ISSUE 001
Build a countdown to Christmas
Here's something most people don't know AI can do: with just a couple of prompts, it'll build a live countdown page that ticks down to Christmas. Then you can share it with the whole family in one link, straight from your phone. No coding needed.
Ours, ticking down to the big day. Yours can count down to anything.
TRY IT NOW
Start with one prompt
Copy this, paste it into the AI app on your phone, and send:
💬 YOUR PROMPT
Make me a countdown page to Christmas Day for my family. It should show days, hours and minutes, feel cosy and festive, and work well on a phone.
Then make it yours. Ask for one change at a time, like this:
💬 YOUR PROMPT
Add a line underneath that says "Mince pies at Grandma's!" and make the numbers bigger.
The last step is sharing it. The online version shows exactly where the share button is in your app, with a live countdown to play with.
