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

You’ll need:
  • 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.
