Keep building after the first build
How to go from a first version to the app you actually imagined.
Before you start
- A project with a finished first build
- 1
Ask for one thing at a time
Small requests build better and cost fewer credits than big bundled ones, and it is much easier to see what changed. "Add a search field to the recipe list" lands more reliably than a list of five wishes in one message.
- 2
Name the screen you mean
Say "on the recipe detail screen, add a share button" rather than "add sharing". The AI knows your screens by name, and pointing at the right one removes the guesswork.
- 3
Work through your roadmap
If your first build had a "Planned after the first build" list, that is your menu. Pick the next feature from it and ask for it. The AI already knows the context, because those items came from your own description.
- 4
Show instead of describing
You can attach screenshots in the chat. A picture of a design you like, or of the thing that looks wrong, often works better than a paragraph of explanation.
- 5
Let the AI fix errors
If the app shows an error, tell the AI what you see. It reads the logs and error output itself, so "the app shows a red error when I open settings" is usually all it needs.
- 6
Use Restore when a change went wrong
Every AI change is saved as a version. Instead of describing what to undo, click "Restore to this point" on the last message where things were good. The code returns to exactly that state.
- 7
Use separate chats for separate topics
The chat sidebar lets you create more chats in the same project. Keeping design polish in one chat and a new feature in another keeps both conversations focused.
