Learn how to accelerate your MVP development with AI-powered tools and proven strategies from real builders on Built This Week.
The game has changed for indie founders.
You don't need a big team or months of development to launch a viable product anymore. Today, you need speed, focus, and the right AI tools to build your MVP fast and test your idea with real users.
Let's be honest. Waiting weeks or months to validate your product slows everything down. You want to ship, learn, and iterate as quickly as possible.
That's exactly what we focus on every week at Built This Week. Sam and Jordan from Ryz Labs show real-time builds and honest reviews of AI tools that help founders like you develop MVPs rapidly and smartly.
Here's how today's indie founders are using AI to move faster and build real MVPs that get results.
MVP development often gets stuck in coding bottlenecks. That's why smart founders turn to GitHub Copilot and Cursor to speed up writing boilerplate and complex functions.
These AI coding assistants help you prototype features in hours instead of days.
Why we use them: They reduce the mental load and let you ship working code faster without sacrificing quality.
You don't always need to build from scratch. Platforms like Webflow, Bubble, and Figma-to-Code converters let you spin up working MVPs without deep coding.
Why we use them: Speed and flexibility to test UI/UX hypotheses without waiting for a developer cycle.
One huge MVP bottleneck is writing landing pages, emails, and app copy. AI writing tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, and Copy.ai let you generate marketing copy fast.
Why we use them: They help you quickly produce quality text that converts, so you keep momentum.
Using platforms like Vercel and Netlify, you can deploy your MVP instantly with zero config.
Why we use them: Instant deployment means whatever you build shows up live and ready for feedback right now.
Rapid development is pointless without user feedback. Tools like Hotjar, Google Analytics, and Mixpanel help you collect real-time data.
Why we use them: They let you validate hypotheses quickly and adjust your MVP before spending resources refining the wrong features.
Every week on the podcast, Sam and Jordan build live with these exact tools.
They walk through code, deploy MVPs in days, and dissect what worked or failed.
This transparent, fast-paced approach is a blueprint for rapid MVP development you can replicate.
Speed is your unfair advantage.
The faster you launch a testable product, the sooner you learn what customers want.
That's the core of the Built This Week philosophy - ship often, iterate fast, and stop guessing.
Get your MVP live quicker. Get real feedback. Build what matters.
