# Quick start

This is the fastest path from nothing to a running app — about 5 minutes.

## 1. Sign in

Open [genvibe.pro](https://genvibe.pro) and sign in with your Google account. It's free, and you get starter credits to build with right away.

## 2. Describe your app

In the prompt box on the home screen, type what you want to build. Be specific about the kind of app and its main features. For example:

> Build a personal finance tracker with a dashboard, a form to add expenses, and a chart showing spending by category.

Before you send, you can optionally use the controls in the prompt box:

* **Web / Mobile** — pick whether you're building a web app or a mobile app.
* **Build / Plan** — leave it on **Build** to start right away, or switch to **Plan** to have GenVibe ask a few questions and outline a plan before it builds (see [Plan mode](/features/plan-mode.md)).

Press **Enter** (or click the send button) to start.

{% hint style="success" %}
You don't need to know any framework names or technical terms. Just describe the app the way you'd explain it to a friend.
{% endhint %}

## 3. Watch it build

GenVibe streams the app into the **workbench**: you'll see files being written on the left and a **live preview** rendering on the right as the app comes together. This usually takes under a minute for a first build.

## 4. Refine it by chatting

Once it's running, just keep talking to it. Each message updates the app:

> Add a dark mode toggle in the header.

> Make the chart a pie chart instead of bars.

> Add a delete button to each expense row.

GenVibe edits the real files and refreshes the preview.

## 5. Publish or export

When you're happy, you can:

* **Publish** in one click to a live `genvibe.app` link — or connect your own **custom domain** on a paid plan.
* **Deploy to Netlify** if you prefer to host there.
* **Export to GitHub** to take the code with you.
* **Download** the project.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.genvibe.pro/getting-started/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
