Come with a task. Leave with it done.
This page is your working hub for the session. Set up Base44, learn the CRAFT framework, then copy a prompt and build a real tool — today, not next quarter.
Brought your own task? Go straight to the CRAFT Rewriter.
Base44 is the tool we build in live. You describe the app you want in plain English and it builds a working version you can use. Sign up with our link and you start with 30 credits — enough to build today's tool.

Five parts. You do not need to be a prompt engineer — you need to answer five questions before you hit send.
What's the situation? Who is it for? What exists already?
Who should the AI act as? A job title sets the bar.
The specific job. One clear task, with the must-have features listed.
What should it look like? Pages, fields, layout, colors.
The shape of the answer: which pages or sections, and the voice.
I help organize events for a community group at my library. I need a simple way to post upcoming events and let people RSVP without emailing me.
You are a community-tech designer who builds welcoming, accessible tools for all ages.
Build an "Event Sign-Up" app with: (1) a public Events page listing title, date, time, location, and spots remaining; (2) an RSVP form (name, email, guests, accessibility needs) that shows a confirmation and reduces spots; (3) an organizer-only Admin page (login required) to add, edit, and cancel events and export RSVPs.
Large readable type (18px minimum), high contrast, card layout, purple accent, works on phones and desktops. Include 3 sample events.
Three pages: Events, RSVP, Organizer Admin. Voice: warm, welcoming, plain language — like a friendly community bulletin board.
Notice: three features, not fifteen. Sample data so it is not empty. A readability rule because the audience is everyone.
Type in the real task you brought today — rough is fine. The rewriter builds it into a full CRAFT prompt you can copy straight into Base44.
Type the task you brought to the workshop — however rough it is. The rewriter fills in the five CRAFT parts, tells you what was missing, and asks one question to sharpen it.
Prefer a head start? Steal one of these instead. The first three are the workshop builds. The next three are yours to run after the session — one for business owners, one for career professionals, one for everyday life.
Everyday people
Track spending by category and check off 5 daily habits. Mobile-first, green accent.
Context: I want one simple place to see where my money goes each month and whether I'm keeping up with my daily habits. Right now it lives in my head and a couple of notes on my phone.
Role: You are a personal-finance product designer who builds calm, encouraging tools for non-technical people.
Action: Build a "Budget & Habits" app with: (1) an Expenses page where I add an amount, category, and date, and see a monthly total plus a breakdown by category; (2) a Habits page with 5 daily habits I can check off, showing a current streak; (3) a Dashboard with this month's spend, top category, and habit completion rate.
Format: Mobile-first, card layout, large readable type, green accent. Include 2 weeks of sample expenses and habit check-ins so it is not empty.
Template: Three pages: Dashboard, Expenses, Habits. Voice: encouraging and non-judgmental, plain language, no finance jargon.

A mini CRM: leads, pipeline board, follow-up-due list, dashboard. Blue accent.

Service business owners
Build quotes, send them, and never let one go cold. Orange accent.

Role: You are an operations designer who builds practical tools for owner-operators in the trades and services.
Action: Build a "Quote Tracker" app with: (1) a Create Quote form (client name, contact, job description, line items with price, total, expiration date); (2) a Quotes list filtered by Draft, Sent, Accepted, Declined, Expired; (3) an "Needs Follow-Up" view showing sent quotes older than 5 days with a one-click "mark followed up" button; (4) a summary bar with open quote value and acceptance rate.

Career professionals

Template: Four sections: Add Bill, Next 30 Days, Review These, monthly and annual totals. Voice: calm and matter-of-fact — a helpful checklist, not a scolding.
These are super prompts for your AI agent. Every one ends in a real business action — a prospect contacted, an invoice followed up, a process documented — not a clever answer. Pick a zone, open a play, copy it into your agent.
Every prompt below follows the same seven moves. That's what makes it an agent instead of a chatbot.
Use what you already know about me. If you don't know enough, interview me first.
Research, analyze, or inspect what's available.
Don't overwhelm me with options. Recommend the strongest move.
Write the email, message, proposal, offer, follow-up, or SOP.
Prepare the actual next step so I can execute it.
Before sending email, creating events, or making external changes.
End with what happened, what comes next, and when to follow up.
Paste this at the bottom of any prompt — even one you wrote yourself. It's already included in every play above.
ACTION RULE: Do not stop after giving me advice. Help me complete the next action. If you can perform the action through an approved connected tool, prepare it and ask for approval when required. If you cannot perform it, give me the exact email, message, task, document, script, or next step so I can execute it immediately. Do not consider the exercise complete until there is a clear action taken or ready to take.
