This Is the EASIEST Way to Build Apps With AI (We Tried It With 500+ People)
Wed Dec 03 2025
What You'll Get From This Episode
In this transformative episode of the Man on a Mission Show, hosts Tammy Ng and Adeline Ng sit down with two pioneering entrepreneurs and AI educators, Sherry Jiang (Founder & CEO of Peek Money) and Agrim Singh (Co-founder of Niyam.AI), who are redefining what it means to build in the age of artificial intelligence. Fresh from hosting the world's largest Cursor hackathon where over 150 AI-powered products were built in just 24 hours, Sherry and Agrim pull back the curtain on how AI is democratizing entrepreneurship, transforming the future of work, and empowering non-technical founders to build sophisticated applications without writing a single line of traditional code.
You'll discover:• Why the barrier between technical and non-technical founders has completely dissolved in the AI era• How to communicate effectively with AI tools like Cursor to build production-ready applications• The mindset shift from asking permission to asking forgiveness—and why high agency is the new currency• Why learning to code backwards (build first, understand fundamentals later) is now more effective than traditional computer science education• The real risks of building AI products too close to the model layer—and how to avoid getting replaced by OpenAI• Why founder-market fit matters infinitely more than product-market fit in today's landscape• How solo developers and small elite teams are now competing with multi-million dollar companies• The future of work: which jobs will thrive, which will disappear, and why high agency beats credentials every time• Why you don't need a CTO anymore to validate your startup idea (but when you might still want one)• The surprising truth about AI replacing jobs: it's not replacing roles, it's replacing excuses• How to build personal apps that solve your unique problems instead of conforming to one-size-fits-all SaaS solutions• Why joy and curiosity—not hustle culture—are the real secrets to sustainable entrepreneurship
Whether you're a non-technical founder who's been told you need a CTO, an aspiring entrepreneur wondering if you should learn to code, or a business leader trying to understand how AI will reshape your industry, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about building in 2025 and beyond.If this episode inspired you, don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon 🔔 for more conversations with builders who are redefining what's possible in the AI age.
