How to go from "chatting with AI" to building with AI (even if you've never written code):

Step 1: Pick one task you do manually every week.

Step 2: Describe it to Claude in plain language. Inputs, steps, output.

Step 3: Ask Claude to build it as the simplest possible tool.

Step 4: It will break. Paste the error back. Let Claude fix it.

Step 5: Deploy on Vercel (free tier). Done.

Total time: 2-4 hours for your first working tool.

I did this with my content scheduling pipeline. It's ugly. It works every single day.
