Hello all. It’s Ben again.  

When I come home from work, I usually use my personal laptop for watching movies or playing “Dungeons and Dragons.” (Have I ever tried to mislead you that I was cool?)

However, aspiring entrepreneurs around Nebraska, such as Phillip Koolhoven in Omaha, are using their computers more productively. Despite working alone, Koolhoven and other founders are using AI to vibe code their ventures into reality. No extensive software skills are required.

It’s almost like magic, huh? (Sorry, wanted to find another “Dungeons and Dragons” reference.) 

“AI has just allowed me to get into software development,” Koolhoven said. “Beyond the past couple years of trying to build and scrapping (coding attempts), before that, I had never thought of trying to develop an app or anything like that.”

While the talk around the ecosystem has been positive about vibe coding, such as enabling founders to quickly create prototypes and not require as much capital to get started, experts still encourage new builders to take caution.

“The world is now flooded with products that solve problems,” Don’t Panic Labs Managing Partner and Chief Operating Officer Bill Udell said. “And nobody’s given a lick of thought as how they actually go to market.”
