Riley defo exposed a lot of gems here. I still think a beginner might struggle though, this is just easy to watch because I’ve already developed the skills through sheer trial and error over 1.5 years but yeah I guess a beginner just needs to get their feet wet. I created extremely modern heavy gpu server type SaaS projects as a literal nobody and through that time I learnt so much and landed huge financial contracts in just few months. This is the most pivotal time in history
An amazing episode. Never thought I will build, test and deploy an app in a day. You guys made it feel like a walk in the part, but trust me I was going back and forth many times to grasp everything. Thanks guys!
Greg, Riley ... you guys went and put me on a journey now. This is the second video of you two that I watched. I joined Riley's Software Composers community (awesome hub btw) and now I'm scouring the www for an app idea to start.
This is probably the most helpful video you've made so far. I'm in the process of building an app with cursor when this popped up and is saving me so much time. The tips for getting the api documentation and using that to set things up was a lifesaver.
I think a video that would get a lot of attention (at least I would definitely watch and rewatch) is a video that goes over from the perspective of a teen trying to make apps. I don't know how to code but Ive been coding study guides, ai to use on my crappy Chromebook, among other things. Love these videos!
Awesome video! What speech-to-text tool does Riley use? It did a great job of capturing the important things he was trying to say and not the filler words.
Another banger of a video! I am a bit technical and and been on top of the ai tools for the past 1 or 2 years and i think its a lot easier if you know the basics. It saves you a lot of infinite loops of errors if you know the basics.
Nice you are embracing the game! Clickbate to share the valuable videos! I am a fan! Thanks for the channel and your effort to churn out content and cookie shows as well! We love to learn how to bake a cookie!
Thanks so much for this video, it's really nice to follow along myself. The power that AI currently has, makes me a bit scared of what is yet to come... One remark: would it be possible to have the screen share of higher quality? It's a bit hard to read sometimes. Much appreciated!
Found it! This is amazing. The building apps with AI episodes have come so far from the first one with Riley like 6 months ago. That was really a paradigm shift for me.
AI being like Legos is spot on-it emphasizes the modular, iterative process . However, imo, while tools like Cursor simplify the process and enable newcomers to build exciting prototypes, scaling and maintaining robust AI applications still require a deeper understanding of development principles
Greg & Riley this was great. Is there anything that this could not build? I'd like to build an AI chatbot that can access an SQL database or large CSV file. Can it be done? I'm going to give it a shot over the weekend.
Hey Greg, when you get a chance would you be able to have an episode for those of us who are AI fatigued? 😅 It's cool if you can't do that. Just that some of us don't want to become read-only developers so we still hand craft but we also want to build businesses
on planet Earth there is not one website builder in 2025 that can build you a page with all needed option for any business. It cost four times more to operate a Shopify store than to operate a totally custom site.
FIrebase console isn't free right? free plan has features but google cloud console also have fees like $300 for API key! Any free available alternative?
Hey Greg , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos with good pricing & turnaround time and will also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach a wider audience ! Lmk what you think ?
The clickbaiting is almost to the level of trolling at this point. Your path didn't look anything like the "get rich now" content you have been pushing. I don't understand why- well, I guess I do- the algo.
I guess I see it differently. If Greg makes more money because he pulls in more people, and that lets him have great guest after great guest, put whatever title in you want. If the content becomes hype and fluff, then I’m with you, that would suck and then we get to chose to quit watching! Ty for the solid pod Greg.
If 50 more of these things come out, they will be like the search engines of the early 2000's. They all became free because no one could make money with them other than ad revenue
People say this about Cursor, they say it about windsurf, they say it about Aider. idk what to use anymore. It couldn't be harder for a beginner to get a straight answer on this, lol.
@ idk 🤷♂️ You’re not wrong. I teach 200 people in my Skool group how to code and I stay up to date like a fiend. I gave up all hobbies to pursue this. Doesn’t mean I know it all. But I’m a stranger on the internet so I’m giving you context to understand and weigh my opinion. Ultimately, I like cline because I can give it tools I build with MCPs. Not only that, but it reads entire files. Not only that but it’s free and just charges api costs. Just use deepseek for 80% of the coding and 20% switch to Claude.
I'm a professional dev. Don't do YOLO mode if you don't know what you are doing... It can be REALLY dangerous. If I were a non-technical I would learn some thins, for example, git high level is super important to move on, databases...
For example, you HAVE to learn how to run the server yourself too `npm run dev` close the servers, open them, refresh them. Developers KNOW how to open node server and what it does don't say "even developers". No dude.
None of these clickbait videos with some influencer who's gonna code toy apps will build a million dollar anything. Please have some wits about you n use common sense.. what they're selling is viewership, if you start believing creating a toy app in an hour will make you any money please think again
Did he just learn how to hot reload his code? Maybe Ang(?) should be the one fronting the business? Or the focus is that Riley knows nothing and he can make an app?
the promblem is you can not build a 1M$ app with AI, if somone is doing it, everyone is doing it, and it devalues apps to the point where they are cheap to make, cheep to run, and so many of them, you 1M$ idea is not worth the time. put more time into a business idea rather than wasting time on this concept.
When the world will always be filled with a new set of eyeballs waiting to be thrilled why not build your business around their imagination ~Jim Henson. In other words, if you cater to the novice you will always have a new set of customers who are willing to learn. These guys need a plan. This is a disaster

