Day 8: How to Write an App Spec for AI Builder Tools

Coming July 2026…

About this Workshop

Write your first MVP spec with AI using a six-part template, and learn front end, back end, API, and database language so you can describe problems clearly.

This is part of the AI Bootcamp. Click here to learn more.

What you'll learn

  • Why a spec closes the gap between what you meant and what the builder actually built
  • The six-part spec template: app summary, problem statement, target user, core features, user flows, success
  • The Spec Prompt Pattern: let AI interview you one question at a time and build the spec with you
  • Front end, back end, APIs, databases, and CRUD explained in plain language
  • Rewriting vague descriptions using builder vocabulary so the tool has fewer guesses to make
