The AI builder

How the embr builder works: chat on the left, your live game on the right, with a code editor and an autopilot queue.

The builder is embr’s "bolt for games" workspace: chat with your AI partner on the left, watch your game run live on the right. Work auto-saves as you go.

Powering the builder

The AI is the brain; embr is the tool. You power it one of two ways:

OptionHow it works
Your own keyPaste an Anthropic API key. It’s stored only in your browser and goes straight to Anthropic — embr never sees it.
embr creditsNo key needed. embr runs the build and bills your prepaid balance for what it costs.

Iterating

  • Ask for changes in plain language — the AI edits the game you already have.
  • Open the code editor to hand-tweak anything, then hit Run.
  • Queue several instructions and run them in order on autopilot.

Every build is saved as a version you can roll back to — see Version history.
