Documentation
Everything you need to build, ship, and scale apps with Lampcode.
Getting Started
Lampcode is an AI vibe coder that turns natural-language prompts into production-ready apps. To start, go to the Dashboard, write what you want to build, and pick a mode:
- Fast Mode — quick single-shot generation. Great for landing pages and prototypes.
- Planning Mode (coming soon) — Lampcode interviews you, drafts a plan, then builds.
- Editor Mode (coming soon) — surgical edits to an existing project.
Your first app in 60 seconds
- Click New App in the sidebar.
- Describe your idea in the prompt box.
- Optionally attach a screenshot, paste a URL, or import from Figma.
- Hit Send and watch the agent work in the workspace.
Workspace Guide
The workspace has two panels:
- Left panel — agent activity during build, then a persistent prompt box for changes.
- Right panel — switch between Preview (live iframe with desktop/tablet/mobile toggle) and Code (read-only file tree + syntax-highlighted viewer).
Use Open in new tab for a full-screen preview, and the Publish menu to deploy to Vercel or push to GitHub.

Tips & Tricks
- Attach a screenshot for pixel-faithful designs.
- Paste a URL to clone a reference site's layout.

- Use Planning Mode for anything with auth, payments, or a database schema.
