Make something

Go to sleep with an idea. Wake up to three working versions.

Give your agent one playful idea and a small work budget. Get a miniature lab of working experiments you can open, compare and keep.

You get: Three tiny prototypes and a lab notebookOriginal prompt · Not run-tested

Your copy-and-paste prompt

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.

Run a miniature prototype lab for this idea: [idea, such as a game that makes choosing dinner fun]. It is for [person or group], and the one behavior that matters is [behavior]. Your work limit is [45 minutes or another limit].

First say whether you can continue in the background. If you cannot, run the lab now. Build three deliberately different, very small approaches as local browser prototypes. Change the interaction or underlying idea, not just the colors. Prefer self-contained HTML, CSS and JavaScript; use sample data clearly labeled as invented. Avoid accounts, paid services and external dependencies.

Choose a scope you can actually finish within the limit. For each version, exercise the main interaction and one awkward edge case using available browser tools. Record what you observed, what failed and what you changed; if you cannot run it, label it untested. Do not fabricate user feedback or score your work as if real people tried it.

Return a single lab index that opens all three versions, a short comparison, and a recommendation based on the observed behavior. Include the editable files. Stop after one repair pass per version. Do not deploy anything. I want something I can play with over breakfast, plus an honest account of what works.
What the result could look like

One dinner problem, three strange little machines

An illustrative lab might contain a dinner roulette wheel, a two-person meal negotiation game and a pantry challenge. You can try each approach before choosing one to develop.

Illustrative example. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation.

Make it more you

Try a tiny learning game, a personal discovery tool or a deliberately absurd household dashboard. Keep one clear interaction at the center.
