Dive into Building an App

Kyle (CEO/president) and Matthew (senior developer) recap a technical webinar on building custom applications and how new tools and AI have made proving, validating, and delivering apps more accessible. Matthew’s key takeaway is boosting confidence for those intimidated to start, offering a primer on what questions to ask next and reminding viewers the team can help. They discuss when to involve more technical resources, especially before going company-wide, touching production data, or becoming part of a workflow, so risk, support, and maintenance are addressed. Common roadblocks include the learning curve, rapid tool changes, and needing enough foundational understanding even if you don’t read code. They note AI accelerates strong developers rather than replacing them, improving troubleshooting and output. They expect the webinar’s core principles to remain relevant as tools improve, and encourage experimentation and internal forums for sharing AI learnings. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:08 Webinar Elevator Pitch 01:07 Building Apps Series Recap 02:17 When to Bring Developers 04:37 Common Roadblocks 09:25 AI as Developer Multiplier 13:15 Will It Still Matter 16:31 Just Start Experimenting 17:48 Build an Internal Forum 19:00 Wrap Up and Next Steps Catch the full webinar right here: https://www.citsolutions.net/events/webinars/ai-starter-series/
