54. My Daughter Built a AI Website Business, Claude Design First Look & Going All-In on Cloudflare

Kieran's seven-year-old daughter just started a web design business. Using Claude Code's voice mode, she built her own site, deployed it to Vercel, landed her first clients, and delivered a custom football website — all with zero coding knowledge. It's one of the best examples yet of what vibe coding makes possible. From there, James and Kieran get into Claude Design — Anthropic's brand new design tool that already outperformed Google Stitch, Figma Make, and even Claude Code in a head-to-head landing page test. They break down how it works, what the design system approach means, and why it could become a serious Figma competitor. They also cover the growing conversation around API key security in the age of AI agents, Cloudflare's AI week including their new transactional email service and why it's becoming the go-to platform for AI builders, and BuildPrint bringing Claude Code-level agentic development to Bubble. 🎟️ Create With Conference — June 25th, Brighton — advance tickets £49 👉 createwith.com🎉 After party on the beach just announced!

53. Why Your Vibe Code Needs Tests, Ditching SaaS & AI Agents That Work While You Sleep

James and Kieran get into the practical, unglamorous side of building software with AI that nobody seems to talk about. After a HubSpot integration silently broke his video testimonial app in front of a client, Kieran shares his journey into writing automated tests, and how Claude wrote a full test suite in five minutes that would have taken a developer a week. They also cover replacing paid SaaS tools with custom-built alternatives (blogging platforms, course hosting, even a video-to-scope tool for freelance clients), why Convex is generating buzz as a Supabase alternative, how Apple and Shopify app stores are buckling under the wave of AI-generated submissions, and running OpenClaw agents autonomously in Slack as a marketing team of one. Plus a first look at Anthropic's brand new scheduled tasks feature and what it means for running AI workflows without keeping your laptop open. Topics covered: * Writing tests for vibe-coded apps * Convex vs Supabase * App store review bottlenecks * Replacing SaaS subscriptions with your own builds * OpenClaw as an autonomous marketing agent * Anthropic's scheduled tasks * The rise of solo founders 🎟️ Create With Conference — June 25th, Brighton👉 createwith.com

50. Claude Code Is Eating No-Code

After years of building with no-code tools, we've crossed the threshold. Claude Code has fundamentally changed how we build software - and we're all in.
