Use Forge to build your first app from a description

Describe an app in plain English, watch Forge scaffold the project, and deploy it live — no prior coding experience required.


1

Open Forge from your dashboard

Click Forge in the product navigation. You'll land on the Forge workspace — a split view with an AI chat panel on the left and a live preview on the right.

2

Describe your app

In the chat panel, type a plain-language description of what you want to build. Be as specific as you like: "A task manager with a Kanban board, due dates, and the ability to assign tasks to team members." Then press Enter.

The more detail you provide upfront, the closer the first scaffold is to what you want. You can always refine later.
3

Review the scaffold

Forge will generate a project structure, database schema, and starter UI. The live preview updates in real time. Click through the preview to see how it feels. Forge automatically creates a checkpoint here so you can always roll back.

4

Iterate with Agent mode

To make changes, describe what you want to adjust in the chat: "Add a priority field to each task" or "Make the sidebar collapsible." Forge's Agent mode will update the code and refresh the preview automatically.

Use Plan mode for larger structural changes — it shows you what it intends to do before writing any code, so you can approve or redirect.
5

Deploy your app

When you're happy with the result, click Deploy in the top toolbar. Choose your target (Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, or your own server), connect your account if prompted, and click Confirm. Your app will be live on a public URL within seconds.
