# I Want AI To

> Plain-English Claude prompts, what they really produced and the mistakes, then how to put it live from GitHub with no terminal: for people who want AI to build a site, app, game, chatbot or shop. Published by Adapt Progress Evolve Limited (UK).

## How pages work
- Every page is written by Jack Stovell, lists its sources, and shows when it was published and last updated (the updated date changes only when the content does).
- Every page has a markdown mirror: append .md to its path (e.g. https://iwantaito.com/index.md, https://iwantaito.com/asks.md).
- Some pages include a clearly labelled panel of products made by the same studio that runs the site, only where they fit the page. Ours: made by the same studio that runs this site.

## Start here
- [Set up once](https://iwantaito.com/start/): the free Claude, GitHub and Cloudflare accounts every build uses, connected once so every change on GitHub goes live by itself; what each costs; and what Claude can and can't do from a chat (free) or with Claude Pro. Markdown: https://iwantaito.com/start.md

## Who this is for
People who want AI (Claude) to build them a website, an app, a game, a chatbot or an online shop, have never used a terminal, and want it free or nearly free to run. Every page gives the exact plain-English prompts we sent, what Claude really produced (unedited, with the model and date), what we tested, what Claude got wrong, and the clicks to put it live from GitHub on Cloudflare without installing anything.

## Builds
Index of every build: https://iwantaito.com/asks/ (markdown https://iwantaito.com/asks.md)

Cost: £0 a month on Cloudflare's free plan and Claude's Free plan; your own domain is optional and the only cost. Live demo (Claude's unedited files): https://demo.iwantaito.com/build-me-a-website/ Updated 2026-10-01. Markdown: https://iwantaito.com/asks/build-me-a-website.md
