# Quick start

> Build and preview your first Mythex app in about ten minutes.

# Quick start

A short path from zero to a running preview.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up and verify">
    Open [mythex.ai/signup](https://mythex.ai/signup), create an account (email or Google), and **verify your email** if prompted — the agent will not run until the account is verified.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe an app">
    From the dashboard, enter a concrete prompt, for example:

    > Create a modern landing page for an AI scheduling tool called Northbook. Include a hero, 3 features, pricing teaser, and an email waitlist form stored in the project database.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch the agent">
    Stay on the workspace while the agent edits files and installs packages. Prefer specific follow-ups over restarting from scratch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click around Preview">
    Open Preview and test the happy path (navigation, form, responsive layout).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Iterate once">
    Ask for one focused change (“tighten spacing”, “add testimonials”, “wire the form to store emails”).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional — publish">
    Verify email if needed, open Publish, choose a slug, deploy. See [How to publish](/publish/how-to-publish).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips for a clean first run

* One clear product idea beats a vague “build me a startup”
* Mention stack preferences only if you care (“Next.js”, “simple static HTML”)
* If the agent stalls, say what failed and what you see in Preview
