Build creative tools with Base44

Hey! I used to be skeptical about vibe coding. But then, I spent two weeks freelancing at Base44. Now, I'm a believer.

So today, we'll build an AI scriptwriting app in three simple steps.


Step I: First Prompt

I use the IFS formula:

Idea: What’s your app idea?
Features: What should the app do?
💡Pro tip: Start with 2-3 features max.
Style: How should it look and feel? (layout, colors, tone.)

And here's my prompt:

A few minutes later, my first version is ready:


Step II: Test & Improve

First, I enter my brief: Product, promise, pain point, tone, formula, and duration.

I ask it to write an ad script for 1Password.

I hit 'Generate Script' and get a story about a couple whose date gets ruined because they forgot their Netflix password.

The audio and visuals got mixed up, and the formatting is a bit off, but... it’s working!

Besides, even Edison didn't get his light bulb on the first try.

So, I enter this prompt in the chatbox:

The new version is much better:

I can also edit my script manually.

Next, I click "Generate Visual Storyboard":

Nice! But still a bit inconsistent.

So I enter this prompt:

"Make sure the storyboards are always consistent and follow the same black and white sketch style."

I try again, and here's the result.


Step III: Launch

I hit publish, and my app is live with a domain, Google login, and even analytics.


Why It Matters

If everyone's creative process is unique, why should we all use the same software? Now we can create our own.


You made it! 💃
