How to use Luminax · Start here

Your first app, end to end

Nine minutes from a blank prompt to a live URL someone else can open.

Luminax builds software by conversation. You describe the thing; an agent plans it, writes it, runs it in a real sandbox, looks at the result with its own eyes, and fixes what it got wrong. This page is the whole loop, in order, with nothing skipped.

The composer on the home page — the fastest way in. Type the first sentence and the project is created around it.

The nine-minute path

  1. 1
    Write one honest sentence

    Say what the product is and who it is for before you say how it should look. "A booking page for a two-chair barbershop, with deposit payments" beats "a modern responsive site" every time.

  2. 2
    Let the project prime

    While you are still reading your own sentence, Luminax has already created the project row, cloned the starter repository, and opened a sandbox. There is no build step for you to wait on.

  3. 3
    Watch the agent plan

    The first reply opens with a short plan: what it will build, what it will defer. Read it. Correcting a plan costs one sentence; correcting a finished app costs an afternoon.

  4. 4
    Let the tool calls stream

    File writes, reads, searches, browser captures and image generation all appear as live cards. You can leave the page — the run belongs to the server, not your tab.

  5. 5
    Look at the preview

    The preview panel boots the real app, not a screenshot. Click through it while the agent is still working.

  6. 6
    Correct in small strokes

    One change per message lands cleaner than five. "Make the hero calmer and drop the second CTA" is fine; a twelve-item list is a queue, not a message.

  7. 7
    Add the backend when you need it

    Ask for accounts, a database table, or file uploads and Cloud is provisioned in place — tables, row-level policies and grants written for you.

  8. 8
    Publish

    Publishing gives you a public address immediately. Attach your own domain whenever you like; the old address keeps working.

Loop
What the composer does as you type: the field grows to fit the thought instead of scrolling it away.

What to do when it goes sideways

  • Preview blank? Open the details panel and read the last tool call — nine times out of ten it names the file it broke.
  • Reply feels generic? You under-specified. Add the constraint you were holding in your head.
  • Wrong direction entirely? Roll back to any earlier state instead of arguing your way forward.
  • Stuck mid-run? Pause. The transcript is durable; nothing you have already seen is lost.

Start with one sentence. You can rewrite the whole thing later.
