I trained AI to build a Full Stack app for me + a Free Course 🎁


Hey friend,

AI has revolutionized how we should build products. Instead of being scared of it, I'd suggest trying out a bunch of tools and seeing what you like to make you more powerful, I mean productive :P.

I mean, I built this Full Stack Splitwise app from scratch using just prompts and AI – no coding skills required! My Tech Stack - Next.js, ShadCN, Clerk, and all the bells and whistles. I'm blown away 🀯.

I also gave AI my design vision and it designed this beautiful app for me! If you want to learn more about how I did it, check out this videoπŸ‘‡.
