• Solve a real need for user (ex: DESCRIPT→ Make video editing as easy as document editing)
• Find products for your customer
• Loveable→ Created GPT Engineer (USE GPT in a loop break idea into small steps understand context, and generate the app the user wants), Understood people want to build business w/o technical expertise
• Users: Non tech founders, designers, developers, hobbyists
• Needs: wokring software quickly
• Pain Points: - Good developer costly - AI solutions build for code generation require technical expertise -Difficult to srt up ai solutions -people want speed and granular control
• Limitation: AI output not always reliable, cant deploy at scale,codebase cant be controlled bc platforms owns it
• Important features: Can export code to github,need social proof(have sample prompts,learn section)
• Research:Notbeook LLM,NAPKIN AI |Prototype: lovable, v0 by vercel, bolt | Coding:Windsurf,Cursor
