The Thoughtful Entrepreneur 2299 - Building Software with Vibe Coding and Automation Strategies with We Live to Build's Sean Weisbrot
How AI and No-Code Tools Are Transforming Business: Insights from Sean Weisbrot of We Live to Build
Technology is evolving faster than ever, and businesses that don’t adapt risk falling behind. In this episode, host Josh Elledge interviews Sean Weisbrot, Founder and CEO of We Live to Build, to explore how artificial intelligence and no-code tools are revolutionizing business operations and software development. Sean, who has interviewed more than 260 founders and investors, shares powerful insights on how these tools are reshaping entrepreneurship, empowering non-technical founders, and creating scalable opportunities for growth.
Building Smarter, Faster, and More Accessible Businesses
Sean explains that AI is not just improving efficiency—it’s transforming how companies think and operate. From automating manual processes to enabling rapid data-driven decision-making, AI is now a core component of modern business strategy. Sean also discusses the mindset shift among founders who are embracing automation and using AI as a strategic partner, not just a productivity tool.
He introduces the concept of “vibe coding,” where AI is used to build and iterate software faster than ever before. Through tools like Cursor, Lovable, and Bubble, founders can now develop full-fledged applications in days, eliminating traditional barriers to innovation. These no-code and low-code platforms are democratizing access to technology, allowing visionaries without deep technical backgrounds to test ideas and build products with speed and confidence.
Sean emphasizes that while AI agents and automation offer incredible potential, success depends on customization, trusted implementation, and ethical use. He warns against one-size-fits-all solutions and stresses the importance of choosing partners who understand your business goals. His message to founders is clear—stay curious, experiment boldly, and use technology to create meaningful, scalable impact.
