When AI builds your app, it makes the big decisions for you. Who can log in, where your data lives, what happens when ten people use it at once. This is how I check those decisions before anyone else uses it.
Free. Just your first name and email, and it opens straight away.
Add your name and email and the whole checklist opens straight away, both prompts included.
One prompt to start, 15 checks, then a prompt that has the AI check its own work. The prompts are in the checklist.
Before you build
Tell it these 3 things
So the AI plans for year one, as well as day one.
The 15 boxes
Logins and access
Who gets in, and what they can see once they're there.
Your data
Where it lives, what you keep and whether you could get it back.
Secrets
Where your passwords and API keys should live.
When it grows
Will it still work for fifty people on a Monday morning?
Before customers use it
The last checks before you hand it to anyone outside the business.
Then
The review prompt
Asks your AI to check its own work, worst problem first.
The Australian bit
When the Privacy Act might apply to your app.
When to get help
The signs it's time for a real developer.
and other people are about to start using it.
and want the AI to plan for where you'll be in a year.
like names, phone numbers, job notes or payments.
and want to know the signs it's time to get one in.
I build apps with AI all the time and I love it. The AI makes the big decisions for you, though, and it only knows what you've told it.
It'll pick for day one unless you tell it about year one. This is what I check before I build, and before anyone else uses it, with two prompts to copy.
The one you built with. You paste the review prompt into the same tool that built your app. Every tool works a bit differently, so check its own help pages for where settings live.
The full guide opens on this page straight away. All 15 boxes and both prompts, with copy buttons. It stays open on the same phone or laptop when you come back.
Yes. Your first name and email, and the guide opens. No card, nothing to buy.
Yes. It's in plain English and explains terms like API keys as it goes. The review prompt asks the AI to explain every problem in plain English too.
Not always. The guide lists four signs it's time for one, like taking payments or holding health details. It suggests starting with a one-off review.
Grab the checklist and run the review prompt on your app before anyone else uses it.
