{"slug":"start-a-project","title":"Start a project","summary":"Four ways to begin: describe the app, answer a short guided brief, fork a template, or import a Figma flow. Each creates a project in the current organization.","body":"The first time you sign in, the first-run page is the only step before a project exists. Later, start new apps from the dashboard.\n\n## Choose a starting point\n\n| Start from | Best when | Spends credits |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| **A description** | You know what the app does and want the assistant to design it. | Yes, for generation |\n| **A guided brief** | You have an idea but not the words. Pick a category, the job the app does, and a visual direction. | Yes, for generation |\n| **A template** | A complete app close to yours already exists in the catalog. | No |\n| **A Figma flow** | The screens are already designed. | Yes, for generation |\n\n## Describe it\n\nWrite who the app is for, what they do, and which screens matter. A prompt you typed on the marketing site before signing up is waiting on this page. See [Write better prompts](/docs/writing-prompts) for examples.\n\n## Answer a few questions\n\nThe guided brief asks what the app is for, how you want to start, and which visual direction you like. Your answers pick the examples and templates you see and become the brief the assistant builds from.\n\n## Fork a template\n\nChoose a published template. A free template forks immediately. A paid template unlocks once for the organization, then forks. You name the app and pick the organization that owns it. See [Templates](/docs/templates).\n\n## Import a Figma flow\n\nOpen a project, then use **Import from Figma** in the chat box. Paste a frame link or sync the file with the plugin, confirm the screens, and ask the assistant to build them. See [Import from Figma](/docs/figma).\n\n## After the project opens\n\nThe assistant names the app from the brief. Rename it from the project bar. Follow-up messages stay in that project. A new description on the dashboard starts another app.\n\n> [!NOTE]\n> The plan limits how many projects can be active in the organization. Starting a project from any of these paths counts toward it.","sectionSlug":"get-started","sectionTitle":"Get started","updatedAt":"2026-09-23T22:51:25.250Z","previous":{"slug":"how-it-works","title":"How FluxNative works"},"next":{"slug":"the-workspace","title":"Tour the workspace"}}
