Connect ChatGPT — set up once, then ask in the chat

Not sure ChatGPT is the one to start with? Compare the other ways in.

1. Connect ChatGPT to Erawan Cloud

Add Erawan Cloud to ChatGPT with the guide for the way you use it. Every step has a picture.

• ChatGPT in a browser: added as a plugin on chatgpt.com.
• The ChatGPT app on your computer: one more step, a Project tied to a folder.

At the end of the guide ChatGPT reads your Erawan account back to you. Once it does, come back for the next step.

2. Say what you want

Start a new chat and describe what you want the way you would explain it to a person. No technical words needed, and ask for it to be put online in the same message. You can paste one of these to try.

If what comes back isn't quite right, say plainly what is wrong, such as “make the button bigger” or “I wanted a delete button too”. ChatGPT changes it in the same chat, and you can keep going like this.

After you send it

Before the app goes online, Erawan checks the code, for example for a secret key left in it or a debug mode left on. Once it passes, ChatGPT hands you a link that works. Below is a real one: a lottery checker asked for in one message, with a link in under four minutes.

From the request to a live site, all inside ChatGPT.

If the first try doesn't work

You don't have to chase the problem down. ChatGPT reads the error Erawan sends back, changes the code and tries again. If it is still stuck, say what the screen shows, and ChatGPT reads the logs from there.

If ChatGPT acts as if it has never heard of Erawan, start a new chat. A chat opened before you added the plugin cannot see it.

What it costs

The first time, you don't need an Erawan account. An app put online this way lasts 24 hours. Sign up free within that time and the app moves into your account, on the same link. Once you have an account, websites are free with no end date, and your first app is free for 30 days. See every plan
