You have the idea. I'll build the prototype.
I'm a solo developer who helps non-technical founders turn their app ideas into real, working prototypes — fast. No jargon, no bloated agency process. Just a conversation and a build.

How It Works
Three steps from idea to prototype
A clear, straightforward process — no surprises, no runaway timelines. You stay informed, I handle the building.
Tell me your idea
We start with a free 30-minute call. No prep needed, no pitch deck required. Just tell me what you're imagining — I'll ask the right questions.
We scope it together
After the call, I'll put together a clear plan: what we build, what it does, and what it won't do yet. You'll know exactly what you're getting before anything starts.
I build it, you run your business
Once we're aligned, I get to work. You don't need to manage me or translate requirements into tech. I check in regularly and hand over something you can actually use.
What You Walk Away With
Not just code. A prototype you can use.
The goal isn't to ship lines of code — it's to give you something real you can put in front of people.
Who This Is For
This is for you if…
I work best with individuals and small teams who have a clear idea and want to move fast.
Great fit
- You have an idea for an app but you're not a developer
- You've tried explaining it to a tech person and felt lost in the conversation
- You want to validate the idea with something real, not a pitch deck
- You're a founder, freelancer, or small business owner building something new
- Speed matters — you don't want to spend months to find out if it works
Not the right fit
- Large teams or companies that need full engineering staff
- Agencies looking for white-label work
- Enterprises with lengthy procurement processes
The Builder
Hi, I'm Thilo
I'm a developer who got tired of watching great ideas die because the person who had them couldn't find the right technical partner. I started Prompt Launch to make that first step easy — a real conversation, a real plan, a real prototype.
I use modern AI tools to build faster than traditional development — which means lower cost, quicker feedback, and less time spent waiting to find out if your idea works.

Translating a design file into working code used to be the longest, dullest, most error-prone part of building a product. AI tools have made the gap between a Figma artboard and a deployed app smaller than founders realize — but smaller is not zero, and the remaining gap is where most projects still fall.
Every codebase has documentation that was true once. Sometimes it was true years ago. AI changed something subtle about documentation — not just generation, but maintenance — and a handful of teams are quietly building docs that stay current without anyone making it their job.
Cloud AI is fast, powerful, and sends every line of your code to someone else's server. For a growing class of work — regulated industries, sensitive codebases, offline scenarios — that trade-off is becoming unacceptable. Here's where local AI coding models actually stand in 2026.
Most legacy software dies not because it stops working but because nobody wants to touch it anymore. AI changed the economics of rewriting a codebase to a new framework or language — quietly, and in a way most teams haven't priced in yet.
Setting up a local development environment used to be a rite of passage. In 2026, more and more development is happening in cloud sandboxes that spin up in seconds. Here's what changes when your codebase lives somewhere else and your AI agent has root.
For decades, specs were a thing nobody read. AI changed that. In 2026, a clearly written specification can produce most of a working app — and the people who write the best specs are pulling ahead of the people who write the best code.
