No-code intake: form in, summary out

Chaining a form to an AI summarize step is the smallest real AI application — and teaches the full build loop.

Sketch (or build, if you have a no-code tool) the pipe: what comes in, the transform prompt, what goes out, and where a human checks it. You're done when the four boxes are drawn and the prompt is written — building it is the opt-in extra.

Worked example

The smallest real AI app isn't a chatbot; it's a pipe: form in, AI transforms, summary out. Intake requests, survey responses, bug reports. Build one and you've learned the whole loop — inputs, prompt, output, and what breaks.
