Build the business tools I kept putting off, with AI planning and the AI building
A marketing-business owner who is not a developer used AI for strategy, planning and technical thinking and the AI to build, with himself making decisions and testing in the middle. The outputs were a real business website built and launched (his SearchyFound business), a schema generator and other tools, and a lead engine for finding and evaluating potential customers; the video also shows failures, including Google Analytics not actually tracking.
