Version 0.5.4 — the plain-English guide to AutoCoder. No terminal commands, no setup files: just what the app does, how to start, and what to do if something looks wrong.

1. What AutoCoder Is

AutoCoder is an AI teammate that works on your computer. You describe what you want in ordinary language — "add a phone number to the sign-up form" — and it reads your project, makes the changes, checks its own work, and tells you what it did.

You can watch every step, answer its questions, or press STOP at any moment.

Everything runs on your own machine. Your project files stay where they are, and AutoCoder never sees your AI key.

2. What You Need

• A Windows 10 or 11 computer.
• The AutoCoder app — free from the Microsoft Store. Direct link: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PB2WCNNRJCR — see "Download & Install AutoCoder (Windows)" at the end of this guide for the full step-by-step.
• A DeepSeek API key. This is the "brain" you get directly from DeepSeek: create one at platform.deepseek.com under API keys. DeepSeek bills you for what you use — usually a few cents per task.
• Your personal access key: a 32-character code from our Telegram bot that unlocks the app.

3. Set Up in Three Steps

Step 1 — Get your access key

1. In Telegram, open a chat with @AutoCoderOfficialBot.
2. Send /start.
3. The reply shows your access key in a box, plus your plan: 50 free tasks a month, renewed every month. Copy the key, save it somewhere safe, then delete the message.
4. Need a new key later? Send /access_key. The old key stops working immediately, so use the new one in the app.

Step 2 — Install and sign in

1. Install AutoCoder from the Microsoft Store (step-by-step download guide at the end of this page: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PB2WCNNRJCR), then open it.
2. Paste your access key into the box on the sign-in screen.
3. Click Unlock System.
