This quickstart shows the “Describe your app” path. If you already have data in Google Sheets, HubSpot, or another tool, check out Build from data for a guided experience that starts from your existing data.

​
Create your first app

Let’s build a simple deal tracker to see Gainable in action. This will take about 5 minutes.

​
Step 1: Start a new project

  1. Go to build.gainable.dev

​
Step 2: Describe what you want

In the input box, type your first prompt:
Being specific about your fields (like “deal name, company, and amount”) helps Gainable create exactly what you need.

​
Step 3: Watch it build

Gainable will show you a plan of what it’s going to build, and if you choose to accept it will generate your entire application. You’ll see:
  1. Plan preview - What features will be created; if Gainable finds the request ambiguous it will ask follow-up questions
  2. Build progress - Watch the build being generated
  3. Your app - A working application appears in the preview panel with a message telling you what’s been done

​
Step 4: Use your app

Once the build completes, you can:
  • Add a deal - Click the “Add Deal” button and fill in the form
  • View your dashboard - See your data visualized in charts
  • Edit or delete - Click on any deal to modify it
Your app updates in real-time. If you add a deal, the dashboard chart updates automatically.

​
Try adding a feature

Now let’s add something new. In the chat, type:
Gainable shows you a plan first. Accept it, and the kanban board is added to your existing app, preserving everything you’ve already built.
Changing an app follows different rules from building one — name the page you mean, keep each request to one change, and read the plan before accepting. See Changing a built app.

​
Tips for success

Instead of “track customers”, say “track customers with name, email, company, and signup date”
If things are connected, say so: “each project has many tasks” or “contacts belong to companies”
Start simple and add features one at a time. Don’t try to build everything in one prompt.
Ask for specific features: “add a pie chart”, “add a kanban board”, “add real-time updates”
