Discover new possibilities
Ask for today’s demos or search for a specific output: a diagram, explainer, website, or prototype. Keep the creator and original source in view.
The See Then Build chat companion
See an idea.
Make it yours.

“Help me turn my consulting service into a visual a potential client can understand in 30 seconds.”

See Then Build
I’d start with a simple visual of your client journey: the problem they bring, what you do together, and the outcome. Here are a few approaches you could borrow.
Loading the example cards…
Try “Use this example” to prepare a follow-up message. This website preview uses the same cards as the chat companion; the sample reply is illustrative.
From inspiration to useful work
A reference library that works with your AI.
Instead of starting with a blank prompt, start with something you can see. The companion searches See Then Build’s public collection and helps your AI turn the transferable idea into a plan for your work.
Connect an idea to your work
Tell your AI what you do, who you want to reach, and what needs explaining. Ask it to find examples and propose concrete applications.
Go from reference to draft
Combine a useful example, explanation structure, and visual style into a tailored prompt. Your AI can then build with the tools your account provides.
Your first conversation
Ask for an outcome. Add a little context.
After connecting, name See Then Build in your request. Say what you want to make, who it is for, and what source material the AI should use. Copy an example and make it your own.
Discover something worth trying
Get the latest edition, with creator credits, previews where supported, and a link to every demo.
Use See Then Build to show me the latest daily demos. Include every demo, its creator, and its See Then Build page link.
Find a use for your work
Give the AI a little context so it can translate an example into a useful application.
Use See Then Build to find three visual examples I could adapt for my consulting business. Read the examples, explain what each one demonstrates, and suggest one specific thing I could make for prospective clients.
Make a first version
Supply your source material and tell the AI who the result is for. Creation depends on the tools available in your chat.
Use See Then Build to make a one-page visual explaining my consulting service to potential clients. Find and read a useful reference, choose a suitable structure and style, and compose a tailored prompt. Then use your available tools to make a first version. Use the service description I attach; ask for it if it is missing. Check the result for clarity and accuracy.
Get only the prompt
Useful when you want to do the actual creation in a different tool.
Use See Then Build to prepare a prompt for an infographic explaining how customer feedback improves a product. Find a relevant example and include the steps, tools, source credit, and checks I should use. Stop at the prompt; do not generate the infographic yet.
Then improve one thing at a time.
Open the result. Compare it with your source material and the example. Ask for a specific change: “Make the three steps clearer,” “Use less text,” or “Check that the chart matches my numbers.” Keep the source credits when sharing.
For a daily habit, ask: “Show me See Then Build’s daily demos every morning at 9 in America/New_York.” Your chat needs a scheduling feature and must confirm that it created the schedule. Installing or connecting the companion never starts an alert by itself.

Questions & help
Does this create the image, video, or website for me?
The companion finds references and prepares instructions. Your chat’s own tools do the creation. It can help your AI make a first version when those tools are available; it cannot add a missing image or video generator or bypass your account’s limits.
What information can the MCP access?
The current connection reads the public See Then Build catalog. It does not read your private bookmarks, notes, or saved drafts, and it cannot change your account records. The search terms or subject your AI sends are processed to return examples and prompts. Normal hosting logs and your AI provider’s data policies still apply.
Learn more about your See Then Build account and privacy.
I cannot find See Then Build in Plugins.
The public directory release is not available yet. Use the Claude or Codex connection guide, or browse the website and copy a prompt. A manual ChatGPT developer connection is a testing route; it is not the public installation described here.
The connection or first request is not working.
Follow the setup guide for Claude, Codex, or ChatGPT. Make sure the connection is enabled, then try “Use See Then Build…” in a new conversation. Your workplace may need to allow the connection first.
Why do I see links instead of video cards?
Inline previews and video depend on the chat’s support and the original media’s availability. Open the individual See Then Build page to view the example and its source. A missing player does not mean the demo was removed.
Is this the Chrome extension?
No. The chat companion helps you discover and create inside your AI conversation. The separate Chrome extension saves links and examples to your See Then Build account.
