I’ll believe this when YC accepts a non-technical confounding team using these agents to build their products.
As someone whose business's flagship app was built in Replit with help from LLMs, Amjad is way too optimistic. For anything more sophisticated than toy apps, you've got to have software architecting, system and database administering, and lots of software engineering expertise just to pose the right questions to the AI. We're getting there, but it will take at least a couple more years to get where Amjad describes as today.
As a software developer i find the title of this video surreal. IT IS JUST NOT TRUE THAT YOU CAN DEVELOP A SOFTWARE PRODUCT (EVEN A VERY SIMPLE ONE) AND DEPLOY IT WITH JUST AI.
I used Replit for the first time Yesterday and it Started spinning and got stock in some loop so had to stop it and redo some times o but Eventually it did Create my first LLM API integration and deployed it which made me really happy
Everyday people say everyone can now code but I am yet to see a single app that a non-developer has built with only LLM. Instead, my workload on upwork keeps climbing. Are these clients not aware they can build their apps with just LLM?😅
I haven't coded in almost 3 decades. Recently, I started using LLMs to write code. It's been fun, I mean REALLY fun because I remembered the days of coding freestyle. However, it has been frustrating too. There is no doubt that the more you know about the language, the faster it goes. I've spent 10+ hours trying to get something to work because of the limitations of LLMs and of course me. I have to prompt the LLMs correctly to reduce the development time and the coding errors. Also, I have to use multiple LLMs to accomplish the task. In my experience, the coding quality is in this order GPT o1 > Claude 3.5 > Gemini > Llama 3.1. If I get stuck in one, I switch to the other to fix the problem. Regardless, this beats learning a language when I just don't have time.
who is this content for? is YC accepting non-technical founders that make their apps with these tools now?
Commenters, the direction is more important than the snapshot. I used it on day 1 and was impressed but it wasn’t fully baked. But it’s a work in progress and this is going to learn faster than most people will. Make your decisions with the assumption that these tools get better every year. They might not out-code a top coder, bit a top coder with it is better than one without. And many businesses don’t have top coders.
This is an excellent roundtable discussion! Note that one of the speakers is talking about the difference between effective AGI and true AGI. It has become quite clear to many of us AI aficionados that effective AGI is just “a few thousand days away”
Is no one going to talk about the fact that these guys are all avatars? Unreal what is capable now.
I have aged out as a coder, but system architecture and understanding of data is an enduring skill. I would love to build a real application with AI, something with a database, user classes, interactive screens where users can add data, interact with data, and report data. One after another, the "application" examples in these videos are just wrappers around an AI conversation. That is not an application. It's a toy.
If every can code, no one can build a business out of it. ps: not everyone can code
This saves me like 5 second compared to just using Cursor AI that have been out for several months. The drawback is lock-in to replit, compared to Cursor AI that is just a good IDE over Claude Sonnet 3.5 and ChatGPT o1

I’ll be appearing on this channel in a couple of weeks as a YC founder Insha’Allah
AI driven agent-assistant will make engineers life less stressful and also help to spot a bug in a codebase in minutes instead of scrolling through hours
Everyone can code. What that means at this time is everyone can code simple apps with a minimal outlay of time and knowledge. I now use dozens of personalized apps I generated with AI, often completed before breakfast. Where I might have spent an afternoon making a spreadsheet, I now spend ten to twenty minutes prompting an AI. It's often faster and more reliable that trying to search for an app online that is full of SEO, ads, and unnecessary submit buttons that reload the page for more ads. Real devs can build apps with user logins, persistent state, and lots of features. But normies like me can now build a simple app that uses local storage, import and export buttons, and the exact features they need. There are so many people who sit around wishing someone would build an app that does one specific thing they need, but the apps either don't exist or the features are made for a broad market. Tools like this can serve those individuals.
25:00 bounty hunter system seems pretty cool, feels very "gig economy", I could see myself working on some features remotely for some other developers .. as long as I don't have to compete with other countries paid below minimum wage .. also reminds me of dark souls video games where you can summon other players to help you
Can you download the generated code or the database or host it elsewhere?
