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 ## Next Steps Learn advanced prompting techniques See your project live
