Command Deck
All systems online. Awaiting your next input.
Let me show you around.
The Command Deck is the main interface you land on when entering Origin. Think of it as your pilot seat: the central terminal where creation begins, exploration happens, and interaction with the Origin ecosystem takes place.
This section breaks down each part of the interface and how it fits into the flow of building with Origin.
Activity Bar
At the very top of the Command Deck, you’ll see a scrolling Activity Bar. This live feed shows important real-time events happening across the Origin ecosystem, including:
New apps being created
Apps being tokenized
Forks made by other users
Featured updates or announcements
It’s a pulse on what's active and trending in the community.
Featured App
The center of the Command Deck highlights a Featured App — one of the top creations in the system, updated regularly. This card gives you quick access to:
A preview of the app
Number of plays or likes
The ability to launch and interact with it instantly
This spotlight showcases standout work from the Origin community.
Command Input (Chat Box)
Just below the Featured App is your Command Input — the core of how you build in Origin.
Here, you simply type what you want to create. It could be a tool, game, calculator, dashboard, or anything else. Origin S1 reads your input, understands your intent, and begins generating software in real time.
This functions similarly to how you’d interact with a chat interface, but instead of answers, you get working code.
Example Prompts
The Command Deck provides a series of prompt shortcuts below the input bar.
These are quick examples of things you can build. Click one to instantly pre-fill a command and launch the build process. It's a great way to explore what's possible or break creative blocks.
Navigation Panel
At the bottom of the screen, you’ll find a compact Navigation Panel. This gives you fast access to key areas of the Origin system.
These buttons include:
App Gallery: Explore apps created by other users. Fork, test, and collaborate.
Cortex: Adjust the behavior of Origin S1 with sliders like Creativity and Code Density.
Launcher: Deploy and manage your own applications from one place.
Profile: View your saved apps, forks, tokens, and activity.
Socials: Connect with the Origin community, access announcements and hackathons.
Inbox: Get messages, collaboration invites, and system notifications.
Each of these sections plays a role in how you build and operate inside Origin.
Wallet Connection
In the top right corner, you’ll see the Wallet Button. Connecting your wallet enables the full range of Origin functionality.
Without a wallet, you can still explore apps and browse the platform. With a wallet connected, you unlock:
App creation
Liking and saving apps
Forking existing projects
Joining chats and collaborations
Tokenizing your creations
Wallets are also tied to your identity as a Pilot within the ecosystem.
