Quickstart

Build your first project with PlutoAI, from creating a project to reviewing your first result

Each step below builds on the last, so follow them in order.

1. Create a project

Sign in to PlutoAI and create a new project.

Choose a name that clearly identifies the project. If you already have an existing project, use the appropriate existing project workflow instead.

2. Describe what you want to build

Start with the outcome rather than explaining every implementation detail.

For example:

Build a SaaS dashboard where users can sign up, create projects, invite
teammates, and view their usage.

You can include additional requirements such as the visual style, user roles, integrations, or technical requirements.

The more important the requirement, the more clearly you should state it.

3. Let PlutoAI work on the project

PlutoAI's AI software engineer analyzes your request and works through the required development tasks.

Depending on the request, this may involve creating files, modifying existing code, running development commands, and working with connected services.

4. Review the result

Review the application and the changes made by PlutoAI.

Check the functionality you requested and make sure the result matches your requirements.

If something needs to change, describe the change and continue working on the same project.

For example:

Keep the current dashboard layout, but add filtering by project status.

5. Test your application

Test the important user flows before deploying.

For example, if your application includes authentication, verify that users can sign up, sign in, sign out, and access the correct parts of the application.

For production software, perform appropriate testing and security review before releasing it to users.

6. Continue building

Your project can continue evolving after the first build.

You can add features, change existing functionality, fix bugs, connect services, and prepare the application for deployment.
