AI Co-Builder — Leonard wouldn't ship this


Listen Later

AI Co-Builder promises to build business apps that actually work. They charge you to describe what you need and get a broken app in return — it's like paying a restaurant to cook you food that's still frozen in the middle. | Dan Shipper runs a company with 100% AI-written code and explicitly states that conventional SaaS apps are impossible for non-technical users beyond demos. These people literally live and breathe AI, and even they say what AI Co-Builder promises can't be done. | Even Bolt's founder admits the most successful non-developer users are people with PM-level skills who understand technology deeply enough to direct developers. AI Co-Builder's "describe what you need" pitch collapses the moment you realize their target market needs to already know how to build software.
