Vadim is 18 years old, has zero coding experience, and just made $5,000 in his first month from an app he vibe coded using Claude Code. His app Vugola competes with Opus Clip, a company that raised $50 million, and he built the whole thing without writing a single line of code. We talk about how he built it, the AI tools he’s using to run his entire company with agents, and why he thinks every business needs to be built agentic-first.

  4. Ok, I vibe coded an app on Google AI Studio. I figured out how to get the API key with Google cloud and link the domain for hosting. I still couldn't understand what I was doing. 😆 Please thank the 18 year old for breaking it down to the 60 year old. 😆😆😆

  5. Props to this kid… but I can’t listen to this CAPSLOCK speak

  7. Great podcast! I see everybody is talking about AI agents heavily now. I need to check out the Hermes Agent this kid is talking about.

  11. Why did you end up with such a complicated and ( difficult to remember/pronounce ) business name? With your experience so far, would you recommend the next person to come up with a name to communicate and remember?

  12. Great interview! He is right on all fronts. We did the same thing. After spending 25 years as marketing agency owners, we got tired of spending more than $200/months on project management, CRM, leads/sales/pipeline, digital document signing and online meeting platforms. Not to mention things getting lost in the shuffle within our team and with clients. So, we built a comprehensive software platform that includes all of that in one tool. Now, we run our entire business in one system. We just launched it, and we are excited for the future!

  13. This kid is a genius! Lovable is MUCH better since they switched the AI builder to Claude. It is not cheap but it's MUCH cheaper than a team of developers that would take 10 times longer with a LOT more mistakes!

  15. ❤👏👏👏 This guy: Alex Finn is using a shared memory system for Hermes & OpenClaw Agents for using them together ❤ and he uses Hermes to monitor OpenClaw progress 😊 ✅

  16. Great! 👏👏👏bravo!!! ❤❤❤ Greg Isenberg has Paperclip founder showcasing the app. As the guy said, you need to set up the persistent memory system for OpenClaw, otherwise it’s very limited.

  19. Man this kid talks like he had 5 cups of coffee. LOL This kid is very sharp he's going to be big in his space.

  21. right now youtube clips the lives and push them to private listing! for sure if u develop an app an you market it as the ultimate solution people need you can sell subs if you are a marketer

  23. Could not continue watching the video because of the kid's rambling. Do not like non technical people try to sound technical. Ended up having Gemini summarize and extract the insights of this video.
