Pro tip

If you want to streamline your workflow, keep a template of common functionalities or features you often use. You can quickly modify this template for future projects, saving you time on descriptions.

Avoid vague descriptions when creating your project. Phrases like “I want an app” without specifics will lead to generic results. Always include clear details about what you want your app to do.
