Quick start

Go from a signed-in account to a priced proposal and a free Blueprint preview in about ten minutes.

This is the shortest path from a signed-in account to a priced proposal and a free Blueprint preview.

  1. 1

    Create an account and an organization

    Sign up, verify the email, then create or join an organization. Brazil pays in BRL; every other country pays in USD.

  2. 2

    Open a new project

    Go to /app/new. The thread is blank until you send the first message. That message creates the project and moves you to /app/p/<id>.

  3. 3

    Describe the work

    Write what you need as if you were briefing a tech lead. Name the users, the systems, the outcome, and paste the links of the products you want it to look and behave like. See Write a great first brief.

  4. 4

    Answer the discovery

    Citeaxis reads your links, then asks only what the brief and the references leave open, in one to three rounds. Each question says why it matters. See How the discovery works.

  5. 5

    Confirm the summary

    A card sums up what will be built: objective, users, flows, screens, integrations, infrastructure, security, acceptance. Confirm it, or ask for a change.

  6. 6

    Read the proposal and the first version

    Two things run in parallel: the Quote Manager writes Core / Recommended / Complete with a 12-month ROI, and the complete first version of the Blueprint appears on the right, verified in the sandbox and checked by the design QA. The preview is free. The zip stays locked.
