In this guide you’ll turn a plain-language prompt into a working design, click through it, and try a few variations. No design experience needed. You steer by saying what you like.
1

Create a design

Go to your dashboard, click Create, and choose Design. A prompt box opens where your design starts.

Have a screenshot of something close to what you want? Attach it to your prompt. The models are good at recreating designs from images, and it gives the AI a strong starting point.
2

Describe what you want

Write your prompt like you’d brief a designer: what it is, who it’s for, and the feel you’re after. For example: “A dashboard for a dog-walking business that shows today’s walks, earnings this week, and a map of routes. Friendly and clean.” Then submit.

Watch it build

The agent reports its progress in the chat as it works. When it finishes, your design opens in Preview.

Click through your design

The preview is a working website, so buttons, tabs, and forms respond. If the AI made more than one page, open the Screens tab to see them all side by side.

Explore and refine

Type /Inspiration in the chat to get four variations of your design to compare. To change one specific thing, turn on Select Mode (⌥ + S), click the element, and describe the change. Every prompt saves a new version, so you can always go back.
