    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.

    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.

    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.

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.
