Episode notes
Start With One Clear Feature
- Use a single clear core feature to start your app and prompt the agent with it.
- Provide API keys and documentation so the AI agent can call external services reliably.
Give The Agent API Docs
- Treat APIs as modular tech blocks and include their docs in your prompt for better agent behavior.
- Supplying the manual reduces trial-and-error and improves the generated integration.
Use A Screenshot As A Visual Spec
- Provide the AI agent a screenshot of the desired UI to use as a visual spec.
- Paste that screenshot with the prompt so the generator matches your app layout.
