Tips for Success
Start simple, add complexity
Start simple, add complexity
Begin with basic functionality. Once it works, add features one at a time. This approach uses fewer bits and creates more stable apps.
Be specific in your prompts
Be specific in your prompts
Instead of “make it look better,” say “add 16pt padding and rounded corners to the cards.” Specific requests get better results and use fewer bits.
Test as you go
Test as you go
After each change, interact with your app in the Simulator. Catching issues early is easier than fixing them later.
Watch the AI work
