+
+## Introduction
+
+You can use a starter app as the basis for Maia Plan to build a project plan. This allows you to use the right branding elements, pre-installed Marketplace modules, and pre-installed integrations.
+
+## Creating an App
+
+Follow these steps to have Maia create a project plan based on a starter app:
+
+1. In **Projects**, click **Create App** in the upper right corner.
+
+2. Select **Agentic Planning**. The **Plan & Build with Maia** window is displayed.
+
+3. Click **Select Starter App**. The **Select Starter App** window is displayed, listing available starter apps. You can search by name or filter by app type (Company-Approved, Public, Private).    
+    If a starter app is not compatible with the minimum Studio Pro version required to use this feature, which is 11.11.0, a label is displayed. You can hover over the app's card and click **Request Upgrade**. This takes you to the component's Marketplace page, where you can upgrade as necessary.
+
+4. Hover over the card of the app that you want to use and click **Select**. You are taken back to the **Plan & Build with Maia** window, where the selected starter app is displayed. If needed, you can remove the app from here and start over.
+
+5. Click **Generate Plan**. This starts the project creation flow. The starter app that's used for the project is displayed in the top bar of the window, just under the project's name.
+
+6. Define the project scope as described in [Defining the Scope](/developerportal/maia-plan/define-scope/). With starter apps, Maia brings in all existing information to the **Define Scope** window.
+
+7. Turn the project scope into a concrete plan, as described in [Generating the Plan](/developerportal/maia-plan/generate-plan/). The side panel displays the resources which are being used from the starter app.
+
+8. Select your project management tool and send your project plan to Maia Make, as described in [Starting the Development](/developerportal/maia-plan/start-development/).
