Building by Chatting Without Burning Credits
Lesson 2: The First Build and the Change Loop
Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Run a first build from the brief.
- Request one specific change at a time.
- Use a plan or chat-only mode to discuss before building, where available.
Lesson Content
The change loop:
- Ask: one specific change. "On the staff list, sort requests newest first."
- Test: try it right away.
- Record: prompt, result, and credits in the build log.
Many builders offer a mode to discuss or plan without changing the app (names vary, such as chat mode, plan mode, or discuss mode). Use it to think through a change before paying for it.
Specific beats vague: "Make the submit button green and full width on phones" rather than "make it look better."
