Two ways to get started with Cowculator
Create New
Manual creation: ideal for simple scenarios or when you already know the fields/formulas.
Create with AI
Generates a draft from your text prompt — a fast start with a structure you can refine later.
Both options follow the same 4‑step wizard; the only difference is in step 2.
Creation wizard
Step 1 — Calculator name
- What it is: an internal name to help you find the calculator in the list.
- Tips: keep it short and clear (3–60 characters), avoid extra special symbols.
- Examples: “Cleaning — 1‑room apartment”, “SaaS Pricing”, “Kitchen remodel — Light”.
Step 2 — Field structure
Option A: Choose a template (if you’re creating without AI)
Pick a template close to your use case. After creation, you can fully edit fields and formulas.
Typical templates: Cleaning, Renovation, Delivery, Photo/Video, SaaS Pricing, Education, Travel.
Option B: Prompt for AI (if you’re creating with assistance)
Describe your service and desired calculation logic. The more specific you are, the better the draft.
Prompt structure: Context → Fields → Formula/logic → Hints.
Example:
Apartment cleaning: fields — area (m²), dirt level (low/medium/high),
extra: window cleaning. Formula: base 300 + area × 1.8; high — ×1.25;
windows — 50 per unit.Step 3 — Theme (styling)
- Choose styles and colors. Affects appearance only; doesn’t limit functionality.
- PRO plan includes full brand color customization, etc.
- You can change the theme anytime in the editor.
Step 4 — Review & create
- Review the summary: name, source (template/AI prompt), theme.
- Click Create — a working draft calculator will be generated.
After creation — you can
- Edit fields, formulas, and (in Pro) conditional logic and hints.
- Save and/or publish the calculator.
- Get a short public link (e.g., for your bio link), plus iFrame code and a QR image to embed anywhere.
The calculator is ready for testing immediately after creation.
