The original title is: "The Beginner App Idea Checklist Before You Ask AI To Code In 2026"

Short summary

Before asking AI to code your app, clearly define your target user (one specific person), their core problem, and the workflow they need—not a feature list. The guide provides practical frameworks to prevent 'software confetti': start with a person and their pain point, outline the complete workflow, and explicitly exclude features from version one. This focus makes AI tools far more effective.

• •Define a specific target user and their problem before asking AI to build
• •Design around a core workflow, not a feature list
• •Create an explicit exclusions list for version one to keep scope tight
