This week on AI Code Central, Caz & Charlie sit down with David Bressler, founder of FormulaBot, the AI tool that turns plain English into Excel formulas, charts, and full-blown data analysis. David shares how he built the MVP during paternity leave, survived a $5,000 API bill, dealt with Microsoft’s cease-and-desist letter, fended off copycats, and turned user emails into a product roadmap. From scrappy ESPN Excel ads to scaling past ChatGPT competition, David’s story is a masterclass in solopreneurship, scrappiness, and building AI that lasts.