I'm a lead developer. Riley made this look too easy, not happy at all 😅❤. Great pod, Greg!

Please Bring on Riley as much as possible, Thanks Greg
I like how you disclosed that you just love to play and that you are no expert... Respect... One can't become an expert without playing.

Been using the cursor AI agent for the last week on trial. 100% worth it for novice coders
Greg and Riley, thank you for another great video!

Awesome video! What speech-to-text tool does Riley use? It did a great job of capturing the important things he was trying to say and not the filler words.
This tutorial is a goldmine @Greg Isenberg ! 🚀 Building an AI app with Cursor, Firebase and Vercel has never been easier.
Such a dope video. Awesome content.
He speaking facts. Since December cursor been game changer.
Built a true innovation & shipped to production
Another banger of a video! I am a bit technical and and been on top of the ai tools for the past 1 or 2 years and i think its a lot easier if you know the basics. It saves you a lot of infinite loops of errors if you know the basics.
Thank you to both of you for this. Huge, and espacially the deployment part. Very very very good content.
I have been using cursor like this, amazing job RILEY
thanks guys, another great vid, appreciate the troubleshooting.
Just started watching but I know it is going to be great! Greg you are a star!
ayeeee
Thanks, Riiley and Greg (I had you for 34). I got a lot of this episode. Looking forward to playing with Mt Cursor.
Phenomenal. Just amazing. Thank you so very much!
damn this is like my two favorite people in the space collabing
Great One
I was pretty sure you’d say no I don’t have time. When he asked for deployment. Glad you did it, that was kind of a last piece of puzzle for me.
Greg, I would love to see a guest that has experience scaling products originally built with AI and heat their journey and impressions
I m here Greg!!
yessss
Well in the next episode I hope you show how to build an actual AI Agent!
Nice you are embracing the game! Clickbate to share the valuable videos!
I am a fan! Thanks for the channel and your effort to churn out content and cookie shows as well!

what is the clipboard manager he uses? And the Voice to text app
I like it!
how do you add yolo mode to the composer?
Found it! This is amazing. The building apps with AI episodes have come so far from the first one with Riley like 6 months ago. That was really a paradigm shift for me.
Question- every command in cursor/windsurf costs money, right? Do you know how the cost is calculated? Is it per command or per object change?
@@RITOBANBHAT less than 1$ I believe
For whole project
@@rileybrownai wow, that’s awesome!

Why not deploy with firebase as well, why choose vercel?
because, its easier, but not better ;)
Sippin timeeeeee

In future I wish api r like extensions u download and can use it
So this is the building but what about the monetization?
It's honestly pretty difficult with AI but we will build template to make it easy. Just need some more time
The clickbaiting is almost to the level of trolling at this point. Your path didn't look anything like the "get rich now" content you have been pushing. I don't understand why- well, I guess I do- the algo.
It’s sad really. A guy like Greg has so much value to offer but chooses to push get rich quick content. It seems like an addiction honestly.
I guess I see it differently.
If Greg makes more money because he pulls in more people, and that lets him have great guest after great guest, put whatever title in you want.

If the app is really worth $1mil you should be able to sell it for $1mil..
this is so stupid lol using a paid api what the f
So show me the 1 mil them you made hahah these click baitvideos. You just use open ai api. Not that special.
