Before You Build: How to Talk to AI Like an Architect
Most people open an AI coding tool and start typing "Build me an app."
That's the fastest way to get half-working code and a lost context window.
The process below is the conversation chain used to get from a vague idea — "I want a daily AI digest app" — to a fully runnable prototype with a coherent architecture and modular Replit prompts.
You can reuse this exact structure for any AI-assisted build: an automation tool, a data dashboard, a writing agent, anything.
Use this document as a template:
- Replace the example details with your own project idea.
- Walk through each "Round" conversationally with ChatGPT.
- When finished, you'll have a Master Initialization Prompt and a clean set of Phased Build Prompts to drop into Replit.
