# How to create a new app?

Learn how to create a new app in ZBrain by defining app access, choosing orchestration methods, and configuring basic details like name and description.

### **1. Create a new app** <a href="#id-1.-create-a-new-app" id="id-1.-create-a-new-app"></a>

* Begin by accessing your platform's dashboard. Locate the Apps page from the main menu to manage existing apps or create new ones. To start the app creation process, click the ‘Create’ button displayed in the top right corner of the Apps page.

* Determine who will have access to your app:
  * **Public app:** Accessible to anyone with the link. Best suited for apps intended for general use or wide public distribution.
  * **Private app:** Access is restricted to authorized users only. Ideal for internal teams and controlled environments.
* Choose an orchestration method from the following options:
  * **Knowledge base (Basic)**: In this method, the application relies on the provided knowledge base to answer queries. This is a straightforward method using pre-existing information.
  * **Flow (Advance)**: This method allows you to use custom Flows for handling queries, allowing more complex interactions and processes. This option is ideal for advanced users who need specific logic and sequences.
  * **Agent Crew (Advance):** This method enables multiple specialized agents to work together dynamically to handle complex tasks. It’s ideal for applications that require collaboration between agents with different expertise for richer, more adaptive responses.
* Next, enter a unique name for your application and provide a description if desired. This name and description help identify the app and can be changed later if needed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.zbrain.ai/zbrain-documentation/zbrain-builder/app/how-to-create-a-new-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
