Quick Start
Get started with Buildpad.ai in just a few steps — from signing up to building with your favourite AI-ready IDE.
Before You Begin — Buildpad.ai runs entirely in your browser. No software installation is required — just sign up and start building.
Create Your Account
Visit the Buildpad.ai login page and click “Sign Up” to create your account via the contact page. Once you’ve signed up, use your email and password to log in to Buildpad.

Create or Join an Organization
Once you’re logged in, you’ll be prompted to create your first organization or join an existing one. Organizations are shared workspaces where your team collaborates on projects. Give your organization a descriptive name (e.g., “My Company” or “Personal Projects”).
Create Your First Project
Inside your organization, click “New Project” to create a project. Enter a project name and optional description. Each project can contain multiple microservices that make up your application.
Set Up Your AI IDE
Buildpad.ai integrates with the AI-ready IDEs you already know and love. From your project’s detail page, download a starter project for your preferred editor:
- VS Code — download the starter and open it in Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot or any AI extension.
- Kiro — grab the Kiro-ready starter for spec-driven AI development with steering files and agent skills.
- Google Antigravity — grab the Antigravity-ready starter with agent skills and backend connections.
Each starter comes with your project’s credentials pre-filled and connects your AI assistant directly to your cloud backend — so it can access your data and generate code that actually works with your project.
