Hello,

2
00:00:00.940 --> 00:00:02.720
I'm Chris and I created Elements.

3
00:00:02.820 --> 00:00:04.120
I'm so happy that you're here,

4
00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:04.980
and in this guide,

5
00:00:05.020 --> 00:00:07.050
I'm going to walk you through how to get set up with Elements

6
00:00:07.050 --> 00:00:10.360
and Claude Code so that you can build applications on your local computer.

7
00:00:10.780 --> 00:00:10.890
First,

8
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:13.510
let me give you a quick history of where Elements comes from.

9
00:00:13.940 --> 00:00:17.050
I was the Chief Technology Officer of a FinTech company where

10
00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:20.360
we were processing hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions.

11
00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:22.420
I built the first version of Elements there,

12
00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:23.770
and a couple of years later,

13
00:00:23.860 --> 00:00:27.050
I spun it out into its own company called Elements Dev Corporation.

14
00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:30.620
I've been working on it for over 10 years and I'm super excited to bring it to you.

15
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:32.990
Now you might be coming from a vibe coding

16
00:00:32.990 --> 00:00:34.960
platform or you might be starting from scratch.

17
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:35.670
Either way,

18
00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:36.200
don't worry,

19
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:38.460
I'm going to be there with you every step of the way.

20
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:40.910
I think Elements is the best way today to

21
00:00:40.910 --> 00:00:43.430
build applications with an agent like Claude Code,

22
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.430
and I'm going to show you exactly how to do that.

23
00:00:45.530 --> 00:00:45.860
So

24
00:00:46.010 --> 00:00:46.850
let's get started.
