Workshop builds real, deployed software — not mockups, not prototypes, not chat transcripts. You describe what you want in plain English and Workshop writes the code, sets up the infrastructure, and deploys the result. These guides walk you through the most common types of projects people build with Workshop, from websites and AI-powered apps to dashboards and mobile apps.

Workshop Cloud vs. Desktop

Not every project type works on every platform. Here’s a quick guide:

AI-powered appsYesYes
DashboardsYesYes
Internal toolsYesYes
Mobile appsYes
Workshop Cloud runs in your browser with a managed sandbox, one-click publishing, and built-in hosting. It’s optimized for web apps, data apps, and anything you want to share via a link. Workshop Desktop gives you full filesystem access and terminal control on your local machine. It’s required for projects that need native toolchains — mobile development, desktop apps, or anything that must run locally.
If you’re not sure which platform to use, start with Workshop Cloud. You can always move to Desktop later if your project requires it.
