303. Before you build with AI: what every non-technical founder needs to know
What's in this episode
A security agency tested 5,000 apps built with Lovable, Replit, Base44 and Netlify. Every single one had vulnerabilities — including apps that were live, charging customers, and handling personal data. Sophia Matveeva is joined by Rags Vadali — former Google engineer, Meta product lead who launched Instagram filters to 600 million people, and CEO of AI startup Floto — for an honest expert conversation about what AI tools can and cannot do for your product right now. You'll learn: Why a product can look finished while being fundamentally unsafe What VCs now do when they see a vibe-coded product Why Apple is rejecting AI-built apps from the App Store When to call in developers in the age of AI (and why what they do for you has changed) This is not an episode about why AI tools are bad. It is about knowing where the line is — so you can use them on the right side of it.
