Creating Apps

OpenPond supports three creation paths. All of them end in the same place: a deployable tool server with deployments and a workspace.

For the full lifecycle view, see From Idea to Execution.

1) Prompt create (fastest)

• Go to Agents Chat and describe what you want.
• OpenPond creates an internal app and opens the AI workspace.
• Iterate in AI, apply changes, and deploy.

2) Strategy copies

• Copy a strategy when you want a ready-made starting point.
• OpenPond creates an internal app from that strategy and opens the workspace.
• You can keep iterating in chat or code and deploy from the project workspace.

3) GitHub

• Connect a GitHub repo when your code already lives outside OpenPond.
• OpenPond deploys from your repo. Push commits like you normally do.

Updating apps

You can update internal apps (including chat-created apps) from either place:

• AI: request changes in plain English and apply updates.
• Code: edit files, commit, and deploy.

Deployment history and runtime output live under the Deployments and Logs tabs.
