Benefits of the 'Standalone HTML' Instruction
Use the phrase 'Put everything in a standalone HTML file' in your prompt. This ensures all CSS and JavaScript are contained within a single file, preventing 'missing packages' or broken 'dependencies' when running the code locally.
Thinking Model & Agent Features
The MiniMax M2 model acts as an agent; it doesn't just write code, it also self-checks for errors. By monitoring the 'thinking' section, you can watch the AI automatically fix bugs before delivering the final output.
Fully Functional Layer System
Despite being generated with a single prompt, this AI-produced app supports a complex layer system where actions like 'Eraser' or 'Filters' only affect the active layer rather than the entire canvas.

Step by Step
Process for Generating Web Apps with MiniMax M2
- Open the MiniMax M2 interface.
- Enter a specific prompt to build a 'Photoshop clone' with an additional instruction to place all code within a single HTML file.
- Click the 'Run' button to start the code generation process.
- Monitor the 'Thinking Process' section to see how the AI autonomously detects errors and performs self-healing on the code as it runs.
- Wait for the AI to finish generating the code and display a link to test the application.
- Click the provided link to open the generated Photoshop web app.
- Test the app's basic functions: Use the brush with various colors and size settings.
- Use the 'Layers' panel to add new layers and test the 'Visibility' button (eye icon) to hide or show layers.
- Test the 'Eraser' tool to ensure it only deletes content on the selected layer.
- Go to the 'Filters' menu and click on effects like Blur, Sharpen, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Grayscale, Invert, or Sepia to see real-time changes on the image.
