Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Corey Pierson about his journey building a SaaS application, PetDocument, entirely with AI without any prior coding experience.

We dive into how he leveraged AI tools like Lovable AI to turn a "fairy tale business idea" into a live, functional platform at petdocument.com, solving a real-world problem for pet owners.

Learn about his experience using natural language prompting instead of traditional coding and how he navigated the process from idea to launch in a matter of months.

Questions This Episode Answers:
What's your business and how are you using AI?
What is your professional background?
Did you have any prior coding experience?
How did you actually build this SaaS platform?
How long did the entire building process take?
Enjoy the conversation!
