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 don’t need to write code to build a startup.
You just need a clear idea — and a well-structured prompt.
Ramon’s 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
“I built a prompt framework so ChatGPT knows how to generate a working product — tailored to any idea I drop in.”
Ramon demoed three AI-generated mobile apps he built to teach and support others:
Prompting Guide – Teaches the tech stack behind mobile apps
AI Stack – Helps founders understand AI fundamentals
Prompt Episode – Generates a scaffolded MVP from one input prompt
He also previewed a woodworking assistant that will let users visualize and plan 3D builds — showing how AI can turn even weekend passions into digital products.
Ramon compared his favorite no-code tools:
Kiki.dev – Fast React Native scaffolding
A0.dev – Best for integrations and App Store deployment
Bolt.dev – Multiple frontend frameworks (Vue, React, etc.)
Zerp – Great for web/mobile conversions
“Each tool responds differently to the same prompt — so it’s about matching the platform to the problem.”

At this month’s Vibe Coding meetup, we explored how AI tools like Cursor can speed up projects—or derail them without clear direction. I shared the Renaissance City LaunchPad, a cultural shift and support ecosystem empowering community organizers to build, own, and sustain their own technology.
At our latest VibeCoding session, developers are bringing ideas to life with a shared mission: build tools that empower community.
At Black Tech Saturdays on July 22nd, 30 founders took the stage to share bold, community-rooted ideas—from wearable tech to solar-powered EV solutions. The event showcased Detroit’s grassroots innovation in action, with five standout winners leading the charge toward a more equitable future.
