When someone books, automatically send them a confirmation email and add the appointment to my Google Calendar." ``` {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Submit and Watch Magic Happen Click submit or press Enter—Genesis analyzes your request and starts building {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Review Your Live App Genesis creates an app tile—click it to see your working application in the Preview tab {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Test and Share Try the app as a real user, then share the URL with customers or team members {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} **Incredible!** You just built and deployed a complete business application! ## What Apps Can You Build?
