🎥 DEV SPOTLIGHT
Featuring: Anders Dahl Rasmussen • Solo Founder
He Doesn't Code. AI Helps Him Build 14 Products — Anders Dahl Rasmussen
What happens when a non-technical founder decides to build software with AI?
Anders Dahl Rasmussen works as a trolley supervisor at Oslo Airport in Norway.
In his spare time, he builds SaaS products and tools with AI.
He doesn't consider himself a technical developer. Instead, he directs Claude, checks what it builds, learns along the way, and keeps iterating.
In just eight months, this approach has led him to build and experiment with 14 products and tools, including Review Reply, Invoice Chaser, Host AI, Stack Index AI and LLM PriceWatch.
In this Developer Spotlight, Tom Smith sits down with Anders to talk about what it's really like to build software with AI when you're not a traditional developer.
🎙️ In this conversation
- How Anders started building software with AI
- How Claude became his "dev guy"
- The importance of having hard rules when working with AI
- Why AI-generated software still needs a human in the loop
- What happened when a website appeared to be working but was actually broken
- How Anders built and experimented with 14 products
- Why some of his products attracted more interest than others
- Building with Cloudflare Workers while keeping costs low
- Using AI to generate and review SEO content
- His experiments with AI-powered customer outreach
- Why he shares his failures as well as his successes
- How he balances building products with his full-time job
- His advice for anyone who wants to build something on the side
One of Anders' biggest lessons is simple:
"You have to have some hard rules with your AI because AI makes mistakes."
And his advice to anyone with a day job who wants to build something?
"Go for it. But find something that interests you."
