FAQ
How do I get started with w1?
Install the VS Code beta, open a project folder, and describe what you want built, fixed, or explained.
What kinds of student work can w1 help with?
Coding assignments, dashboards, research tools, prototypes, bug fixes, portfolio projects, and small internal tools.
Does w1 replace learning?
No. It is designed to keep the work visible: changes, checks, and explanations stay in front of you so you can understand what happened.
Does w1 need my own model API key?
No. The beta is hosted for you. You install the extension and work from VS Code.
Can w1 work outside coding later?
Yes. The first beta is for VS Code, but the product direction includes research, documents, architecture, dashboards, and other student workflows.
How much does w1 cost?
The beta is free while we test with early users. Pricing will be announced before the public launch.
Private beta
Three ways to run w1.
Desktop app, VS Code, or straight from the browser. Every version is hosted on our cloud, so there is nothing to configure and no model keys to set up.
w1 for VS Code
Bring w1 into the editor you already use. Install the extension and work from VS Code on any platform.

w1 on the web
