Step 1 · Describe it
“A reading list for my book club.”
Say it the way you'd tell a friend. Lancy may ask a quick question or two.
Lancy, with Vinci
Build apps, end to end.
Understand the code visually.
Describe your idea. Lancy builds the interface, server and database. Vinci makes the code visual, so you can see how it works.

How it works
From a sentence to a working app.
Four steps, in a conversation with Lancy. Nothing is built until you approve the plan.
Step 2 · Approve the plan
Pick its look. Review the plan.
Choose how it should look. See who uses it, the steps they'll take and what your app will save. Change anything, then approve.
Step 3 · Lancy builds it
Built, then checked.
It writes the app, checks it opens and saves what you approved, and tries its buttons and forms. If something isn't right, it tells you.
Step 4 · Use it and share it
Change it in a sentence.
Ask for changes in plain words, and what you've saved stays. When you're ready, share it at its own lancy.ai link.

Questions
Good to know.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Describe what you want and Lancy makes it. If you'd like to understand it, Vinci shows you how, and the Academy teaches you from scratch.
What can apps do today?
Apps keep their own saved data: lists, records, bookings and notes, with text, numbers, dates and yes or no.
Not yet: sign-in, payments, emails, photos or file uploads, or live data from other websites.
Who can see my app?
You and your workspace, until you publish it. A published app gets its own lancy.ai link. Keep it private, or open it to anyone with the link, who can then see and change what it saves.
Does Vinci show everything?
It shows the trip to the server and every save and read and, for most apps, your app's own functions too. When it can't see a step, it says so.
What does it cost?
Joining the waitlist and the Academy are free. Once you're approved, building needs a plan: Lancy is US$15 a month with your own Claude account, and Lancy + AI is US$25 a month including US$10 of Lancy AI credits. See pricing.
What if I need something Lancy can't do?
Every app has an Ask an expert button. Say what you need, see a rough estimate as you type, and get a fixed quote before any work starts. Nothing is charged for asking.
