Our Build Process
A simple practice we follow when building with AI. Asking a quick question is easy. Building something real — a website, an app, a deck — takes a bit more structure. This is the checklist we use.
Get in touchHow it works
When you are building something substantial with AI, every unclear instruction costs you time. A vague brief leads to a wrong output. A wrong output leads to another prompt. Then another. Before you know it, you have spent an hour going back and forth and the result still is not right.
This is a discipline we practice to avoid that. It is not complicated. Most of it is common sense. But common sense is easy to skip when you are in a rush.
Define
Write down the problem, audience, features, and expected output. Decide which tool to start with.
Prompt
Give clear, detailed instructions. Ask AI to ask back if anything is unclear.
Assess
Evaluate the output yourself. Then ask AI to challenge its own work.
Iterate
List what needs to change. Keep what works. Build on it, not from scratch.
Deploy
Move from draft to done. Switch tools if needed to finish the job.
Analyse
Save what worked. Note what slowed you down. Build your playbook.
When the project is bigger than a quick question.
This process is designed for building, not for casual AI conversations. It applies to any AI tool — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or whatever comes next. Tools evolve. A solid process adapts with them.
Building a website or app
Define the purpose, audience, features, and scope. Prompt AI to generate the structure and code. Assess whether it works as intended. Iterate on layout, functionality, and content. Deploy using the right tool to get it live. Analyse what worked for next time.
Creating a slide deck
Define the story, audience, and key message. Prompt AI for the structure and content. Assess whether the narrative holds together. Iterate on flow and clarity. Deploy it in the meeting. Analyse what resonated and what fell flat.
Prototyping an internal tool
Define the problem your team faces. Prompt AI to build a working prototype. Assess whether it actually solves the problem. Iterate on usability. Deploy it to your team using the right platform. Analyse the process so others can build their own.
The depth changes depending on the project. A slide deck might take one cycle. A full app might take several.
Practice the process. Build something real.
Every Zantific workshop is built around this process. Your team runs through the full cycle hands-on and walks away with something they built themselves.
For teams
Hands-on corporate workshops. Your people practice the process by building real tools in a single session.
