## End-to-end walkthrough

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Go to [transmuter.3mergen.com/signup](https://transmuter.3mergen.com/signup) and create your account using email, Google, or GitHub. After signing up, answer three quick questions so Transmuter can personalize your experience.

    <Note>
      A personal workspace is created for you automatically. You can create additional workspaces later for different projects or clients.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new project">
    From your dashboard, click **Create Project**. Give your project a name and description, then choose how to add your business plan:

    * **Upload a file** -- drag and drop a PDF, Word, Markdown, or text file
    * **Write in the editor** -- use our built-in editor with live preview
    * **Start from a template** -- choose from SaaS, Marketplace, Internal Tool, Mobile App, or E-commerce templates

    Our AI will analyze your plan and may suggest ways to strengthen it. You can accept, skip, or edit these suggestions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your technology">
    Click **Start Plan Cast** on your project page. Transmuter begins by having a friendly conversation with you about your product's technology needs. It reads your business plan, identifies any gaps, and asks a few plain-language questions.

    <Tip>
      You do not need any technical knowledge for this step. Each question comes with visual option cards and plain-language explanations. If you are unsure about something, pick the recommended option.
    </Tip>

    At the end of this conversation, Transmuter generates a technology setup tailored to your product. Review and approve it to continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your cloud accounts">
    Before building can begin, you need to connect three free cloud accounts where your product will live:

    1. **GitHub** -- where your code is stored securely
    2. **Vercel** -- what makes your product fast and available worldwide
    3. **Convex** -- your product's database and backend

    Each step includes a simple guide. If you do not have these accounts yet, Transmuter walks you through creating them -- it takes about 5 minutes total.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch your product being built">
    Once everything is connected, the building process begins. You can follow along in real time on the progress dashboard, which shows:

    * What is currently happening in plain language
    * A progress bar showing overall completion
    * Estimated time remaining

    <Note>
      Building happens in the background. You can close your browser and come back later -- Transmuter will email you when your attention is needed.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review your specifications">
    At two key checkpoints, Transmuter pauses and asks you to review what has been generated:

    1. **Product requirements** -- the detailed breakdown of what your product will do
    2. **Technical specifications** -- how the product will be structured

    Read through each section and approve, request changes, or add notes. Nothing gets built until you are satisfied with the plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy your product">
    After building and quality checks are complete, you will see a summary of your product's audit results -- security, accessibility, performance, and code quality scores.

    Click **Deploy** to launch your product. Transmuter handles everything: pushing code to GitHub, deploying to Vercel, and setting up your database. Within minutes, your product is live at a real URL.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens next?

Once your product is live, you can:

* [Monitor its health](/journeys/post-launch/monitoring-health) from the Post-Launch Hub
* [Submit feedback](/journeys/post-launch/submitting-feedback) to request changes and improvements
* [Set up a custom domain](/journeys/deploying/custom-domains) for a professional URL
* [Invite team members](/journeys/managing-account/team-members) to collaborate
