Make Your First App with AI
Describe an app to an AI and build something that really works.
Your mission
Use an AI helper to build a small, working app or web page just by describing what you want in plain words.
What you'll need
- A computer with internet
- A grown-up's help to open an AI building tool
- Your imagination
Your step-by-step plan
Dream it up
Pick something small and fun — a joke generator, a pet-name picker, a colour quiz.
Describe it clearly
Tell the AI exactly what you want, step by step, like in the Prompt Playground lab.
Try it out
Run what the AI made and see if it works the way you pictured.
Make it better
Tell the AI one thing to change, and try again until you like it.
Make it yours
- Add a fun colour or picture to your app.
- Show your app to a friend and watch them use it.
How you'll know you succeeded
- Your app runs and does something.
- You improved it with at least one follow-up request.
- You can explain what each part does.
