This is the short version. Builder and Pro teachers, follow these five steps. Each step links to a deeper page if you need more.
1. Have an idea
What's a tiny tool, game, quiz, or generator that would help you, your students, or your colleagues? Don't aim for big. Randomizers and timers are great apps to start with.
2. Ask an AI chatbot to write it
Open Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Prompt the AI chatbot to build a single-page HTML app and describe what you want it to do. The AI will write the code and show you a preview. Read more about prompting AI.
3. Copy the HTML
Copy the full HTML code (everything from <!DOCTYPE html> to </html>) from the AI's response. If the chatbot has a Canvas or preview pane, use the copy button there.
4. Paste into the Add App form
On Teacher Hive, go to My Apps and click Add App. Fill in the fields and paste the HTML Code in the App Source section. Field-by-field walkthrough.
5. Test, then publish
Click Save. Launch the app from your My Apps page. Try it as a student would. When it works, share the link with your class. Before you publish checklist.
One thing to know up front. If your app uses a Superpower (AI, Email, Connected, Short Link, File Locker), the preview in the AI chatbot won't show the Superpower working. Always test on Teacher Hive itself after pasting the HTML code into the form.
