I built a product that would have cost $250K with a traditional agency.
It took me a couple weeks. Not months. Not a massive team.
Here's exactly how (and why it matters for your business):
🧵
---
The product: Archa Flow — a full project management platform for architecture firms.
Complex dashboards. Client portals. Project timelines. Document management. The whole thing.
An agency would quote this at $300-400K and 12+ months.
I did it differently.
---
Step 1: I designed every screen in Figma FIRST.
Not wireframes. Not rough sketches. Full, detailed UI.
This is the step most people skip. They jump straight to code and wonder why they rebuild 3 times.
Design is the blueprint. Without it, you're building blind.
---
Step 2: I used AI tools to build what I designed.
Claude Code turned my Figma designs into a working product.
Not a prototype. Not a demo. A real, functional application.
Because I knew exactly what I wanted (from the designs), the AI could execute precisely.
---
Step 3: I applied years of startup experience to every decision.
I've been through multiple startups. I've managed dev teams globally. I've shipped products from zero.
Knowing the full path — idea to design to development to marketing — means no wasted steps.
Every decision was intentional.
---
Why this matters for YOUR business:
The economics of building software have fundamentally changed.
→ Custom tools that automate your manual processes
→ Internal software that saves your team hours/week
→ Customer-facing products that generate revenue
All of this is now 10x faster and a fraction of the old cost.
---
The old way: Hire an agency. $250K. 6-9 months. Hope they understand your vision.
The new way: Work with someone who designs, builds with AI, and ships end-to-end. Weeks, not months. A fraction of the cost.
This isn't theoretical. I'm living proof.
---
I'm now doing this for other businesses.
If you have an idea for a tool, app, or platform — or you're bleeding money on manual processes that should be automated:
DM me. I'll tell you honestly if I can help and what it would take.

It's incredible to think that one man @elonmusk propelled the human race by 100's of years technologically. It's incredible to be alive at the same time as him.
Who's running the government, lol? The government making an arcade site wasn't on my bingo card.

I think this is a genius move for @bot. What are your thoughts?
This is an insane move! Having the best model available to do a task is going to change the game. I think this is a brilliant move from the @bot team.
86% of companies want AI.
Only 14% have actually shipped it.
That gap is the whole business at ArchaFlow. We build custom AI agents for trades, professional services, and back offices, then run them for you.
First win live in week one.

New site. Same studio. Dot-matrix everything.
Websites, custom software, and AI features for small companies, built AI-native.
Bonus: there's a game in the footer. Catch the red dot and I'll be impressed.
@CodelessConsult Thanks for the like! It's good seeing Jared's support each other lol 🤣

Wanted to see if Jev by @typesafeai could make our product's search understand what people actually mean. @FromTheFarmUSA
Pretty impressive. Still a lot of fine-tuning to do, but it's already a much better experience. 👇
