02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Define Your App Vision and Set Up a Coding Agent

Outline a simple vision for your app (e.g., a minimal UI that plays curated YouTube streams). Then, set up a specialized AI coding agent (like 'Cole') using a platform like OpenClaw.

2

Build the App Through Conversation

Work with the agent in a conversational, iterative manner. Describe one feature at a time, and the agent will generate the necessary code. This allows you to build a functional app piece by piece without writing code yourself.

3

Challenge the Agent to Solve Problems

If the agent claims something is not possible, don't accept it as a final answer. Push back and re-frame the request with a strong sense of mission to encourage the agent to find alternative solutions.

Prompt:
Try harder, Cole. Okay, that's not an answer we need right now... We've got real work to do guys. Save these kids' souls, Cole.
Pro Tip: Treating your agent like an employee and giving it mission-driven directives can unlock more creative and persistent problem-solving.
4

Deploy the App to a Physical Device

Once the application is built, ask the agent for instructions on how to deploy it to a physical device. The agent can guide you through packaging the app and installing it on hardware like a Google TV streamer.
