I built a morning checklist app with AI so my daughter forgets less

A mother built a morning checklist app with AI over about two weeks, running on a server at home. Her daughter checks it on a tablet each morning, and the usual items open on their own from her timetable, so she is less unsure about what to bring.

How it works

  1. Makes a first version with Bolt.new
  2. The AI helps her build 21 API endpoints and link the screen to a database on the home server
  3. They tune the colours and layout for a child
  4. Her daughter starts using it every morning

Why it’s worth knowing

A parent who is not an engineer shipped a working app her child uses every morning, and it cost nothing to build.

Upgraded prompt

A ready-to-use prompt for this idea, built from research on what makes AI agents do the job right: who the AI should be, the exact steps, and a check to make sure it was done the way you wanted.
