40 minutes. 1 voice agent. 1 video ad. Zero code. We did it live on the podcast. @samruddhi_mokal (Pace Labz) came on and built an entire business from scratch while we recorded. She used VO3.1 to generate a video ad that would cost tens of thousands at a production agency. Then one prompt in Claude Desktop and a working voice agent was live on VAPI, answering calls and converting customers for a premium dog food company. Start to finish, 40 minutes. The thing that changed how I think about software: the interface is becoming irrelevant. You tell Claude what you want. Claude goes into VAPI, Smithery, or Gamma and builds it. You never have to learn the tools. Your agent learns them for you. We also got into why the biggest AI opportunity right now might be people with 20 years of industry knowledge who just haven't added AI yet.

Season 2 of This New Way is HERE 🚀 We're kicking off with a guest who's redefining what it means to be AI-native. Meet @amirmxt - entrepreneur, builder, and the guy whose co-founder is an AI agent named Pixel who lives in Slack and creates Linear tickets. In our Season 2 premiere, Amir pulls back the curtain on: - How his 2-person team ships 99% AI-generated code - The AI fluency framework every company needs to stop measuring the wrong metrics - Why design, PM, and engineering roles are converging faster than you think Amir walks us through live demos - from screenshot to working code in 3 minutes, building style guides from existing UI, and creating comprehensive PRDs with custom prompts. This isn't just about using AI tools. It's about fundamentally rethinking how companies operate. Episode is live now on YouTube: youtu.be/74jd76CQdJQ?si…
