When someone rates us 3 stars or lower, immediately send a Slack alert to our manager so we can follow up personally. Store all feedback in a dashboard where we can see trends and respond to individual reviews."❌ Too Vague:
"I need a feedback form"Step 3: Let Genesis Build (1 minute)
Paste your description into the prompt box
Press Enter and watch Genesis work
See the magic happen - Genesis creates all components automatically
You'll see Genesis building:
