    Low-code Prototypes to Production 🚀

    The essential step for any non-technical user moving a prototype from an AI-assisted or low-code tool like Lovable, Bolt, or v0 to a production environment is to export the generated source code and commit it to a standard version control platform like GitHub. Once the code is on GitHub, you can leverage the Continuous Deployment (CD) features of robust cloud providers: use Firebase Hosting/Google Cloud for tight integration with database and authentication services; select AWS Amplify for a managed, scalable solution within the comprehensive AWS ecosystem; or choose Vercel for the fastest deployment of modern web applications. Regardless of the platform, the paramount best practice is to manage sensitive data (secrets) securely by using the platform’s native tools - like Vercel Environment Variables, AWS Secrets Manager, or Google Secret Manager - to inject credentials during the build process, ensuring they are never hardcoded or committed to the public code repository, thereby achieving a secure and scalable path to production.

    [Podcast] AI Now Thinks, Learns, and Acts on Its Own

    AI has evolved beyond spell-checking and smart replies to become integral across industries, serving as associates, colleagues, and sometimes even bosses. Students, engineers, and executives now use AI as a sophisticated thought partner for brainstorming, planning, and revising ideas before finalizing them. But can AI capabilities be truly democratized and evenly distributed to everyone, everywhere? YouTube: Get full access to Chukwuma’s Substack at chukwuman.substack.com/subscribe

    [Podcast] Why Most Founders Build Products, Not Businesses

    Most founders follow a predictable pattern: they have a brilliant insight, build an impressive MVP, secure funding, and then spend the next two years desperately trying to force their product onto an unwilling market. The harsh reality is that no matter how polished, functional, or technically sophisticated your product is, it means nothing if it doesn't solve real, practical human problems. Too many startups fold or burn through investor funds because they never made the crucial transition from having a product to running a business, and that transition happens when someone is willing to exchange money for the value you provide. Before you build your next MVP, ask yourself: How does this fit into people's natural, everyday experiences? What practical problem am I solving? If you can't answer these questions convincingly, you're building a product, not a business, and that's why most founders fail.

  8. The Agent Economy

    17/06/2025

    The Agent Economy

    In Web 2.0’s fundamental equation: Revenue scales directly with Visibility. The math was simple: R = uV, where u represents brand influence over visibility scope. This is why businesses and brands pay significant sums for ads, marketing, influencers, and notable personalities. The Agent Economy breaks this equation. The entire internet will need to undergo significant changes for AI agents (and humanoids) to flourish, including: * OAuth for agents, semantic service discovery protocols, trust scoring mechanisms, and data transfer protocols. * Privacy and Security Mechanisms * Brand and Person Representation, Identification, and Discovery. Examples include: Real-time detection of services, finding other agents to transact with, and being discovered by agents (a platform-like space) When everyone has an agent or a form of digital representation, brands and businesses wouldn’t need to sell directly to humans, but to their agents — hence the need for a new type of platform. So, while Web 2.0 giants may have won the platform war and solved business/human-to-human/business discovery, no one has figured out the ideal platform(s) for an Agent Economy that provides business/agent-to-agent/business discovery and transaction mechanisms. There’s a first-mover advantage towards Business Monopoly (think Zero to One, by Peter Thiel) for anyone who starts building for the next iteration of the Web and the Agent Economy.
