At the July 14 VibeCoding meetup, Ramon Williams, CEO of Faire Rideshare and founder of The AI Standard, delivered a powerful message to non-technical founders:
You donât need to write code to build a startup.
You just need a clear idea â and a well-structured prompt.
Ramonâs entrepreneurial journey began in high school selling shoes on eBay and has grown to include real estate ventures, coffee roasting, and now two companies powered by AI and automation.
With The AI Standard, he helps non-technical entrepreneurs:
Design app architecture using custom AI prompt frameworks
Rapidly build MVPs using tools like Kiki.dev, A0.dev, Bolt, and Rork
Launch full-stack apps from a single structured input
âI built a prompt framework so ChatGPT knows how to generate a working product â tailored to any idea I drop in.â
Ramon demoed three AI-generated mobile apps he built to teach and support others:
Prompting Guide â Teaches the tech stack behind mobile apps
AI Stack â Helps founders understand AI fundamentals
Prompt Episode â Generates a scaffolded MVP from one input prompt
He also previewed a woodworking assistant that will let users visualize and plan 3D builds â showing how AI can turn even weekend passions into digital products.
Ramon compared his favorite no-code tools:
Kiki.dev â Fast React Native scaffolding
A0.dev â Best for integrations and App Store deployment
Bolt.dev â Multiple frontend frameworks (Vue, React, etc.)
Zerp â Great for web/mobile conversions
âEach tool responds differently to the same prompt â so itâs about matching the platform to the problem.â

Get notified when I publish new posts about building meaningful tech for real communities.
Last yearâs goals werenât about completionâthey were about accountability. Through reflection, failure, and realignment, I was reminded that the most enduring systems arenât defined by speed or scale, but by the values encoded into what we build.
Community tech is reaching a turning point â with mini-apps, embedded wallets powered by account abstraction, and x402 payments making seamless onboarding and real-world value exchange truly practical. Building Mystic Island at the inaugural Ethereum Worldâs Fair in Buenos Aires, and experiencing the cityâs blend of architectural grandeur and economic complexity, highlighted how this infrastructure can unlock new creative, community-driven economies. This post reflects on that moment and why it matters for Detroit and beyond.
Our first build session brought together new and returning contributors to share updates and project ideas.
