Short answer: Not yet

Longer answer: It can do an okay job if you prompt it certain specific ways.

I write a blog https://generative-ai.review and some of my posts walk through the exact prompts I used and the output is there for you to see right in the browser[1]. Take a look for some hand holding advice.

I personally tackle AI helpers as an 'external' internal voice. The voice that you have yourself inside your own head when you're assessing a situation. This internal dialogue doesn't get it right every time and neither does the external version (LLM).

I've had very poor results with One Stop Shop builders like Bolt and Lovable, and even did a survey yesterday here on HN on who had magically gotten them to work[2]. The response was tepid.

My suggestion is paste your HN comment into the tool OpenAI/Gemini/Claude etc, and prefix "A little bit about me", then after your comment ask the original coding portion. The tool will naturally adopt the approach you are asking for, within limits.
