What Prompt Chips Are
Each chip is a short, concrete prompt suggestion for a new app. They appear under the home screen’s prompt box while it’s empty, and Shuffle shows a different set.Using a Prompt Chip
1
Pick a chip on the home screen
Browse the suggested chips and choose one that’s close to what you have in mind.
2
Edit it to fit your idea
The chip’s text drops into the prompt box. Tweak the wording — change the app’s purpose, name, or features — so it matches what you actually want.
3
Send it
Submit the prompt and Fabricate builds your app, deploying it to the live preview as it works.
Starting a New Project
When you’re beginning from scratch, a prompt chip gives you a complete starting point to react to. It’s often easier to refine an existing idea than to invent one from nothing — start with a chip, reshape it, and send.Extending an Existing Project
Prompt chips appear only on the home screen. In an existing project, the chat offers follow-up suggestions after a build finishes — Refine the design, Add a new feature, and Fix an issue. Selecting one sends it right away as a message, which uses credits, so when you have something specific in mind, type your own follow-up instead.Prompt chips are suggestions, not limits. You can always ignore them and write your own prompt in plain English.
Writing Strong Prompts
Whether you start from a chip or your own words, specific prompts produce better results:- Say what the app is for — “a habit tracker for daily routines” beats “an app.”
- Name concrete features — pages, fields, and actions you expect to see.
- Iterate — you don’t need the perfect prompt up front. Build, review the Live Preview, and refine with follow-up prompts.
