## The AI Chat

The primary action of AI chat is to use natural language prompts to build and refine your app. However, there are elements at the bottom of the input box to explore a bit further.

<u>Note</u>: For every prompt you enter, you can go back into the chat and click “Revert This” anytime to undo your prompt. You’ll be asked to confirm your request, and then the app will then revert to the state it was in just prior to that point.

## Building your first app: step-by-step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start with a Clear Prompt">
    Describe your app's core function in simple language.

    For example：

    ```mdx theme={null}
    Build a task manager for teams to assign, track, and complete tasks with progress reports.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate Your App Instantly">
    Lumi will automatically construct your app’s interface and backend. You can watch the process unfold live in the Preview panel.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Refine and Customize">
    Use AI Chat for broad adjustments or the [Visual Edits](/en/features/visual-edits) for fine-tuning details like colors and layout. Activate [Discuss Mode](/en/features/modes#discuss-mode) to collaborate with the AI on complex logic before implementation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test Thoroughly">
    Interact with your website in the Preview panel just as a user would, clicking through every feature to ensure it functions perfectly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share and Publish">
    Once you're ready to go live, click the "Publish" button to deploy your site and showcase it to the world.
