Meet Bethany Hunt, a stay-at-home mom who first started vibe-coding 8 weeks ago and has already built 8+ mobile apps, with several more on the way.

A lifelong computer enthusiast but never a software engineer herself, Bethany has had a decade+ wishlist of apps that she'd like to use but that have never appeared on the App Store or Google Play. (Or, even worse, they were only available as secondary features within some bundled suites requiring a cloud account, a monthly subscription, a willingness to endure ads every 30 seconds, etc.)

So, hearing about the coding capabilities of GPT and Claude, Bethany decided that the best way to see something done is to do it yourself.

Armed with these tools, plus a powerful innate intellect and an unrelenting tenacity, Bethany built "Shelf Scan", an augmented-reality app that uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to enable your phone's camera to find a specific book on a shelf of hundreds.

With the successful creation of "Shelf Scan", Bethany went on to create several more apps, such as a tool to keep track of items you've loaned out to friends, and a personal log of post-meal health issues to help you find potential food allergies.

She's launched Ulix, a one-person startup through which she can market and sell these apps.

Hear her story! Listen to her describe how she learned to use these tools, and the process she uses for creating her own apps. It's a remarkable tale of how someone with ideas, ingenuity, and patience can truly create something from nothing with the help of AI.
