Lesson 5: Turning an Idea Into a Clear AI Development Specification

“Make me a revision app” sounds clear until important decisions are left unstated: who will use it, what will they revise, and what counts as success? When those decisions are missing, the AI or human developer interpreting the request fills the gaps with assumptions. This lesson explores how an idea in someone’s head becomes clear enough for both an AI and a human developer to understand what should be built. The key concept is ambiguity: uncertainty created when information has not been made clear or specific.
