Episode 199 : I Built an Amazon Tool With AI in 45 Min (No Coding)

I built a fully working Chrome extension for Amazon sellers in under 45 minutes using Claude AI — and I have zero coding experience. Watch me go from idea to finished product completely live, no cuts. The extension is called Replen Scout. It overlays a profit calculator directly onto any Keepa product page, auto-pulls FBA fees (pick & pack, referral fee), calculates your net profit, margin, and ROI, and draws a live break-even line on the Keepa chart — shading everything above it green and below it red. No coding. No developer. Just AI and 45 minutes.
