How to Describe an App So AI Builds It Correctly

To describe an app so AI builds it, describe the records, the phases, and the rules. A description in terms of screens produces an interface over a structure nobody designed.

What a vague description produces

The builder fills the gaps, and the gaps are the important part.

Field types chosen for you, sometimes wrongly
Relationships inferred rather than specified
Phases invented to fit a generic pattern
A result that looks right and calculates nothing

What to include

Element	What to state
The record	What one row represents
Key fields	Including which are money and which are dates
Relationships	What connects to what, and in which direction
Phases	The stages records move through
Rules	Approval thresholds, required fields, routing

How to do it in Jestor

Write the description in plain text before opening the builder in Jestor.
Name the record, the fields with their types, and the relationships.
Describe the phases and any rules that govern movement between them.
Answer the builder's clarifying questions rather than skipping them.
Review field types and connected labels afterwards, before adding records.

Why choose Jestor for AI-assisted building?

The AI builder in Jestor asks clarifying questions before building, which means an incomplete description produces a conversation rather than a wrong guess.

Because it can also edit existing apps, a first attempt does not have to be right — the structure can be refined in the same way it was created.
