Use AI to Plan Your Product Before You Build
How to use ChatGPT and Claude to make smart build decisions and avoid wasting weeks.
Lesson Notes
Before you build anything, spend 20 minutes talking to Claude or ChatGPT about your product. Describe what you want to build and ask: "What are the right tools for this? What are the risks? What should I build first?" AI is exceptionally good at this because it has seen thousands of software products and can pattern-match your idea to the right stack instantly. The prompts that work best: be specific about your constraints (budget, timeline, technical skill level), describe your users, and ask for tradeoffs — not just "what should I use" but "why would I NOT use Bubble for this?"
