Create an app

Go from an idea to a working application in the App Builder.

Create an app from the Dashboard prompt. Then review it in App Builder, refine it, and publish it.

Prerequisites

You need access to a Qore workspace and a rough idea of what to build. You can also start from a template.

Steps

1

Start from the Dashboard prompt

On the Dashboard, use the chat prompt box. Make sure the App tab (below the box) is selected — not Agent.

Set your options

Set the following options:

  • Target: Choose Web or Mobile (Beta).

  • Model: Choose a model, such as Gemini 3 Flash.

  • Mode: Leave this on Build. Use Plan first to align on logic. See Plan Mode vs Build Mode.

  • Assets: Use the + menu to Attach File or Import App Package.

  • Branding: Use the branding icon to set colors and logos.

Describe the app and submit

Describe what you want to build. For example: "Create a Web app for Loan Lead Capture with an email input and submit button." Press the send arrow or Enter.

Shortcut: click a template card instead of writing a prompt to have the platform draft the requirements for you.

4

Wait for the environment to spin up

The platform shows "Spinning up Application Environment". It creates and auto-names the app, such as Loan Lead Capture Pro. Then it opens the app in the App Builder workspace.

5

Watch it build, and answer any prompts

The left panel streams the build:

  • It shows Application initialized ✓, then the components and steps.

  • The build may pause for a decision.

  • For example, Select Provider offers Uptiq Managed Database [Recommended] or Supabase for a database.

  • Approve or Skip the choice in the left chat to continue.

Preview and refine

When the build finishes, open Preview to view the running app. To make changes, enter a follow-up prompt in "Describe the changes you want…". Use Code to inspect generated code. Use Version History to roll back.

7

Publish

Use the Publish dropdown at the top-right to publish the app. App Config holds app-level settings.

Verify

Your app is ready when the Preview reflects your requirements and responds to input. After publishing, confirm it's reachable from its published location.

Common issues

  • My app started building before I finished planning. Build Mode generates on every prompt. Use Plan Mode first to align.

  • The build seems stuck. Check the left chat for an "Agent is waiting for your input" step. For example, choose a provider. Approve or Skip it.

  • The generated layout isn't right. Don't rebuild — send a follow-up prompt in "Describe the changes you want…".
