The Brief — Field notes for building with AI
The Brief.
Practical guides for turning a rough idea into something an AI build tool can actually build. Written for founders using Lovable, Bolt, Cursor & Claude — by the studio that writes the blueprints.
B-01
How to brief Lovable so it builds what you actually want
The reason your AI build comes back wrong is almost never the tool. It's the brief. Here's the structure a senior product team would use — adapted so you can do it yourself.
B-02
Why AI builders build the wrong thing (and how to stop it)
Lovable, Bolt and Cursor fill every gap you leave with a default guess. Close the gaps and the guessing stops.
B-03
A product spec template for AI build tools
A copy-paste skeleton that covers what every build tool needs and most founders forget. Free, no email.
B-04
How to describe a user flow so AI builds it right
Screens are easy. Flows are where AI guesses. Here's how to write one it can't misread.
B-05
The edge cases AI builders forget (and your users won't)
Empty states, errors, overflow, offline. The difference between a demo and a product people trust.
B-06
Why your AI-built app looks generic — and the tokens that fix it
Default blue, default radius, default everything. Give the tool design direction and it stops looking AI-made.
B-07
Plan your app before you prompt: a founder's checklist
Ten minutes of decisions before you open Lovable saves you a weekend of re-prompting.
B-08
Lovable vs Bolt vs Cursor for non-coders
What each one is actually good at when you can't read the code it writes.
B-09
Can a non-technical founder really build with AI?
What genuinely works, what quietly breaks, and where a little planning changes the outcome.
B-10
Giving AI design direction: colour, type and spacing that don't look default
How to hand a build tool a visual system instead of hoping it picks one.
Rather not learn all this the hard way?
A Blueprint Sprint turns your idea into the full build-ready spec — flows, edge cases, visual direction — in 24 hours. You paste it in; the tool builds the right thing.
