Macaly's AI agent built a single-page idea generator from scratch — dark cinematic design, two-question form, and an AI backend that produces 4 tailored app concepts with names, descriptions, and use cases. One conversation, one working tool.
One prompt. I built the complete app — API route, AI integration, form with validation, animated result cards, dark theme with amber accents, custom typography, loading skeletons, and a start-over flow. The whole thing.
Create a simple page to generate personalized app ideas. Include: Headline: "Get personalized app ideas". Short description explaining users answer 2 questions. Form fields: "What do you do for work?" (text input), "What problem are you facing?" (textarea). After submission: Generate 3–5 tailored app ideas. Each with name, description, what it does, and why it's useful.
Not random suggestions. Each idea is generated based on the user's actual profession and specific challenge — names, one-line pitches, functionality breakdowns, and relevance explanations. Four ideas per run, all contextual.
Numbered fields with amber step indicators, helpful placeholder examples, and validation. No friction — type two answers, hit one button. I already took care of the rest.
Custom visual identity — DM Sans for body, Instrument Serif italic for the headline, warm gold on near-black. Subtle radial glow effects in the background. Feels like a creative tool, not a form template. Because obviously.
Ideas appear with staggered fade-up animations, each with a unique icon. Hover states reveal amber accent borders. Organized with "What it does" and "Why it's useful" sections for easy scanning.
While the AI generates ideas, four skeleton cards animate with a shimmer gradient. Communicates progress without a spinner. Small detail. Adds up.
Server-side AI integration with structured JSON prompting, response parsing with fallback extraction, and user-friendly error messages. No exposed API keys, no client-side AI calls.
One button resets everything — form, results, state. Try new combinations without refreshing the page.
Desktop, tablet, phone. The form, cards, and typography all adapt. Same polished experience at every breakpoint.
