Episode notes
Live Demo: Weightlifting App In Minutes
- In a live demo Alex had Famous.ai build a weightlifting tracker with signup, history, and stats in about eight minutes.
- The app included mock data and preset workouts so listeners could immediately test features.
Golf Tracker Built Rapidly
- Alex also built a golf-tracking app in about 12–15 minutes with mock courses like Pebble Beach.
- The app auto-populated rounds, stats, and course browsing so it felt product-ready.
Scale Features With Follow-Up Prompts
- Use iterative prompts: request features or dataset expansions and let the AI research and populate them.
- Add follow-up prompts to scale data (e.g., populate all U.S. golf courses) instead of manual entry.
