Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Book Club Picker. An organizer creates a club and invites members by link. The club page shows the current book, next meeting date, host and location, and a list of past books with ratings.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Add a round flow: members nominate up to two books with title, author and a one line pitch, then vote with ranked choice before a deadline. Tally with instant runoff and announce the winner. Let the host set the meeting date by picking from member availability.
