I open MS Word every single day.
Not to write essays. Just to log my tasks.
Well that's not a very good way of doing things in the era of AI.

A clean, simple task logger. Nothing more, nothing less. Built with @Lovable .
But here's the part every person who vibecodes or tries to, misses:
Before I typed a single prompt, I planned everything.
What the app does. What it doesn't do. How it should feel. What problem it solves.
Because AI can build fast but it builds what you describe. Garbage in, garbage out.

ā Plan before you build (scope it, sketch it, think it through)
ā Describe it clearly (your plan becomes your prompt)
ā Ship it

What's one tool you keep hacking together in the wrong app?

Finally, I donāt need to shrink my ideas to make them possible!
Isnāt that the dream?
My creative ideas are often technically complex. The gap between what I imagine and what I can build alone used to be the biggest bottleneck in my work
But now, with AI, I can finally spread my wings and fantasize fully š§āāļø
Weāre so lucky to live in this moment with all these slightly crazy technologies right at our fingertips!
I genuinely feel like I'm living my best creative life, having Claude Code as a creative-technical partner. I describe the concept, how it should feel, move, and respond, and it translates that into GSAP timelines, Three.js scenes, and Webflow integrations. Not just code, but structure I can work with
I stay in the creative layer
It handles the technical translation
So instead of simplifying ideas to fit my capacity,
I can finally follow them fully!
Curious, have you already integrated AI into your workflow?
Any interesting setups or tools?
Would love to steal themš
Yes it's crazy what Claude can do. I spent the whole day yesterday trying to create systems that would work for me

How much time do you spend saying āIāll get back to you with detailsā instead of actually designing? š£
I donāt think AI should generate more designs. My dream AI flow would be that at the moment I book a project, all the admin to builds itself š
1ļøā£ A task board with timelines and phases already mapped
2ļøā£ A contract generated from the project scope
3ļøā£ A budget aligned with my pricing, ready to send
No back and forth. No losing 2 to 3 hours doing things I have already done a hundred times.
Because the real bottleneck is not the creative phase. It is everything around it and I believe that if that disappears, the work gets better by default.
Tell me, how much time do you spend on admin stuff and what would you automate first if you could?
