Yo! I'm ian, and I learn how to build stuff with AI by actually building stuff with AI. I'm technically non-technical but with agents like Claude and Codex and a bit of agency, you don't need to be technical*.
I've built and sold a bunch of companies (both AI and non-AI products). Here are a few of them:
- Playbooks - MCP directory + ??? (still figuring it out)
- MCP Boilerplate - an MCP server starter kit
- Clever Bytes - Printable worksheets for teachers (acquired)
- Visual Fractions - math calculators for students (acquired)
- Cuppa - the OG chatgpt blog post writer (acquired)
- Keyword Metrics - content audit tool for better seo (acquired)
- URL Monitor - get pages indexed in google (acquired)
- Practical Programmatic - seo course with over 1,500 students (acquired)
*as long as you learn best practices (like security) as you go
