- Owner confirms or edits the plan in chat.
- Platform builds the app in a sandbox and shows progress.
- Owner opens the live preview and clicks around the generated screens.

Screens
- Dashboard. Welcome back view with New App button and recent builds.

- Text (optional): Optional follow-up chat to refine features, text, or chatbot answers before publishing.
What comes out

- File: Generated app code bundle available for download from the build screen.
Models
Model Used for Why Muse Wonder Turn short descriptions into app plans, Next.js code, and chatbot instructions It reasons over text to design small apps and to draft safe chatbot behavior from made-up data. Limits
- Only the owner can describe, build, and publish apps. Visitors cannot start new builds.
- Published child apps cannot build or publish other apps themselves.
- All content is made up, like the pretend tide-pool club and zubrel snail. No real clubs, animals, or personal data.
- Each build and each child chatbot counts against a small daily model budget, so long builds may stop early.
- Server requests are capped near 4.5 MB. Larger files upload to temporary storage first and are deleted after 24 hours.
From your inspo
The person gave text only with no files. They want an owner-only vibe coding platform that turns a short description into a small app with a built-in chatbot using only made-up data.
Takes
- The job of describing a small app and getting a working app back
- A simple create then preview then publish flow
- Playful sample theme with a pretend club and invented creature
Cost per run: about $0.19 (est.). One run uses muse-wonder-1.0 to plan and draft code: about 12k input tokens at $4 per M equals $0.048 plus about 7k output tokens at $20 per M equals $0.14 for a total of about $0.19.
