# Arc Studio

> Idea to app in minutes.

Arc Studio is an AI coding agent for building internet financial infrastructure:
stablecoins, smart contracts, and payments. Describe what you want to build in
natural language, and Arc Studio writes, previews, and deploys a working
full-stack onchain app for you. It defaults to [Arc](/arc-chain) and
[USDC](/arc/concepts/stablecoin-native-model), so your app is ready for onchain
money out of the box.

Use Arc Studio in the browser, where a live preview, editable code and file
workbench, and terminal are built in. You can also paste the Arc Studio setup
prompt into your preferred editor: Claude, Codex, or Cursor. Arc Studio builds
and deploys to Arc testnet, so you can ship and iterate safely (it does not
deploy to mainnet on your behalf).

## Capabilities

* **Build apps from a prompt.** Turn a natural-language description into a
  working full-stack onchain app in minutes.
* **Generate and deploy smart contracts.** Plan, generate, compile, and deploy
  Solidity contracts to Arc testnet.
* **Build on existing contracts.** Create a frontend on top of a contract that's
  already deployed.
* **Preview live and iterate.** Run your app in a live sandbox, submit real
  testnet transactions, and refine it through chat.
* **Start from a template.** Remix prebuilt sample apps like a prediction
  market, a USDC checkout flow, a crosschain bridge, or an onchain profile.
* **Move USDC out of the box.** USDC and a built-in Arc testnet faucet are ready
  by default, so you can fund a wallet and move money without leaving Arc
  Studio.
* **Connect a wallet.** Sign and send transactions from the live preview with a
  connected wallet.
* **Export your code.** Push to GitHub to keep building or deploy elsewhere.
