Making Internal Business Tools With AI

My session at the 10th Annual VBRC. A 40-minute walk through five small internal tools (inquiry form, mini CRM, field schedule, invoice generator, CSV dashboard) built for a fictional landscaping company. Watch the deck, then take the source for any of them and feed it to your AI of choice (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT) as a jumping-off point for your own.
