02

Domain and name

15 minutes
  • Decide if you will keep the name "Conversation Partner Match" or pick your own. Short, easy to spell and easy to say out loud beats clever.
  • Check if these domains are free at your registrar (for example Porkbun, Namecheap or Cloudflare): conversationpartnermatch.com, getconversationpartnermatch.com, conversationpartnermatchapp.com, conversationpartnermatchhq.com, tryconversationpartnermatch.com, conversationly.com.
  • Buy the .com if you can. Expect about $10 to $15 per year.
  • Grab the same name on Instagram, X and TikTok, even if you will not post yet.
AI PROMPT

Suggest 15 short, memorable brand names for an app that does this: Adult language learners get paired for weekly video chats at their level. It is for Adults studying a second language on their own. For each name, give a matching .com domain idea and one sentence on why it works. Avoid names of existing well known companies.

03

Trademark basics

30 minutes
  • Search the official US trademark database (tmsearch.uspto.gov) for your name, and also search Google and the app stores for apps with the same or a similar name.
  • If a similar name already exists for similar software, pick a different name now. Changing it later is expensive.
  • Filing your own trademark is optional at the start. Many founders file once they have paying customers. This is general information, not legal advice, so talk to a trademark attorney before filing.
04

AI build kickoff

20 to 40 minutes
  • Open your AI coding tool (Claude, Cursor or Lovable) and start a new project called Conversation Partner Match.
  • Paste the prompt below exactly as written. Let the AI finish, then run the app and click through every screen.
  • If something breaks, copy the full error message back to the AI and ask it to fix it. Repeat until it works.
  • Suggested stack: Next.js, MySQL, Tailwind, hosted on a small VPS. You can tell the AI to use it, or let it choose.
AI PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Conversation Partner Match. Users sign up (18 and over only) and fill a profile: native language, target language, level (beginner, intermediate, advanced), time zone, available hour blocks and interests.

05

Server and hosting

30 to 60 minutes
  • For the web app, the simplest path is a host that deploys straight from GitHub (for example Vercel, Render or Railway). A small VPS works too if you are comfortable with servers.
  • Set up a managed database (MySQL or Postgres) with your host and keep the password in an environment file, not in your code.
  • Put your code on GitHub so you never lose it and can deploy with one click.
AI PROMPT

My app Conversation Partner Match is built with Next.js, MySQL, Tailwind, hosted on a small VPS. Walk me step by step through putting it online: creating accounts, environment variables, connecting my GitHub repo, connecting my domain, and turning on HTTPS. Assume I am a beginner and explain each click.

06

Backend and data

1 to 3 hours
  • Now build the core feature. Paste the prompt below into the same project so the AI keeps the context.
  • After it runs, test it with real looking data. Try it the way a customer would, including mistakes like empty fields.
  • Ask the AI to add basic checks: required fields, friendly error messages, and nobody seeing another user's data.
AI PROMPT 2 OF 3

Write a weekly matching job that pairs users whose native and target languages are swapped, levels are close and time blocks overlap. Show each user their match, a suggested meeting time and a generated session guide with a topic, ten vocabulary words and five questions in each language.

07

Frontend and design

1 to 3 hours
  • Make it feel like a real product. First paste the design prompt, then the feature prompt below it.
  • Pick one brand color and one font and stick with them everywhere.
  • Show it to 3 people who match your customer and watch them use it without helping. Fix whatever confuses them.
AI PROMPT 3 OF 3

Redesign every screen of Conversation Partner Match so it looks clean, modern and trustworthy for Adults studying a second language on their own. Use one brand color, generous spacing, clear buttons, and make it work well on phones. Add a simple logo using the name Conversation Partner Match.

AI PROMPT 3 OF 3

Add email notifications for new matches and reminders an hour before sessions, a post session rating, and a report button. Add Stripe for the premium plan that unlocks two matches per week and custom session topics.

08

Go live

1 day
  • Deploy the web app to your host and connect your domain. Check that https:// works and that sign up, log in and the main feature all work on the live site.
  • Add a privacy policy and terms page. Your AI tool can draft them, and app stores require a privacy policy.
  • Set up simple analytics so you can see visits and sign ups.
AI PROMPT

Write a checklist to launch Conversation Partner Match (web) with everything I might forget: domain, HTTPS, privacy policy, terms, analytics, error monitoring, backups, and a support email.

09

Marketing plan

Week 1
  • Your first customers: Adults studying a second language on their own. List 20 real people or businesses that fit, and message them one by one. Ask for 10 minutes of feedback, not a sale.
  • How it makes money: Free basic matching, $6 a month for priority matching and AI session guides. Put the price on your site from day one, even if you offer a free trial.
  • Post where your customers already spend time: local Facebook groups, Reddit communities, industry forums, and LinkedIn.
  • Launch on Product Hunt and relevant subreddits once 5 real users have tried it.
AI PROMPT

Write a launch plan for Conversation Partner Match, which adult language learners get paired for weekly video chats at their level. The target customer is Adults studying a second language on their own. Include: where to find the first 100 users, 3 short launch posts, a cold message template, and a simple pricing page headline.
