You're not gonna get something that's ready to ship, but as a first pass to get something running yes. Let's you explore far more ideas with only a few hours of agent time.
replyI started KeenLore (an emotive audiobook creator) that way. I gave it software specifications, languages, JSON schema definitions, container requirements, hardware configuration (8GB NVIDIA T1000 GPU, 96GB RAM), and zero user interface mockups. For the second round, I asked it to build a completely independent, re-entrant, and data isolated demo system on top of the web application. The demo application included voice generation using one of its voice designs. Here's the output:

The system performs quotation attribution on my local hardware for my near-future, hard sci-fi novel (having nearly 500 quotations) with over 97% accuracy.
The initial prototype was developed quite quickly, but numerous successive iterations were required to fix numerous gaffs by Opus 5 (because it doesn't actually _understand_ what it takes to make general-purpose audiobook narration software).
I don't think most prototypes are serious software.
replyThis is how ChatGPT, Cursor apps are built. They spent so much money on PR stunts, but "thousands of agents" can't make an app that doesn't freeze on each keystroke. Not even talking about user-friendly ui
replyWeird, ChatGPT has always worked really well for me.
replyEarly on their software was like this, the original ChatGPT desktop app was basically unusable and full of memory leaks that would tank the software. They’ve long since fixed that though
replyThe new ChatGPT desktop app is a dumpster fire though, it can’t even scroll properly when streaming the answer.
replyFor a prototype or a 1 or 2 use tool, yes, this is exactly how serious people are building software.
