Once you’ve created a project, you’re ready to start building. The key to working with HelloLeo is learning how to describe what you want in plain language.

How to Write a Good Prompt

A good prompt is:
  • Specific - Describe exactly what you want
  • Outcome-focused - Explain what the feature should do, not how to build it
  • Clear - Use simple, direct language

Example Prompts

Here are some examples of good prompts:

Building a Dashboard

Create a dashboard that shows all products from my Odoo inventory. 
Display the product name, quantity available, and price. 
Add filters to search by product name and filter by category.

Creating a Form

Build a customer registration form with fields for name, email, 
phone number, and company. When submitted, save the data to Airtable 
in the "Customers" table.

Adding Features

Add a search bar at the top of the page that filters the product 
list as the user types. Make it search both product names and descriptions.

What Leo Does

When you send a prompt, Leo will:
  1. Understand your request - Analyze what you want to achieve
  2. Plan the implementation - Determine what code needs to be created or modified
  3. Build it - Write the code and connect to your integrations
  4. Show you the result - Display the changes in the live preview

Tips for Success

  • Start simple - Begin with basic features and add complexity gradually
  • Be descriptive - The more details you provide, the better Leo can understand
  • Iterate - If something isn’t quite right, describe what you’d like changed
  • Use examples - Reference similar features or describe the desired behavior

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Too vague - “Make it better” doesn’t give Leo enough information
  • Too complex - Asking for multiple unrelated features at once can be confusing
  • Technical jargon - You don’t need to know programming terms; describe what you want
