Getting Started with Criei: Your First AI-Generated Design

Welcome to criei.ai

Criei makes it easy to go from an idea to a polished design in seconds. Whether you're building a mobile app, a landing page, or an ad campaign, the AI handles the heavy lifting while you stay in creative control.

Step 1: Create a Project

After signing in, head to your dashboard and click New Project. Give it a name and select the format you want — mobile app, web app, landing page, or any of our other supported types.

Each format comes with its own canvas, frame chrome, and layout engine optimized for that medium.

Step 2: Write Your First Prompt

The key to great results is a clear, descriptive prompt. Instead of:

"Make me an app"

Try something like:

"A fitness tracking app with dark mode, workout logs, progress charts, and social features"

The more specific you are about features, style, and purpose, the better the AI can deliver.

Step 3: Watch the Magic Happen

Once you hit Enter, the AI creates a plan and starts generating screens one by one. You'll see them stream onto your canvas in real-time — no waiting for a batch to finish.

Step 4: Iterate and Refine

Click any screen to select it, then describe changes in the chat:

  • "Make the header blue"
  • "Add a testimonials section"
  • "Use a two-column layout"

Each edit regenerates just that screen, keeping everything else intact. One credit per edit.

Step 5: Export

When you're happy with the result, export individual screens or the entire project as PNG files. Every design includes a commercial license, so you can use them anywhere.
