EP-Launch is to the OpenStudio App as a PDF viewer is to a PowerPoint slide deck.

EP-Launch is not intended to build models, although you can make edits to a model with the .idf editor in EP-Launch. You generally need some other software tool to build the model. The OpenStudio App is one such option. There are many other EnergyPlus interfaces that can generate an .idf that you can run with EP-Launch, just as there are many softwares that can make .pdf files.
