The idea

People photograph a hole, loose seam or missing button and AI suggests a simple repair method with supplies and steps. Beginners gain confidence to fix clothes instead of replacing them. Keeping clothes longer is one of the easiest ways to cut textile waste.

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 an Expo mobile app called Mend Guide. Create signup, a home screen with a big camera button and a My Mends list. The capture screen takes a photo and asks garment type and fabric type (knit, woven, denim, not sure).

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Send the photo and answers to an AI vision model and return a repair plan: damage type, recommended method (patch, darn, whip stitch, button replace, visible mend), supplies list and numbered steps. Save the plan as a mend with status to do, in progress, done.
