Quickstart: ship your first app
LaunchPulse is built to take you from idea to working product fast. This quickstart gives you a reliable first run so you can ship confidently, not just experiment.Estimated time: 4-7 minutes for your first working build.
Before you begin
- Pick one goal for v1 (for example: “users can sign up and complete one core task”)
- Decide your first platform: Web App or Mobile App
- Prepare a short prompt with target user, core problem, and must-have features
- Keep scope tight: 3-5 features for your first build
What you’ll build
By the end of this guide, you’ll have:- A new LaunchPulse project
- A generated build plan and feature list
- A first app build preview
- A clear iteration prompt for your next improvement
Step-by-step
1
1) Create a new project
Open Projects Dashboard and create a project. Name it after the user problem, not the tech stack.

2) Choose platform and build mode
Select Web App or Mobile App. For first-time users, start with Autonomous AI Software Engineer.

3) Paste your first prompt

4) Review your generated plan
Remove non-essential features, reorder priorities, and confirm your MVP scope before build starts.

5) Approve and run build
LaunchPulse executes your approved plan and prepares a preview.

6) Validate one end-to-end flow
Test one full user journey first (signup → main action → confirmation).

7) Iterate with one focused prompt
Ask for one meaningful improvement at a time for cleaner, faster iterations.
