Use AI prototyping tools to create a usable first build, not a pretty screenshot. Learn how to validate flows and remove wireframing-by-habit.

Build Path

1. Define the outcome for v0/Bolt Prototyping: Ship the First Truth in one sentence.
2. Ask your coding agent for a minimum viable implementation with explicit constraints.
3. Run locally, inspect errors, and iterate through small diffs.
4. Validate accessibility and responsive behavior before shipping.
