Latest update, November 4, 2026: Dex now answers more store questions (delivery, warranty, returns and more), points you to restock and price alerts, and gives you a Messenger button when you would rather talk to a person. See What’s new with Dex for every change since launch.

Dex is the AI Build Assistant you can chat with in our Custom PC Builder. Tell Dex your budget and what the PC is for, the way you would tell our team at the shop, in English, Tagalog or Taglish. Dex picks compatible parts from our catalogue at today’s prices, fills the builder for you and explains every pick. You can ask questions, change anything, and even ask about the store. It’s free.

We add to Dex often, so this post grows with it. Every new feature gets a dated line under What’s new with Dex below.

Chat with Dex

Start a chat

Open the PC Builder, stay on Build it with AI and tap Chat with Dex. Prefer a form? The same panel still has the AI form, a step-by-step guide for first-time builders, and Pick my own parts if you want to choose every part yourself.

The Build my PC with AI panel on the Netcodex PC Builder, with Dex's greeting and the Chat with Dex button

Type your build the way you would say it, or tap one of the examples to begin: ₱50k gaming PC, ₱35k for office and school, ₱80k for video editing, or a white build for ₱70k.

The Describe your build to Dex box, with example requests such as P50k gaming PC and White build, P70k

Dex and the AI form

Dex and the AI form sit in the same panel and use the same build engine and compatibility checks, so use whichever suits you. Chat if you would rather describe the PC in your own words; answer the form if you like to tick options.

While you chat, the form folds away under or answer the form. Tap that line to open it again.
Built with the form? After Generate my build, you can keep going with Dex: ask what it thinks of the build, why it picked a part, or to change something. Dex works with the build in your builder, whether it came from the form, from Dex, or from parts you picked yourself.
When Dex builds, your form answers stay as you left them.
Anything on the form you can also just tell Dex: your screen (1080p, 1440p or 4K), black or white, RGB or no RGB, processor or graphics brand, a single-brand build, parts you already have, and extras like a monitor or keyboard.

Not sure about your budget? Ask what a build costs

Ask something like “how much for a 1440p build for Red Dead?” Dex gives the starting price for that build and a stronger option, then offers to show the parts. Budget buttons appear under the answer, so you can set a budget in one tap.

See the parts, and why Dex picked each one

Tap Show the parts or See it in the builder. Dex puts the build in the builder, and every part gets a short “Why this part” line. The builder then runs its compatibility checks: socket and memory, the graphics card’s length against the case, the cooler’s height, and the power supply against the whole build’s power.

Change anything by asking

Talk to Dex like you would talk to a builder. A few things you can say:

“Mas malakas” or “Mas mura”, or tap Stronger or Cheaper.
“Make it an RTX 50 series GPU”. Dex swaps the card, changes the case or power supply if the new card needs it, and tells you how much the total changed.
“Bring it under ₱70k”. Dex fits the build to the budget you give.
“Ayoko ng RGB” or “white build”. If you say no RGB without a colour, Dex asks whether you want black or white.
A part or spec you want: “2TB Gen4 SSD”, “850W Gold power supply”, a model name, or a brand you would rather skip. If Dex is not sure which model you mean, it asks before it changes anything.
“Balik tayo sa unang build”. Dex remembers the builds in your chat, so you can go back to an earlier one.

Every change has an Undo, and Dex says plainly when something you asked for does not fit the rest of the build.

Tell Dex what you already have

Keeping your own parts? Say so, for example “Meron na akong 16GB DDR4 at 1TB SSD”. Dex leaves them out and spends your budget on the rest of the build.

Ask about parts in our catalogue

Ask “How much is a Platinum power supply?” or “Cheapest 27-inch 165Hz monitor under ₱12,000?” and Dex lists what we have with prices. Say “add it” to put one in your build. If a part cannot be ordered on our site right now, Dex says so and points you to the Restock & Price Alerts box on the product page, so you get an email when it can be ordered again or drops to your target price.

You can also ask comparison questions, such as whether a processor will hold back a graphics card. Dex answers in plain words.

Ask Dex about the store

Dex also answers customer service questions, using the same information as our FAQ and policy pages:

where our showroom is and when it is open
payment options and installments
delivery areas, delivery times and courier insurance
warranty, returns and cancellations
quotations, price changes and price matching
how assembly, stress testing and the photos before release work
trade-ins and privacy

For exact installment terms or anything Dex cannot confirm, it points you to our team.

Talk to a person anytime

Ask Dex for a person and a Chat with us on Messenger button shows under its reply. It copies your build so you can paste it straight into the chat. You can also tap Ask our builders to send your build code for a second look, or Save build, Share build and Quotation PDF to keep it.

Questions about Dex

Is Dex free?

Yes. Dex is free to use, and so is the PC Builder.

Which languages does Dex understand?

Why does Dex say a part cannot be ordered right now?

Many parts come through our supplier network. When a part cannot be ordered on our site, Dex will not put it in your build. Use Restock & Price Alerts on the product page to get an email when it can be ordered again.

I’d rather not chat. Can I still use the AI?

Yes. Use the AI form under “or answer the form”, follow the step-by-step guide, or tap Pick my own parts.
