Discover why development costs are dropping, opening doors for more complex projects while pros who understand nuances will thrive.

What We Do: Building Web Apps with Low-Code Tools

"We are a basically a low code dev house and that is really cool but the thing about low code app development that I'm sure you're well aware of is that it came around really quickly, changed the game, and now AI has come around and is also very much changing the game."

From Traditional Dev to Webflow and Xano

"Two years ago I think it was one of the quickest or best ways to build scalable software you know for companies you know and our clients can say that you know they are making a lot of money out of the web apps that we have built for them and now just as you said man you know I don't I know if I have this in my in my heart the belief that this is the best way to keep building things. Things are changing Claude Code has definitely changed the game man."

The Rise of AI: Impact on Low-Code Development

"My syntax knowledge is garbage. I can write HTML and CSS with my eyes closed. Not that that's too useful anymore, but I can. JavaScript is where the problem comes in. My JavaScript syntax knowledge is terrible. And so when I was building with Whiz, I basically had a ChatGPT window open."

Personal Journey: Switching to Cursor and Claude Code

"You know it's all good even though there's Claude Code right now I wouldn't say that doesn't need to happen for every every one of your clients. Things are working for them obviously, you want to keep those clients, you want to improve their websites, you want to keep making the best for them."

Navigating the AI Switch for Agencies

"We have a team of 15 people, we have plenty of clients that we are working on this tag. I want to be honest with them. You know, this is something that I'm doing currently in the agency. I'm jumping into personal calls to each one of my clients. You know, this is what you need to be aware of."

Advice for Webflow Developers in the AI Era

"Webflow isn't going anywhere. Period. Anyone watching this, you're a Webflow developer, you don't need to be worried that all of your clients are going to just drop off all of the sudden because now they can build things with AI. It's not going to happen. Anyone who's telling you that's going to happen is probably just trying to sell you something."

Future of Development Costs and Opportunities

"It's going to teach you a lot of things about how to build products. And I know using cloud code has taught me a ton about development, about security."
