Start building with AI: make one useful thing
Choose a small first project, write a useful brief, and turn an AI-generated preview into something another person can actually use, test, and share.
Read the guideBuild, launch and share your work.
Practical steps for building with AI, hosting your first project, measuring usage and showing people what you made.
Start
Choose an idea and a way to build it.
Replit, Codex or Claude for your first project?
Choose a building workflow by the project, your comfort with files, and how you will publish and maintain it. Compare Replit, Codex, Claude and Sites fairly.
Read the guideBuild
Turn a small brief into something worth trying.
Build a small video game with Claude
Make a playable browser game with a clear loop, touch controls, restart behavior, and a tested public link. Start small before adding levels or accounts.
Read the guideMake an interactive tool with Opus 5.5
Turn an explanation into a useful interactive tool with Opus 5.5. Define the calculation, show assumptions, test edge cases, and choose the right sharing route.
Read the guideMake your project usable on a phone
Test the real task on a narrow screen with touch, readable text and a working keyboard. Handle desktop-only experiences honestly with a useful save-for-later route.
Read the guideLaunch
Get a stable public link and the essentials around it.
Email for your first product: sending, replies and updates
Set up product email with a verified sender, a real reply path, useful transactional messages and optional updates. Test delivery and unsubscribe behavior before launch.
Read the guideWhere to host your first project
Compare Sites, Replit, Vercel, GitHub Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare and Render by what your project needs, then publish a link you can maintain and update.
Read the guideKeep your project online after launch
Create a small maintenance routine for a creator project: owned accounts, verified updates, backups, spending checks and a clear response when something stops working.
Read the guideThe minimum stack for your first launch
Choose the smallest set of services your project needs: hosting, a contact route and useful analytics. Add accounts, data, email and payments when the work needs them.
Read the guideGet your product live in ten steps
A practical ten-step launch checklist for creators: finish the useful path, publish it, verify email and analytics, and give your first visitors a working link.
Read the guideGrow
Show the work and find the people it helps.
Analytics for your first real users
Measure the useful action in your project with a small event plan, verified GA4 or PostHog receipts, and a clear funnel. Keep private information out of tracking.
Read the guideBuild a creator portfolio around your work
Create a useful home for your projects with clear descriptions, original links, meaningful tags and specific sharing metadata. Show what you made and how people can try it.
Read the guideMake an AI-assisted sizzle video for your project
Use Opus 5.5 to plan a short launch video, Remotion or an editor to assemble it, and optional Higgsfield shots to add atmosphere without inventing product behavior.
Read the guideRecord a product demo people can follow
Plan and record a clear product demo with a real working flow, a short script, readable screen capture and a useful next step. Add polish after the proof is clear.
Read the guideWhere to share something you built
Find the right audience for a game, tool, product, video or visual explanation. Compare creator directories and launch communities, then prepare a useful submission.
Read the guideSee what people are making
Browse projects and the creators behind them, then follow the original work.
