Smart Use Cases
Tell Rocket what you’re building, so it can shape the perfect starting point.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Pick the most fitting use case for your app idea.
- Understand how Rocket tailors results based on your choice.
- Get a cleaner, faster, more focused starting point.
Before you begin
- A clear sense of what you want to build (even a rough idea works!).
Pick a use case to shape your build
Right at the top of the chat panel, Rocket asks what you’re building:
Web App, Mobile App, Internal Tool, Dashboard, Website, or Landing Page.
This quick choice sets the stage for smarter defaults because Rocket uses it to structure your project in a way that fits your goal from the start.
Why it matters
Rocket uses your selected use case to:
- Focus on layout patterns that match your target platform.
- Suggest the right flow and components for your audience.
- Skip generic guesses and jump straight into useful scaffolding.
Success check: Your project opens with a structure that feels instantly relevant—less cleanup, more momentum.
Use case benefits at a glance
| Use Case | What Rocket Prioritizes |
|---|---|
| Web App | Auth flows, multi-page nav, responsive desktop design. |
| Mobile App | Touch-optimized UI, swipeable views, bottom nav. |
| Internal Tool | Tables, filters, access control, speed-focused UI. |
| Dashboard | Charts, metrics, insights-first layouts. |
| Website | Scrollable sections, content hierarchy, SEO-ready code. |
| Landing Page | Conversion blocks, CTAs, email capture, single-page design. |
Each one comes with a structure that matches real-world needs - so you’re not starting from scratch or retrofitting later.
Real-world example: Mobile App vs. Dashboard

- To showcase your products and bring in new customers
- Or to track real-time store performance and make data-driven decisions.
Same starting idea. Different outcomes. Both tailored for success.
