How to Build an App with Genesis

Step 1: Describe Your Need

Write a natural language description of what you want. The more specific your prompt, the better the result.

"Build a customer feedback portal where clients rate their experience on a 1-5 scale, leave comments, and upload screenshots. Route negative feedback (1-2 stars) to the support team via Slack. Send a thank-you email after each submission. Show me a dashboard with average ratings by week."

Step 2: Genesis Builds It

Genesis creates the complete application: forms, database, AI agent, automations, notifications, and analytics dashboard โ€” all connected and functional.

Step 3: Refine Through Conversation

Talk to your app to make changes. "Add a field for the customer's order number" or "Change the rating scale to emojis instead of numbers."

Step 4: Publish and Share

Your app gets a live URL instantly. Add a custom domain, set password protection, or publish to the Community Gallery for others to discover.
