02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Identify an Editing Challenge

Within your AI-generated HTML plan, find a complex section that is tedious to edit via text, such as a table of decision rules or configuration data.

2

Prompt for a Custom Editing UI

Ask the AI to build a tool specifically for your editing problem. Describe the task and ask it to design the ideal interface.

Prompt:
I want to create an edible HTML artifact to help me define the decision rules... I don't like the ones we have right now. Make this a custom UI that helps me with structure but gives me flexibility. Design the ideal interface for this problem.
3

Use the Throwaway Micro-App

Interact with the generated custom webpage. It will provide a dedicated UI with input fields, buttons, and other controls to easily modify the complex data.

4

Integrate the Refined Output

Once you've perfected the data using the micro-app, use its built-in functionality (e.g., a 'copy to clipboard' button) to transfer the final, structured output back into your main project or workflow.
