**Jackson:** Hey everyone! Welcome to another episode of Tech Horizons. I'm Jackson, and today I'm joined by the always insightful Lena to talk about something that's been on so many people's minds lately—how to start building apps with AI, even if you've never written a line of code before.
**Lena:** Thanks, Jackson! You know, it's fascinating how the landscape has completely transformed. According to Forbes Advisor, last year 97% of founders believed AI would help their business, and they were right—72% of organizations have now adopted AI in at least one business operation.
**Jackson:** That's a huge number! But I imagine many listeners are thinking, "That sounds great, but isn't building AI apps still just for developers and tech companies?"
**Lena:** That's exactly what's changing so dramatically. Andrew Ng just launched a course showing how anyone can build a working web app in under 30 minutes using AI tools. No coding required—just describing what you want in plain English.
**Jackson:** Wait, seriously? Under 30 minutes? That seems almost too good to be true.
**Lena:** I know it sounds wild, but we're seeing non-technical people build and ship tools faster than some traditional dev teams can even write specifications! The real barrier isn't learning syntax anymore—it's having a clear vision of what you want to build.
**Jackson:** This could be revolutionary for entrepreneurs and small businesses. So let's dive into the different approaches to building AI apps and the tools that are making this possible for everyone...
