A few months ago, this was unthinkable.
Yesterday, at the end of the day, I wondered: What if I could create the academy I've been dreaming of with a single prompt?
The idea was aggressive: I spent an hour answering questions with Codex's plan mode, outlining everything I wanted to see in it and how.
You've probably read that people have sessions lasting hours and end up with a complete app.
Well, the result wasn't quite like that, but it was the seed of something.
It generated a complete structure for my idea, which I can now iterate on with more precision.
The first thing I did this morning was sit in front of Pencil and start asking it for designs based on prompts that Codex generated.
The result? Very good, and after a few iterations, very close to how I had imagined it.
Then, using the MCP, Codex took it and updated the existing design with the new one.
I won't lie to you, it wasn't a one-prompt job, but we're starting to understand each other, and above all, we iterate on everything that fails so that the AGENTS.[md] is updated and doesn't happen again.
Right now, a day later, I have the dashboard page fully functional and, yes, with clearer ideas, I've left it working on the courses section.
Definition of Done: I can register a complete course with all its content. Will I achieve it in one prompt? I'll tell you tomorrow.
I still don't see how these tools can be given a perfect prompt to generate an app from start to finish, but for me, it was unthinkable to do this in a day while I've accomplished so many other things that had nothing to do with it.
The future academy is coming!
