Prompt guide
Don’t submit prompts that violate our Acceptable Use Policy. Prompts that are malicious, contain injections, or are too vague will be automatically rejected.
Bring your app idea to life with a well-written prompt. Here’s how to craft a clear, detailed prompt that helps Bubble AI build what you have in mind.
What to include
App type and purpose – What kind of app is it, and what problem does it solve?
Target users – Who is this app for?
Core features – What should users be able to do?
Visual style – Any colors, mood, or design references to guide the look and feel
Example structure
"A [app type] for [target users] to [main purpose]. Users can [key features]. Style should be [visual preferences]."
Effective Prompt Examples

✅ Tips for better results
1. Be specific about purpose

Try: "An invoice management app for freelancers"

Instead of: "Make it look good"
Try: "Professional design with navy blue and gold, inspired by financial apps"

Instead of: "Users can do everything they need"
Try: "Users can create events, invite friends, and track RSVPs"
❌ What to avoid
1. Being too vague
"Make me a social app that's really cool and modern."
2. Too detailed on layout
"Put the login button in the top right corner, make the sidebar exactly 250px wide, and use Helvetica font for all headers."
3. Technical specifications
"Integrate with Stripe API, use PostgreSQL database, and implement OAuth authentication with Google and Facebook."
Style and design guidelines
There is some overlap between color and mood, but make sure you include both in your prompt.
Color Preferences

Mention themes: "dark mode," "minimalist," "vibrant"
Reference styles: "corporate professional," "playful startup"

FAQ
What is sample data?
What is sample data?
Sample data refers to placeholder information that mimics real data and is used during the app-building process. Bubble AI generates sample data to help you visualize how your app will look and function once it’s populated with actual user information. For example, if your app includes a list of users or a gallery of products, Bubble AI might fill those areas with sample names or descriptions.
This temporary data is particularly useful for making sure your app works: testing and refining the design, workflows, and overall user experience before launching your app. Once you’re satisfied with the app’s structure, you can replace the sample data with live information or accept real data coming from your users. By including realistic sample data, Bubble ensures you can clearly see how your app will behave in a real-world scenario.
