Alan
An AI software engineer who plans, builds, tests and ships real apps, then tells you exactly what he did.
What he does
Plans in the open
Your request becomes a short list of steps you can read before any code is written, updated live as he works.
Works in his own machine
Every project gets a private Linux machine where Alan installs real packages and runs real code.
Tests before he talks
Alan writes his own tests and runs them. A failing test means he keeps working, not that he reports success.
Hands you a live link
When the app is running, you get a link to open it, plus a preview right next to the conversation.
Takes follow-ups
Ask for a change in plain words. He edits the same project, re-tests and restarts it.
Reports what changed
Every delivery comes with what he added, what he did and which files changed, in language anyone can read.
A session, start to finish
- 1
You describe it
A sentence or a paragraph about what you need. No technical words required.
- 2
Alan plans it
He breaks the work into steps and shows them to you.
- 3
Alan builds it
Files, packages and commands appear as he works. You can watch, or step away.
- 4
Alan proves it
He writes tests and runs them until they pass. Failures and fixes are on the record.
- 5
You open it
A live link to the running app, with a report of exactly what was done.
- 6
You refine it
Ask for changes in the same conversation. He picks up where he left off.
Try one of these
- A dispatch board for an HVAC company: log service calls, assign technicians, and drag jobs between Scheduled, On site and Complete.
- A booking page for my barbershop with a calendar and text reminders.
- An inventory tracker for my warehouse that warns me when stock runs low.
- A restaurant menu where customers order for pickup, plus a kitchen screen that shows new orders.
Good to know
- Who can use Alan?
- Alan is in private preview. You'll need an access code to start a build.
- What is he best at today?
- Small to medium web apps and tools: dashboards, booking pages, trackers, internal tools and simple APIs.
- How long does a project last?
- Each project's machine stays alive for about 40 minutes, so make follow-up requests in that window. Longer-lived projects are coming.
