Starter Tips

Describe clearly the user interaction you want to see
One feature at a time - don't try to add too many features at once, and test them before you add more
Use clear, friendly language in your instructions and feedback
Do some experimenting - add elements of gamification and motivation or allow for saving and sharing results. Ask Chat GPT/Claude if yu need more ideas. </aside>

Troubleshooting

If your first attempt doesn't work perfectly:

Be more specific about interactive elements
Try breaking your request into smaller parts
Describe exactly how you want users to interact with the tool
Explain the problem and ask the tool for help in fixing it
If the tool can’t fix its own issues, resort to ChatGPT or Claude
Rollback to a previous version </aside>

3 Simple Steps to Create Your First Digital Tool

Step 1: Imagine Your Idea 🌟

Start with a simple concept. Don't worry about technical details. Just think about a problem you want to solve, or something you want to create - maybe a calculator, a quiz, a small game, or a helpful tool that solves a specific problem. The more clearly you can describe your idea, the easier it will be to bring to life.

Step 2: Chat with Claude 💬

Describe your idea conversationally, just like you're talking to a helpful friend. Be as specific as possible about what you want your tool to do. For example, "I want to create a simple quiz that helps people figure out their ideal vacation style" or "I need a calculator that helps freelancers estimate their project rates."

Step 3: Let the Magic Happen ✨

Watch as Claude transforms your description into a working prototype right before your eyes! The tool will appear in a special "Artifact" box that you can interact with, copy, or share. Don't worry if it's not perfect - the first version is just a starting point you can always refine and improve.
