Riley Brown

Riley Brown is one of the most visible advocates for AI-first development. He raised $9 million for his vibe coding platform, proving that building with AI tools isn't just a hobby but a venture-scale business opportunity. His approach is radically simple: use Claude Code to build everything from Mac apps to CLI tools to mobile apps to websites, all without writing a single line of code. His demonstrations of Claude Code's capabilities have gone viral on X and LinkedIn, showing what's possible when you fully commit to AI-assisted development. Beyond building, Riley is a prolific content creator. His tutorials cover Claude Code setup, using it as a general agent for research and content, integrating with Obsidian, deploying with Vercel and Firebase, and more. He treats Claude Code not just as a coding tool but as the best general agent in the world.
