Create your first app

About 5 min

Building your first app starts with a single sentence. You describe what you want, and TatbiQ generates a complete, working web app for you.

The TatbiQ home page with the prompt box where you describe the app you want to build
Describe the app you want in the prompt box, then select Build.

Describe what you want to build

Open the home page

Sign in and go to the TatbiQ home page.

Describe your app

In the prompt box (Describe what you want to build...), type a description of the app you have in mind.

Build it

Select Build.

That is it. TatbiQ reads your description and starts generating your app. While it works, the button shows Building....

Not sure what to type?

The home page shows a set of Popular ideas to get you started, grouped by category such as ecommerce, portfolio, blog, and more. Select any idea to use it as a starting prompt, then change the wording to match what you need.

Prefer to start from an existing app? Browse the Template Hub and copy a community app into your workspace.

Write a clear prompt

The more specific your description, the closer the result will be to what you want. A good first prompt usually covers:

  • What the app is. For example, "a personal portfolio website" or "an online store for handmade candles".
  • The main pages or sections. For example, "with a home page, an about page, and a contact form".
  • Key features. For example, "a product catalog and a shopping cart".

You can keep your first prompt simple. After the app is generated, you refine it through chat, so you do not need to describe everything up front.
