Alex Finn recommends starting with recurring friction rather than a narrowly specified app idea. Fable 5 can inspect the broader workflow, identify repeated decisions and help design a personal operating layer that stores preferences and feedback once instead of rebuilding context for every task.
Alex Finn suggests asking the model to propose several directions before choosing an implementation. This creates room for the agent to surface overlooked opportunities instead of simply producing the first interface the user imagined.
Alex Finn also highlights browser delegation and model allocation. External research and multi-step web tasks benefit from an agent that can act across tools, while scarce premium-model usage should be saved for planning and decisions that require the most judgment.
