How to Build a Functional MVP with Solid AI from a Single Prompt



Throughout 2025, conversations around AI in digital product development have become increasingly common. Yet only a few tools have had such a tangible impact on the daily work of founders and product teams as Solid AI — a no-code platform that turns prompts into functional prototypes and MVPs.


A few weeks ago, we published an initial article on the Nomu blog exploring what Solid AI is and why it fits particularly well in early-stage product development.This piece goes one step further.


Here, we focus on real usage: what actually happens when you start building, iterating, and making product decisions with Solid AI.


This is the full journey of SoundCircle, a music community platform built entirely using Solid AI.



The starting point: a clear idea, no technical specifications

The process begins with a deliberately open prompt — closer to a product vision than a technical brief:

Create a community platform for people who love music and want to experience it through shared moments and real-life events.

From there, a set of guiding principles emerges:

  • A music-focused social network, inspired by Letterboxd

  • User profiles built around musical identity

  • Spotify integration

  • Discovery of people and experiences

  • Exploration by genre and location

  • A simple, visual, community-first interface


There are no wireframes, no architecture diagrams, no detailed backlog.And yet, Solid AI starts turning the idea into an actual product, not just documentation.



First iteration: a complete platform from a single prompt

With just one prompt, Solid AI generates a platform with clearly defined, coherent sections — ready to explore and assess as a real product.


Home / Feed

A feed with a clear social logic, combining activity from followed users, shared playlists, and recommended music experiences. This isn’t a static landing page, but a space designed to encourage interaction and discovery.


Music profiles connected to Spotify

Each user has a profile that reflects their musical identity: tastes, playlists, albums, saved experiences, and a followers/following system. A structure that is easy to understand and ready for early validation.


Explore people and taste

The Explore section allows users to discover people with similar musical interests, filter by genre or location, and connect music, people, and experiences within a single flow. Exploration becomes a product experience, not just content browsing.


Music experiences as the core of the product

Concerts, listening parties, and local events are not treated as add-ons, but as a central part of the platform:

  • Discover experiences near you

  • See what people you follow are interested in

  • Save events for later

Music shifts from passive consumption to shared experience.



Iterating with AI: chat as a product-building tool

One of Solid AI’s most distinctive features is its conversational workflow. The product is not built linearly, but through continuous iteration via chat.

A clear example is the second prompt added to the project:

Add a chat section between different users.

Without redefining the platform or rebuilding flows, Solid AI:

  • Integrates a user-to-user chat

  • Connects it to existing profiles

  • Strengthens the social layer of the product

  • Preserves overall system coherence



On top of that, the tool automatically suggests logical next steps:

  • Unread message notifications

  • Read receipts

  • Image sharing within chats


These suggestions don’t just speed up development — they also support better product thinking, anticipating real user needs.



From abstract idea to tangible product

The real value of Solid AI goes beyond the final output. It lies in how it changes the product development dynamic:

  • The gap between idea and product shrinks dramatically

  • Decisions stop being theoretical

  • Iteration is fast and non-destructive

  • The product can be explored, evaluated, and discussed


Instead of staying at the concept level, you quickly arrive at something tangible.



Less friction, stronger product judgment

Solid AI doesn’t replace product judgment or strategic thinking. What it does is remove one of the biggest barriers in early stages: the time and cost required to materialize an idea.


In the case of SoundCircle, just a few prompts made it possible to:

  • Build a complex social platform

  • Integrate community, discovery, and experiences

  • Add new features without friction

  • Validate product hypotheses quickly


When friction goes down, focus returns to what truly matters: deciding what to build — and why.



2025: a turning point in how products are built

As we approach the end of the year, it’s clear that 2025 has marked a turning point in digital product creation.


Tools like Solid AI stand out not only because of their technology, but because of how they are reshaping the way teams and founders work.

Fewer long processes, more iteration.Less technical dependency in early stages, more real validation.


Product creation becomes more accessible — but also more demanding in terms of judgment. When building becomes fast, decision quality becomes the real differentiator.


Conclusion

SoundCircle is just one example, but it clearly shows the potential of Solid AI as a tool to think and build product at the same time.


Reducing friction doesn’t mean simplifying the product. It means creating space to focus on what truly matters: user experience, real value, and the right decisions.


And that shift, especially in early-stage product development, makes all the difference. More Nomu x Solid content
