Codexa for students
Learn by building real applications with explanations at every step.
Ask mode explains what the code does and why; Build mode shows every change it makes. You end up with a project you can read, not a black box.
A typical workflow
A study loop that produces portfolio projects.
Step 1: Pick a template
Start with a documented React, static, or Express starter.
Step 2: Ask questions
Use Ask mode to understand each file before changing it.
Step 3: Build in small steps
Request one feature at a time and read the diff.
Step 4: Publish
Deploy to a Codexa subdomain and link it from your résumé.
Features that matter here
Starter templates
React + Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind SPAs, static sites, and Node + Express APIs with documented dependencies.
AI agent that edits real files
Plans, writes and edits project files, runs type-check and build in the sandbox, and repairs errors (bounded to two attempts). Requires an AI provider key configured by your operator.
Snapshots and per-file diffs
A snapshot is taken before every AI run. Review what changed file by file and restore with one click.
Codexa static hosting
Build in the sandbox and serve at a subdomain with deployment history and rollback. Vercel adapter available when a token is configured.
GitHub import and push
Import an existing repository, commit from Codexa, and push back when GitHub OAuth is configured.
Share links
Share a project for viewing or editing with an expiring link.
Example project ideas
Starting prompts you can paste into Codexa. Each one maps to a starter template and produces real, editable code.
- A personal portfolio with a projects grid and a contact form
- A quiz app that tracks scores with a small Express API
- A college event listing with filters and an organiser login
- A notes app with Markdown preview and keyboard shortcuts
Limitations to know about
- AI generation requires an Anthropic or OpenAI API key configured by the operator of your Codexa instance; without one the agent shows a "not configured" state.
- Generated code is a starting point. Review it like any other contribution before shipping to customers.
- Starter templates currently cover single-page React apps, static sites, and Node + Express APIs. Other stacks can be imported from GitHub but have not been tuned for the sandbox.
- Student discounts are in review and not yet available; see the students page for how to register interest.
