02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Create the Initial App with a Simple Prompt

Start by giving a direct, simple instruction to an AI-powered development tool like Replit or Lovable to generate the basic, minimum viable product (MVP) of your application.

Prompt:
Hey, build me a tool called Daily Hundred that pushes a different exercise to me to log a hundred reps.
Pro Tip: This method of translating a feeling and a goal directly into a functional product is referred to as 'vibe coding'.
2

Iterate on the App Using Replit's Plan Mode

Instead of giving direct commands for changes, switch to Replit's 'plan mode' to have a more collaborative conversation with the AI. Describe your goals in plain language to get better results and avoid unexpected outcomes.

Prompt:
Okay, robot, here's what your non-technical friend wants to do. How can we collaborate on our new idea?
Pro Tip: Use the live preview panel in Replit to get immediate visual feedback on the changes the AI makes, allowing for rapid, intuitive iteration without needing to be a software expert.
