Episode 50: Building With AI — Real Tools, Live Demos, and the Future of the Builder Stack
This is episode 50, and we're doing something a bit different. Less interview, more build session — live demos, real tools, and some honest takes on where AI is actually at right now.
Chris and Mark dig into what it looks like to genuinely build with AI in 2025: from controlling Claude Code remotely via your phone, to migrating from ChatGPT to Claude live on camera, to showing tools they've actually shipped — a custom stock analytics dashboard, a desktop activity tracker, and a community knowledge platform built using Manus.
They also get into the debate you're probably seeing everywhere: is vibe coding a threat to real development knowledge? Or is this just the calculator moment all over again? Plus — is the SaaS apocalypse real, and what does it mean for the tools you're paying for today?
In this episode:
- Claude Code remote control — build from your phone while you're between meetings
- The vibe coder's workflow hack that turns voice notes into working prototypes
- Live migration: ChatGPT to Claude — what actually transfers (and what doesn't)
- Claude vs ChatGPT: why sycophancy matters more than people think
- The AI knowledge retention debate — and why it's more nuanced than the headlines
- Real tools built with Claude Code and Manus: market tracker, activity tracker, pitch decks
- World Monitor — what someone built with open source tools to track global conflict
Tools mentioned: Claude Code, Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT, OpenAI, Bolt, Manus, Stackblitz, Gemini, NotebookLM, Yahoo Finance, Canva, Relevance AI, Build Club
