AI just unlocked the ability for anyone to build custom web tools, obliterating the traditional $10k price tag and months-long waits. In this episode, we dive deep into "AI Vibe Coding"—the groundbreaking approach letting you command AI to build functional web applications like interactive calculators and custom features, often faster than writing the spec. We reveal the practical techniques—rarely shown step-by-step—including crafting AI-driven PRDs and using conversational prompts to generate and refine code, even if you've never touched code before. From building lead-generating calculators to deploying interactive tools directly onto your site with platforms like Gemini, Lovable, and Windsurf, we share exactly how solopreneurs and marketers can implement this today. We explore the shift away from traditional development, the surprising power now in non-coders' hands, and why interactive AI-built features are the future of websites. ____________________________________________ A special thanks to our sponsors for this episode, Bento, our new favorite email tool.
