From a Concept to a Live App
Getting your app off the ground is really simple. Follow these four steps to transform any challenge into a working solution that works out of the box.
Step 1: Start with Your Idea
The best apps solve real problems in your business. Before you even open Genesis, think about what's slowing you down or what could work better.
Ask yourself:
What manual process takes too much time?
Where do I lose track of important information?
What would make my customers' experience smoother?
Which tasks could my team handle more efficiently?
Do you already have your answers? Great! Let's move to the next step.
💡 Note: Visit A Maker's Guide to AI Prompts for starter ideas.
Step 2: Let Taskade Genesis Build It
When you first open Genesis, you'll see a text area where you can describe what you want to create. The more specific you are, the better the result.
You have a few options here:
1) Start from scratch: Type your idea in the prompt field.
2) Browse prompt library/templates: Choose from hundreds of proven prompts.
3) Upload context: Click the upload icon (📎) to add reference materials.
4) Choose a creation mode:
Genesis: Build a complete living app (default).
Project: Focus on creating and managing projects.
Agents: Prioritize creating and managing AI agents.
Automation: Create and focus on automation workflows.
💡 Note: You can select different AI models based on your app's complexity and requirements. Watch our Video Guide to AI Models to learn more.
Step 3: Test and Iterate
Once Genesis builds your initial app, you'll see it come to life with all the professional features you need. But this is just the beginning. Now you can refine it.
Switch to the Preview tab to interact with your live application.
Test the core functionality:
Navigate through the user flow as your customers would
Try submitting forms and entering data
Check how it looks on your phone or tablet
Verify that notifications and automations work as expected
Now make it uniquely yours.
Making changes is simple. Just describe what you want to adjust in the chat on the left. Genesis understands natural language and implements changes immediately.
"Send notifications to our team Slack channel."
Match your brand:
"Use our company colors." or "Make the logo more prominent."
Fine-tune the experience:
"Add a confirmation message after submission" or "Include progress indicators for multi-step processes."
Adjust permissions:
"Only team leads should access the analytics dashboard." or "Let clients edit their own information."
💡 Pro tip: Make one change at a time and test it before moving to the next. This way you can see exactly how each modification improves the user experience.
Step 4: Share It!
Your app is ready for the real world! You've built something that solves a real business problem, and now it's time to put it in front of actual users.
💡 Note: Visit Publish and Clone Your Apps to learn more.
Getting it live is simple:
Open Publish: Click the Publish button in the top-right.
Set visibility: Choose Private, Secret (link only), or Public.
Share a link, embed the app, or publish to community (scroll down for details).
Congratulations! Your app is instantly available and others can interact with it. 🥳
