatic building and the request queue, and your Project history is kept. Select Resume Ntense when you want Ntense to continue.
4. Share the app when you want other people's feedback
After the first build, the app's owner can select Share to create an invitation link. Anyone who accepts it can open the app and ask Ntense to change it. Their requests join the same queue and run on your plan, so share only with people you trust to make requests. Each link works once and expires after seven days. You can revoke an unused link or remove a member at any time. A member can leave a shared app, but only the owner manages sharing and takeover.
5. Move into hands-on building when you are ready
After you have tried a few versions, choose one part you want to understand or improve yourself. Select Start a project from Mission or Projects. For a guided build, choose Self-managed project, browse the blueprints, and preview the stages, Work, dependencies, and milestones. Select Build Now to use a blueprint as shown, or Tailor Project to adapt it with Ntense before you create it.
Open the new Project, then open a ready Work item. Read its Request, Prompt, and Goals so you know what the work is for and how to judge it. Select Build in Workspace to work with an AI agent on that item. Ask the agent to explain any decision you do not understand, inspect the files it changes, test the result, and learn the concept the task reveals. You do not need to master every tool before you begin.
An Accelerator project is another option when you want Ntense to help shape and move a larger goal forward. You give it a title, what you want to achieve, a target duration in weeks, and any useful context. You keep control of important decisions and can take over the work at any time.
6. Review the result and choose the next step
A generated app is a starting point, not a finished product. Check that the main action works and that a real person can understand it. Give precise feedback when it falls short. For structured Projects, use Board to see Work progress, Graph to see dependencies, and Gantt to see the schedule. Mission and Work show the decisions and results that need your review, and Journey shows how the Project has progressed.
Build first, then go deeper where the work demands it. Aim to finish each round with a more useful app and a clearer understanding of how it works.
When you are ready to write code or test an AI feature in your own script or notebook, use the Ntense AI API guide. If your project needs a browser, Xcode, Android tools, or a GPU on another machine, see how to connect your own tools with Ntense Tunnel.
