AI for Founders with Ryan Estes Vibe Coders Rejoice
Today’s episode starts with a simple but brutal truth:
Vibe coding breaks the moment your idea gets bigger than “make the button blue.”
Every founder knows this moment — when you’ve stretched Lovable, Cursor, or Claude Code as far as your vibes can take you… and suddenly the whole thing collapses under unclear prompts, messy code, and your total inability to explain what you want in the first place.
Well, today’s guest built the fix.
I’m talking with Tyler Wells, co-founder of BrainGrid.ai, the platform powering over 2,000 AI builders and 10,000+ shipped features by turning messy human ideas into precise, AI-ready specs, tasks, and prompts.
If you’ve ever wondered how non-technical founders are suddenly shipping multi-tenant SaaS apps, or how senior engineers are spinning up six agents at once without imploding a repo, this is your episode.
We get into:
how BrainGrid builds the missing planning layer of AI development
why your prompts suck and how to fix them
how founders with zero engineering background are shipping real products
and the future of “anyone with an idea can actually build it” software
This episode is for vibe coders, indie hackers, AI-native SaaS founders, and anyone who has ever thought:
“Wait… can I seriously build this myself?”
Spoiler: yes. And Tyler shows you how.
