I’ve watched teams make the same mistake over and over when they start building interactive tools with AI like calculators, quizzes, webpages, dashboards, and assessments.
They give up after their first attempt doesn’t match what they had in mind.
Here’s what works from my experience. Start with a simple prompt to get a baseline. See what AI creates, then iterate from there. Or go detailed upfront with specific user experience requirements.
Both approaches work. The mistake is expecting perfection on the first try and giving up when you don’t get it.
Imagine doing this: Work with AI to do deep research on a topic and build a working app in about 30 mins!
The calculator in this video (below) started with: “Create a simple business impact calculator for project management solutions based on the deep research report with metrics and benchmarks.” Then I continued to work with AI using plain English to make it look better and add features and messaging.
Play around with the calculator yourself (link in the comments). This one was created by Claude. But you can also create interactive apps with Gemini and ChatGPT.
AI builds in iterations. Sometimes a simple prompt gives you exactly what you need. Sometimes it gives you a starting point to refine. Either way, you’re building something interactive instead of just talking about it.
Tomorrow’s (June 26) newsletter shows you 10+ working examples and approaches to inspire what’s possible. I’ll show you HOW: the thinking, research, prompts, outputs from various AI models, and links to the shareable interactive apps so that you can try them.

UPDATE (June 26):
In this newsletter (https://lnkd.in/gSQRrXfp), I share the complete execution playbook with 10+ examples of turning concepts into interactive experiences.
What interactive tools have you built or are you planning to build? Get your ideas out of your head and turn them into something that others can easily understand and explore.
