Building An App Live with AI – You Can Build With Me! Audio Only

You're best watching this as a video since we're live coding. Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/WDMcmxizoCI AI tools promise to write code for you, but what happens when the build fails? In this episode, we strip away the hype and dive into the gritty reality of AI-assisted software development. Using Antigravity and Flutter, we take on a major refactor of the open-source YourPods application: adding a private, local-only user account system. We start by prompting the agent to re-architect the authentication flow, then move into the trenches of implementation. You’ll see the entire process unedited—reviewing the AI's generated "PRD," troubleshooting over 190 analysis errors, and debugging cryptic Xcode build failures. We also explore the nuances of "human-in-the-loop" development, showing you how to guide the AI when it gets stuck and how to catch the subtle logic bugs it leaves behind. Whether you're a non-technical founder trying to build an MVP or a developer looking to optimize your workflow, this session offers a transparent blueprint for shipping features using modern AI agents.
