Describing What You Want Built

The AI can build anything. The question is whether you described it clearly enough that it builds the right thing.

Real-world application: What changes when you use this: you can describe what you want built in plain English — specific enough that the AI doesn't have to guess, which means fewer broken first attempts.

What you will learn

Describe what you want built in plain English with enough specificity that the AI doesn't guess
Include user stories, features, and constraints in build descriptions
Avoid the vagueness that leads to wrong builds
