Couldnt agree more! amazing Testimony
I like this episode because everything felt so real. No hype, no bs. Full of pain and struggle that we can relate to. Thanks!
This is my first ever video on this channel and I absolutely love it. I appreciate David for sharing in detail and I wish him luck!
Thank you so much for sharing! Very inspiring story! One little remark - your music goes a little too loud at some parts, I'd make it much more subtle. But once again, super glad I bumped into your channel, I will go watch other videos ♡
Brilliant story and very insightful. Thanks to you and David for sharing this.
love the candid interview style we do interviews as well, very similar to this, but have to now been using lapel mics. what mic setup are you using? would you be willing to a) share a photo of the behind-the-scenes setup? b) share the exact mic/interface setup? excellent job on the multi-cam edits this is harder than you make it look Kudos
Great interview! Really shows what entrepreneurship is, the up's and down's you have the deal with. Feelings that persverance is so important, whereas 95% would have quit already, then ones that will be successful know it's part of the process.
Quite inspiring, i wish i had continued my idea execution persistantly (3 years back) . Great motivation!
I interviewed David for my own blog but it was way back when he'd only been going for 6 months. Super focused guy. Love to see these kind of success stories coming out of the no-code world, sure a lot of coders like to s*** on it but ultimately folks like David and I would not have been able to make our ideas reality without tools like Bubble.

Great work David! Thanks for sharing your story!
I really needed to watch this video! THANKS
No code is so powerful for launching a business. Great story!
Brilliant Story and Interview
Gives me confidence to be on my journey.thanks team🎉
For coders, remember the no-code solution was built b coders and underneath it generates code to make the stuffs work
Super inspiring especially to stretch your own itch! I will say though… the background looping music at the end of the video was very distracting.
I'm encouraged by this video, going from no coding to building a million dollar business is incredible. Weldone David.
where's the rest of the interview?
Quite the feat. Inspiring chap. Thanks for telling his story. *background music was a little distracting.

Interesting because I was thinking about learning a couple of no-code tools to build for my other primary project called Embassy Life in DC. It focuses mainly on international embassy and cultural events in the DC area. I was thinking of designing some sort of interactive map where one could upload activities in the form of bookmarks for the various embassies in the city. Users could create accounts and favorite them. Maybe have some sort of interactive way of incorporating Eventbrite into it? I'm not exactly sure but this is an inspirational example of what is possible with no-code tools since I am not a coder.

Can it be replaced by Microsoft Copilot?
has anyone tried to download that 52-idea report from the link? Have you received it? I haven't gotten anything.
wait, he launched with no code but did he hire developers afterwards? 5:30 he mentioned no code portion decreased over time

great video thank you
As a researcher in the space. Ensure you actually research trends. This is literally an API wrapper. I don't see how he can build anything off his initial product that an agent can't already do. Get your bag though. Dont worry models are coming which will make non-coders independent from openai API's.

The value is I'm having everything presetup and not having to do prompt engineering as he has the Domain knowledge which is a level A.I. hasn't reaches where it can easily do all this yet.
I am curious to ask if in the grand scheme it was worth it to call it excel formula bot in the begining for growth. Like would he recommend doing something like that and then just wait for a letter and change it.

what platform did he use?
You can tell this guy's attitude carried him hard. He strikes me as someone that hasn't moped longer than a day in his life.
How would this work with ChatGPT providing exactly the same features since underlying API is same? Any one can just use that API, right? Will Excel not swallow it all at one point of time?

I thought the same. But I think we underestimate availability. You hear about this bot than you use it. maybe you could use gpt but this version is much more convenient.
They don't seem like tech illiterates and "just by watching YT videos" guys ... this must be his 999th attempt at a micro tech startup.
how is this different then excel copilot?
Automating developers 💪
Im confused about the part where microsfot reached out to him to build the addon, arent they just building his app without him having any ownership of the ip?
@operandexpanse

Yes. Just Microsoft being predatory.
So how did he exactly make the $1 million? Since Microsoft build the add on? What was his model to earn money?
I don't know I think he should start saving and recoup the money because the breakneck speed with A.I the value for the things he currently offers will continue to decay and harder to get new subscribers since GPTs store launch and it can basically do it all but not everyone has GPT sub.
Sure🤙
this guy is awesome

So he was depending on OpenAi API so that can't be sustainable as they can just change something and your one man shop is 🔒 closed.
Means it works with no code
he started the idea in July 2022. The microsoft letter is from 2020. What's up?
So did he get screwed by Microsoft by letting them build his idea for free or is he in a better situation because of it?
Didnt receive the report brother!!!
you skipped the part where he told how he trained the AI with no code. how's that possible

If "no code" allows you to send a message to the GPT server then that is all you would need. You would just send a message that says: "Convert my text into a formula." This would make sure it doesn't respond with messages trying to flirt with users or something.
Microsoft CoPilot is in MS Excel now...
As always, such an inspiration 🎉
"The application has been around about a year and half" But the cease and desist letter from Microsoft is 2020? What is going on here?
Can't figure how he'd ever be able to build something non-replicable. Given the way intellectual property works, all competitors have to do is make some simple changes and voila, they've got their own. You'd need a patent thicket -- nothing a mere mortal could ever afford, let alone wait for. By the time you were granted the actual rights, these big tech giants would've zoomed far past you anyhow.

I believe he said that he went to 10% code. In other words he kept 90% of the no-code. Even if you do something no-code there is hidden computer generated code somewhere and professionals can tap into it and add code.
