The tutorial uses Kimi Code in VS Code to build a clothing store through staged prompts. The presenter selects the model labeled K3, sets thinking effort to high and starts with the storefront. A screenshot helps the coding assistant correct a header alignment problem.
Product customization comes next. The presenter supplies AI-generated clothing images, a CSV file with product details and a video to replace the homepage carousel. The workflow then moves from a local development preview to a public deployment on InsForge.
The presenter describes InsForge as open source and runnable on a laptop, but demonstrates its hosted service rather than a self-hosted installation. Setup includes creating a project, selecting a region and giving the agent project access. Backend prompts create product, cart and order tables, followed by account registration with a six-digit email verification code.
Checkout testing exposes a dummy PayPal URL. The presenter replaces it with a real account link, repeats the purchase flow and reports a successful payment with a corresponding paid order in the database. He says he uses InsForge's free tier. These demonstrations support the specific workflow shown; they do not establish the broader claims that any application can be built this way or that the store is production ready.
