Use AI for
- +Scaffolding the first version quickly
- +Giving you a usable structure to react to
- +Handling repetitive implementation faster than a blank page would
Do not trust AI with
- −Hiding the real hard part behind polished first drafts
- −Making the workflow look simpler than it is
- −Generating output that feels done before the important decisions are done
Do this manually
- •Clarify the job before adding more generated output
- •Audit the edge cases yourself
- •Tighten the final workflow until it sounds and feels intentional
Workflow that actually works
Step 1
Define the smallest useful outcome first.
Step 2
Use AI for the initial structure and repetitive setup.
Step 3
Pause before the complex part and decide it consciously.
Step 4
Test the result like a real user, not like the builder who already knows the app.
