Getting Started with Hexly: Build Software by Speaking

Getting Started with Hexly

Welcome to Hexly, the voice-first AI platform that empowers anyone with an idea to build production software by speaking. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to start building.

What is Hexly?

Hexly removes the syntax barrier from software development. Instead of learning programming languages, you simply speak your vision, and our AI generates real code in React, TypeScript, and Next.js. Watch your app build in real-time with live previews in cloud containers.

How It Works

1. Describe Your Vision

Start by describing what you want to build. Be as specific or as general as you like:

“Create a task management app with a dark theme. I want to be able to add tasks, mark them complete, and organize them into categories.”

2. Watch It Build

Hexly’s AI interprets your request and generates production-quality code. You’ll see:

  • Real-time code generation
  • Live preview of your app
  • File structure updates
  • Terminal output

3. Iterate with Voice

Want to make changes? Just speak:

“Add a search bar at the top that filters tasks by name”

Or:

“Change the primary color to purple and add a subtle gradient to the header”

Key Features

Voice-First Development

Our natural language processing understands context and intent. You don’t need to use technical jargon—describe what you want in plain English.

Real Production Code

Unlike other no-code tools, Hexly generates actual React and TypeScript code. You own your code and can export it anytime.

Cloud-Powered Preview

Every project runs in its own isolated cloud container, giving you a real preview of how your app will work in production.

Crypto-Native

Connect your wallet for seamless authentication and pay with USDC. No credit cards, no subscriptions—just pay for what you use.

Your First Project

Ready to build? Here’s a simple project to get started:

  1. Connect your wallet using the button in the header
  2. Create a new project from your dashboard
  3. Start speaking your first feature

Try saying:

“Build a simple landing page with a hero section that says ‘Welcome to My App’ and a call-to-action button that says ‘Get Started’”

Tips for Best Results

  1. Be specific about design: Mention colors, spacing, and layout preferences
  2. Describe functionality clearly: What should happen when users interact?
  3. Iterate incrementally: Start simple and add features one at a time
  4. Use examples: “Like Notion” or “Similar to Twitter” helps convey style
