You will now see several components:

1. **Prompt Field**
2. **Custom Feature Selector**
3. **Recharge Option**&#x20;
4. **Balance Display** ( *Paid Feature* )&#x20;
5. Model Selector
6. Forge Button&#x20;

#### 1. Prompt Field

This is where the prompt goes. Type instructions or keywords here for the AI model to use when creating your application.

#### 2. **Custom Feature Selector**

This is a dedicated space where you can seamlessly integrate tested APIs into your apps.

Some of the available APIs include:

* Token Price API
* News API
* Stock Market API
* Google Maps API

You can also activate the "Auto" mode, where our AI intelligently selects the most suitable APIs for your app.

Additionally, the Multiplier API enables you to create multiplayer games or applications, all powered by Alchemist AI.

#### 3. Recharge Option&#x20;

Recharging your account will fund your Alchemist wallet, giving you access to the power of premium generation models.

#### 4. Balance Display&#x20;

In paid mode, this will display the amount of `$ALCH` you hold in your wallet.

#### 5. Model Selector&#x20;

By clicking this selector, you can switch between normal mode (unpaid, quick) and paid mode (paid, slower but far more intelligent).

#### 6. Forge Button

This button sends your instructions to Alchemist AI for processing, allowing it to generate your app, which you'll find on the desktop.

### Your First Application:

Let's delve then into making our first simple application on Alchemist AI!

Firstly type in the prompt field - "Snake Game"&#x20;

Then we simply click on "**FORGE**"

The app will then begin the generation process, progressing through four stages: Loading, Generating Graphics, Generating Logic, and Reviewing. Each stage is powered by a different model, handling a unique aspect of the process.

Finally, your app will be ready on the desktop. Double-clicking it will open the app for use.

Once the process is complete, the app will be fully playable.
