# Getting started with AEserver AI Builder

You can go from an idea to a first draft of your website or app in a few minutes. The Free plan includes 500,000 credits to use within 30 days and does not need a payment card.

## Before you start

- You need an **email address** you can open. We send your account details and builder link there.
- Each account can have **one Free plan**. If you used it before, choose Maker or Creator instead.
- Already an AEserver customer? **Log in to my.aeserver.com first**, so the builder is added to your existing account and you skip the sign-up form.

 **Tip**Have a logo, your brand colours or a website you like the look of? Keep them handy. The more the AI knows from the start, the better the first version.

## Step 1: Describe your website or app

1. Go to the [AEserver AI Builder page](https://www.aeserver.com/ai-builder/).
2. Type what you want in the box at the top, for example: *A website for my bakery in Dubai, with a menu and an order form*. Not sure where to start? Pick one of the ideas under the box and replace the parts in square brackets, such as [business name], with your own details.
3. Press **Start building**.

## Step 2: Create your free account

Enter your **name**, **email address** and a **password** of at least 8 characters, complete the security check and press the button to create your account. Your idea is shown on the same page, so you can still change it.

- **Already logged in?** This step is skipped.
- **Email already registered?** Log in with that email instead (use **Forgot password** if you need to). You are brought back to finish, and your idea is kept.

## Step 3: Your builder opens with your idea

Your account and Free plan are set up straight away and the builder opens with your idea in the chat. Check it, add anything you forgot, and send it. The AI starts building and shows its progress in the chat; the first version can take a few minutes.

When it is ready, look at the preview. Use the device switch above it to see your site on a phone, tablet and computer. Then keep going: ask for what you would like changed, one thing at a time.

We also send you an email with the subject **Your AEserver AI Builder is ready**, with a button that opens the builder.

## Step 4: Come back to the builder any time

1. Log in to **my.aeserver.com**.
2. Open **My Products and Services** and choose **AEserver AI Builder**.
3. Press **Open AI Builder**. You are signed in to the builder automatically.

## Choosing how the AI works

Next to the message box is a mode selector. **Auto** is the default and suits most people.

| Mode | What it does | Use it when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Auto | Builds simple requests straight away and plans bigger ones first | You are not sure, or mixing small and large changes |
| Plan | Always shows you a plan and waits for your go-ahead | Adding something bigger, such as bookings or user sign-in |
| Build | Builds straight away, without questions | You know exactly what you want |
