  5. Log in to your new account.

Step 2: Your first web app

  1. Once logged in, click on the “Create New Project” button on the dashboard.
  2. In the project description box, clearly describe the app you want to build. For example, “A task management app with user authentication and a dashboard.”
  3. Select any additional features from the options provided, such as database integration or payment processing.
  4. Click the “Generate App” button.
  5. Wait for the AI to process your request. This may take a few moments. Once done, you will see a preview of your app.

Step 3: Get better results

  • Be specific in your project description. The more details you provide about functionalities and design, the better the output.
  • Use the feature checklist effectively. Selecting relevant features can enhance the functionality of your app.
  • Regularly check the "Templates" section for pre-built app structures that can save you time on future projects.

Pro tip

If you want to streamline your workflow, keep a template of common functionalities or features you often use. You can quickly modify this template for future projects, saving you time on descriptions.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid vague descriptions when creating your project. Phrases like “I want an app” without specifics will lead to generic results. Always include clear details about what you want your app to do.
