Hey everyone,

Quick background: we're the team behind Trickle.so, where we help people build apps and websites with AI. We've been deep in the AI tooling space for a while now, and something kept bugging us.

This upgrade brings a new level of multimodal intelligence to the Magic Canvas.

Trickle can now understand scenes, layouts, logic, interaction patterns, and even vector graphics with far more accuracy. A few lines of text are enough to generate full builds with structure, behavior, and clean UI.

We ve got a big update: after ten years, we re officially sunsetting the Golden Kitty Awards.

I ve been building with AI tools a lot lately, and one thing kept bothering me: I had dozens of great prompts scattered everywhere Notion docs, chat histories, screenshots It was chaos.

We have rolled out Kimi K2 Turbo, the newest large-scale model from Moonshot AI, inside Trickle.

It is faster, sharper, and designed for seamless creative flow.

We ve got devices that talk to each other, lights that respond to voice, and thermostats that learn your habits

So why does the smart home still feel like it hasn t clicked for most people?

We ve spent the last year building in this space, and this question keeps coming up, especially outside of early adopter circles.

This week I picked 4 new templates from Trickle.so that I think are worth checking out, they cover ecommerce, portfolios, and form-based sites:

1. Product Landing Page

A cohesive brand look helps your audience quickly capture the value you re delivering.

Prompting is everything in the age of vibe coding. Knowing how to guide AI precisely and efficiently is the key to getting the results you want. Today, I m sharing some of my favorite prompting tips, plus a handy cheatsheet I put together.

Prompting Tips That Actually Work

• Be spatially specific. Use keywords like "left", "right", "centered", "aligned to bottom", "spaced evenly" to help the model place elements correctly.

• Mention device behavior. If it should behave differently on mobile vs desktop, say so. Ex: "stacks on mobile, grid on desktop".

• Use visual vocabulary. Mention familiar UI terms like "modal", "toast", "card", "hero section", or "split view" to tap into known design structures.

• Give UX intent. Add the why: "Add white space for readability", "Add a hover effect for feedback", "Use a progress bar to show completion".

• Sequence your ideas. For complex prompts, list in steps: "First, add a header. Below that, place a form with two inputs...". AI loves structure.

• Say what not to do. If you want to avoid scrollbars, animations, shadows, etc., say so.

• Don t forget empty states. Great design considers what happens when nothing is there say "show a placeholder when list is empty".

• Test prompt variants. Swap words like "tile" vs "card", "modal" vs "popup" to see which gives cleaner structure.

• Use active voice. Start with a verb: "Add", "Place", "Make", "Create", "Animate", "Style". It helps guide generation.

We ve recently launched a new section: a growing collection of free AI tools to help with small but essential creative and technical tasks.
