Step by step

The workflow

Follow the sequence once, then adapt the prompts, checks, and handoffs to your own setup.

3 steps

Step01

Craft a Detailed Website Prompt

Write a single, comprehensive prompt for ChatGPT Sites. Include the site's function, branding colors, content source (e.g., a YouTube channel), and how content should be categorized and filtered.

Example prompt
I'm here right now with Claire Vo. She hosts the How I AI podcast, and we're hoping that we can build a site that takes all the best tips from the videos on her YouTube channel and makes it so you can like easily filter through them and have quick links to like different timestamps on her videos. Make it match the How I AI branding. We use good old AI blurple, purple, and black and white. And let's have it, if possible, categorized by tool... and also function... Otherwise, I'm excited to see what you come up with.
Step02

Let the AI Agent Build the Site

Submit the prompt and allow the AI agent to handle the entire development process. This includes designing the database schema, building the front-end, structuring the layout, and pulling in the specified data.

Give me the exact commands, settings, or output to use. Finish with a pass or fail check for let the ai agent build the site.
Step03

Review and Publish

After the AI finishes, review the generated website. Use the sharing settings to either deploy it publicly to the world or restrict access to a specific list of email addresses for private use, internal tools, or MVPs.
