And I'm like, you spent all your time on functionality to make it look good, but never asked, does it actually deliver value for the customer?

So what I want to share with you is how to build an MVP that actually gets results, not just looks good.

Best part is you only have three options.

The last one's the most advanced, but it's where I spend most of my time.

The first is a no-code platform.

When you look into these tools like a Zapier or a Make.com or N8n,

Essentially, you can take any manual process using AI and automate it.

There's even tools like Go High Level that are CRM and funnel builders or things like Lovable where you can just type to it and it'll build apps that solve problems for customers.

The key is spend the least amount of time configuring your automation so that it gets a result for a customer.

If you have to do it manually first, so you just even learn the steps of how it needs to be automated, that's probably a better place to start than to just pay somebody to come in and build you something super custom encoded.

The second option is to use an AI-assisted code platform.

It's called the Gentic programming.

Those are tools like Replit or Cursor or Google's anti-gravity platform.

It's not as simple as just prompting like a lovable,

but it's way more configurable.

Every one of my engineers in my venture studio uses one of these platforms to write the code.

The third option is to hire an AI developer to build it for you.

Now, most people get burned because they hire somebody, they say they can build the thing, they give them all their money, and then all of a sudden the product they get back is crappy, buggy, or just doesn't work.

The best way to test for this is if you're gonna hire a developer, give them a tiny test project first.

I like to look on upwork.com or call my local college.
