Founders love the idea of skipping engineers and letting AI code their dream app.

Sadly, that dream falls apart fast.

AI can write code, but it also hallucinates, breaks in production, and leaves you with messes you can’t fix if you're not a coder.

What looks like a shortcut turns into a costly detour.

In this episode, Sophia Matveeva shows you where AI really helps founders—and where it doesn’t.

You’ll learn how to use AI to design prototypes, validate features, and impress investors without blowing thousands on guesswork. And you’ll hear why scaling, security, and serious launches still require pros.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Why AI won’t replace developers — and what it actually does well for founders
  • How to turn an idea into a prototype that impresses users and investors
  • The hidden risks of “vibe coding” every non-technical founder should know
  • When to call in engineers, and how to avoid wasting money before you do
