2

Select Your AI Tool and Model

Use an AI tool capable of code generation, like Codex, and select a powerful, creative model like GPT-5.6 Sol for best results.

3

Input the PRD

Drop the entire PRD for your gamified homework system into the AI tool's prompt interface.

4

Generate the Application

Run the prompt and let the AI generate the full application in one shot. The author notes the result was ambitious and included a student dashboard, gamification, and a parent HQ.

5

Review and Test the App

Test the generated application. Check that the student quests, reward system, and parent dashboard are functional and meet the requirements outlined in your PRD.
