Quick Start

This page gets you from zero to a live running Laravel application as fast as possible.

1. Create an account

Sign up at LaraCopilot using email/password, Google, or GitHub. After registering you receive free credits to start building immediately.

2. Write a prompt

On the Chat screen, describe the app you want to build:

Build a task management app with user authentication, a kanban board,
and the ability to assign tasks to team members with due dates.

Tips for a good first prompt:

• Include the main features (auth, dashboard, CRUD)
• Mention specific screens or pages
• Keep it under 1,000 characters

3. Wait for generation

LaraCopilot provisions a container, generates all the Laravel code, and runs the app. A progress bar tracks four stages: Setup → Build → Configure → Launch. This takes 2–5 minutes.

4. Open your live app

When generation completes, you're taken to the IDE with a live URL in the header (e.g. https://myapp123.laracopilot.com). Click it to open your running application in a new tab.

5. Iterate

Send follow-up prompts in the IDE chat to refine your app:

Add a dark mode toggle to the navbar

Create an export to CSV button on the tasks list

Each follow-up modifies only the relevant files — your existing code is preserved.
