AI adds skeletons, spinners, and 'Loading...' messages so your app feels fast even when it's slow.
7 min · Reviewed 2026
The big idea
A loading state is what you show users while data is being fetched. Without one, your screen looks broken. AI can add skeletons (gray boxes that mimic the layout) so users know stuff is coming.
Some examples
Ask AI: 'Add a skeleton loader for this list of cards while data fetches.'
AI suggests using React Suspense for clean loading UI.
AI adds an error state too, in case the fetch fails.
AI suggests a min-display time so the spinner doesn't flash.
Try it!
Find a fetch in your app that has no loading UI. Ask AI to add a skeleton and an error message.
