Build a product with the Magic Box
Turn a one-sentence idea, your website, a social profile or a few keywords into a drafted product with the Magic Box, and know what each message from the builder means.
The Magic Box builds a product from a short description: its name, structure, a draft offer and a checkout. You add the content and publish. This page covers the ways to feed it an idea, including when you do not have one yet, and what the builder tells you along the way.
Where the Magic Box is
| Screen | How to get there |
|---|---|
| The welcome screen | /welcome, shown right after sign-up with the greeting Hi! Let's build your first product. |
| The product creation screen | Products (/products) → Create product → Generate with AI (/products/new). |
| A creation screen for one type | The Create product button on a typed list, for example Courses (/courses/new). The product type is then fixed. |
Start from an idea
Describe the product
Type one or two sentences into Describe your product idea… and say what you want to teach or
sell and for whom. You can also click the microphone and say it; Listening… shows while you
talk and Enter stops the recording. The description can be up to 4,000 characters.
Click Create
Click Create. A full-screen animation runs while the idea is checked and the product is built, and ends with Ready! Meet your new product showing the cover and the name. You land in the editor of the new product, which is a Draft with a draft checkout.
Continue with the Assistant
On the new product the Assistant opens by itself with Your draft is ready! ✨, says what was built, and offers next steps as buttons, such as Help me fill in the first lesson, Polish my offer copy or Help me set the price. The Magic Box builds the product itself, not its content: lessons, files and texts are yours to add, and the Assistant can draft them with you.
Start without an idea
| Starting point | What to do |
|---|---|
| A ready-made template | Under No idea? Start from a ready-made template: click a card; its text lands in the box for you to adjust. Show me other ideas shows another set. |
| Your website | Click Have a website? Start from it - I'll suggest products →, paste the address and click Analyze. After Analyzing your website you get a pill with the site name and cards under Ideas from your site:. |
| A social profile | Paste a link to your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or LinkedIn profile into the same field. The cards appear under, for example, Ideas from your Instagram:. |
| A few keywords | Type keywords instead of an address, for example "yoga for busy moms", and click Analyze. After Finding ideas for you the cards appear under Ideas for you:. |
| One word in the idea box | A single word is too little to build from. The box answers with a hint and the link Show ideas for this topic →, which turns the word into idea cards. |
Click an idea card to put its text into the box, change it if you like, and click Create.
Work with your idea sources
- More ideas adds new cards below the existing ones; no card is repeated.
- Add a source analyzes another website, profile or set of keywords. Each source gets its own pill; click a pill to see its ideas.
- Your sources are saved. When you open a creation screen later, the pills come back (you may briefly see Restoring your saved ideas…) and the ideas are matched to the product type of that screen.
- To remove a source from the list, use Remove site on its pill. Hide this site? explains that it stays saved and can be analyzed again at any time.
- If you paste a web address into the idea box and click Create, the Magic Box treats it as a source and analyzes it; it does not build a product from the raw link.
What the builder may tell you
| Message | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Let's refine your idea | The text was not recognized as a product idea. | Edit my description and say what you want to sell or teach. |
| That sounds like a question | You asked for advice; the Magic Box only builds products. | Ask [name] hands the question to the Assistant. |
| Quick check | On a typed screen the idea reads like a different product type, for example a community on the course screen. | Choose Create [suggested type] or Keep [current type]. |
| I can't create that product | The idea falls outside what can be generated. | Describe a different product. |
| Quick breather | You generated a lot in a short time. | Wait a moment and click Try again. |
| You're out of AI credits | The account has no AI credits left. | Top up credits opens Settings → Usage. |
| Something went wrong | The product could not be generated this time. | Click Try again. |
Starting from the Zanfia home page
If you typed an idea into the box on the Zanfia website before you had an account, the idea travels with you. After you sign up you land on the welcome screen with the idea already in the box and start the build with Create. If you pasted a website address instead, you land on Let's build from your website. with the address filled in and an Analyze button. The idea is used up when the build starts, not when you look at it: if you close the tab before clicking Create, it is still in the box when you come back, for up to 24 hours.
Good to know
The product is written in the language your dashboard is set to. Prefer to set everything up by hand? Prefer the classic way? Create a product → opens the two-step wizard described in Launch your first product. Building a product, analyzing a source and asking for more ideas all use AI credits; see AI credits.
