Chapter 2 of 7

Start with an idea and let Rumata prepare your workspace.

Start with a prompt

Describe the application you want to create in your own words.

On Home (opens in a new tab), select the large prompt box. The Send arrow beside it submits the prompt.

Write your idea in the prompt box. The arrow on the right sends your prompt.

Explain who the app is for, the main task they should accomplish, and the essential features for a first version. Press Shift + Return to add another line.

Optional wording you can adapt:

text
Build an app for [audience] to [main task]. Start with [essential features]. It should [important behavior or constraints]. Plan the first version before building it and ask about anything unclear.

Your project is selected automatically

Every factory is created within a project. Rumata selects the project automatically for you.

Keep the first request in Plan modePlan mode control

Review Rumata’s approach before building begins.

On Home, find the Plan or Build toggle beside Select project. Selecting it changes the mode directly.

Keep Plan selected for your first application. If the toggle shows Build, select it to switch to Plan.

Add useful context

Include the details that matter to your application.

Add your requirements to the Home (opens in a new tab) prompt. You can attach files to this first prompt too, such as a specification, reference image, or supporting document.

Describe your requirements and attach any files you want Rumata to use as context before sending your first prompt.

Create the factory and submit your prompt

Check your prompt and selected project before sending.

Use the Send arrow to submit your prompt. It becomes available once the required input is complete and Rumata is ready.

  1. Check the project, Plan mode, and prompt text.
  2. Select Send once and wait for the factory workspace to open.
  3. Check the conversation for your submitted message; typing text without sending it does not start a build.
During startup, Rumata prepares the workspace before the preview becomes usable. Wait for the chat and preview to connect.
