# Build with Chat

> Describe what you want and Activepieces builds it

Instead of dragging steps together, describe the outcome you want and Chat builds the agent or automation for you. It picks the pieces, wires the steps, and fills in the configuration.

## Getting started

Open **Chat** in the sidebar and describe what you want in plain language. Be specific about the outcome rather than the steps:

* "When a new row is added to my CRM, summarise it and post to Slack"
* "Every Monday, pull last week's support tickets and email me the themes"
* "Watch this inbox and create a task for anything that looks like a bug report"

Chat asks for anything it needs, such as which account to use, and builds the flow. You can review every step before publishing.

## What it can do

* Build flows from a description, choosing the pieces for you
* Connect the apps a flow needs
* Explain what an existing flow does
* Change a flow you already have

## After it builds

Chat produces a normal flow. Open it in the builder, edit any step by hand, and [publish it](/docs/flows/publishing-flows) when you're happy. Nothing is locked or special about a flow that Chat created.

## Prefer your own AI client?

If you'd rather build from Claude, Cursor, or any other MCP client, the [MCP server](/docs/mcp/overview) exposes the same capabilities as tools.
