Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: In prompts, melon is useful for food apps, produce tracking, agriculture dashboards, and ecommerce catalogue logic. Six practical prompts:
Speaker A: Start with a recipe app UI.

Prompt: Design a mobile recipe screen focused on melon dishes: quick prep cards, sweetness scale, serving slider, allergen notes, and shopping checklist. Use bright summer colours, large photo tiles, and one-tap save buttons.
Speaker B: Why it works: melon narrows ingredient context and keeps outputs practical.
Speaker A: Can we model stock in a database?
Speaker B: Second - produce inventory schema:
Prompt: Create Postgres tables for melon_batches, suppliers, ripeness_checks, cold_storage_logs, and spoilage_reports. Store variety_name, arrival_date, brix_score, temperature, status, and indexes for supplier_id, variety_name, and expiry_date.
Speaker B: Great for grocery and warehouse teams.
Speaker A: What about an HR use case?
Speaker B: Third - office wellness app:

Speaker A: Dashboard example?
Speaker B: Fifth - sales analytics dashboard:
