Hi Chandru. Hi. Hello sir. Hi. So um uh I have a few questions um about certain
I have a few questions um about certain terms that are being used today. So uh
terms that are being used today. So uh in in the environment and one of the
in in the environment and one of the terms that um is being used widely is
terms that um is being used widely is about wipe coding. So I want to
about wipe coding. So I want to understand from you what exactly is wipe
understand from you what exactly is wipe coding?
coding? Yeah thanks for asking that. I think
Yeah thanks for asking that. I think wipe coding is now the word of the year.
wipe coding is now the word of the year. Uh almost every developer worldwide and
Uh almost every developer worldwide and even a non developer or what we call as
even a non developer or what we call as business people are adapting to w coding
business people are adapting to w coding in a big way. Um w coding as a term was
in a big way. Um w coding as a term was uh made famous by Andra Karpati one of
uh made famous by Andra Karpati one of the leading artificial intelligence
the leading artificial intelligence experts. um uh he had mentioned if I
experts. um uh he had mentioned if I recall correctly in a uh tweet uh or on
recall correctly in a uh tweet uh or on the x.com
the x.com uh site and people rapidly took to that.
uh site and people rapidly took to that. So in a very simple way it refers to
So in a very simple way it refers to prompting the uh artificial intelligent
prompting the uh artificial intelligent agent to develop apps uh website apps or
agent to develop apps uh website apps or you know mobile apps or websites. Um and
you know mobile apps or websites. Um and it has slowly evolved today to mean that
it has slowly evolved today to mean that you can just chat in simple English and
you can just chat in simple English and achieve more sophisticated
achieve more sophisticated uh technical work. So let's say you want
uh technical work. So let's say you want to develop a website. Um earlier we used
to develop a website. Um earlier we used to you know sort of uh use lot of HTML,
to you know sort of uh use lot of HTML, CSS and other types of coding
CSS and other types of coding JavaScript.
JavaScript. Now it is possible to uh do lot of this
Now it is possible to uh do lot of this work by just inputting in like a chat
work by just inputting in like a chat interface with you know u these various
interface with you know u these various agents right as we go along I'll also
agents right as we go along I'll also mention about some of these agents. Um
mention about some of these agents. Um so that's sort of the background of what
so that's sort of the background of what is wipe coding and how it originated.
is wipe coding and how it originated. Okay. So very interesting but um I know
Okay. So very interesting but um I know you're a founder who has been using w
you're a founder who has been using w coding quite extensively. So is it as
coding quite extensively. So is it as easy as it sounds
easy as it sounds to do?
to do? Okay. See as with any new technology um
Okay. See as with any new technology um there is a you know right there are
there is a you know right there are multiple stages for a technology to get
multiple stages for a technology to get matured and uh we are seeing that with
matured and uh we are seeing that with rapidly with artificial intelligence
rapidly with artificial intelligence field and what you're raising is a very
field and what you're raising is a very important question and actually turned
important question and actually turned out to a big uh debate on many social
out to a big uh debate on many social media channels as well and even between
media channels as well and even between some of the top experts. Um now we I
some of the top experts. Um now we I would say are probably at the very very
would say are probably at the very very initial stages. So is it easy? Yes, it
initial stages. So is it easy? Yes, it is quite easy. Uh is it tough? actually
is quite easy. Uh is it tough? actually speaking ironically it is also tough at
speaking ironically it is also tough at the same time and people are finding
the same time and people are finding that out right and uh you know the what
that out right and uh you know the what we call as the old god right I mean the
we call as the old god right I mean the developers who spent many years they
developers who spent many years they sort of uh are not uh what you can call
sort of uh are not uh what you can call convinced that this can develop more
convinced that this can develop more sophisticated apps let's say connect to
sophisticated apps let's say connect to databases and come out with let's say
databases and come out with let's say e-commerce sites and more sophisticated
e-commerce sites and more sophisticated functionality
functionality so the uh whole you know thing around
so the uh whole you know thing around white coding has been that people have
white coding has been that people have started trying these agents are also
started trying these agents are also improving as we keep developing and it's
improving as we keep developing and it's today possible to actually come up with
today possible to actually come up with quite I would say very modern looking
quite I would say very modern looking websites more uh I would say website
websites more uh I would say website pages probably even apps right
pages probably even apps right but in terms of maturity it stops there
but in terms of maturity it stops there afterwards wipe coders do face lot of
afterwards wipe coders do face lot of challenges in terms of know bugs coming
challenges in terms of know bugs coming up the agent is not able to really uh
up the agent is not able to really uh think through very complicated sequences
think through very complicated sequences or let's say computational logic and uh
or let's say computational logic and uh that's where we stand today. So uh more
that's where we stand today. So uh more I would say uh if you ask me from a very
I would say uh if you ask me from a very practical hands-on basis I would say
practical hands-on basis I would say that uh you start using it and start
that uh you start using it and start finding it out and uh you decide to what
finding it out and uh you decide to what level you would want to use it right so
level you would want to use it right so in fact that is why we at smarter
in fact that is why we at smarter actually developed what is called as the
actually developed what is called as the wipe coding framework so that it's easy
wipe coding framework so that it's easy for people to actually let me see if I
for people to actually let me see if I can just show you that right just give
can just show you that right just give me a second if I could just uh come up
me a second if I could just uh come up with Sure. Just give me a second as I
with Sure. Just give me a second as I bring up my uh
so this has been practically on our experience right uh what are the
experience right uh what are the challenges we faced what are the sort of
challenges we faced what are the sort of tools that we have used what's the sort
tools that we have used what's the sort of uh bugs we have you know faced over a
of uh bugs we have you know faced over a period of time. So it's all based on
period of time. So it's all based on only those I actually decided to
only those I actually decided to actually create it as a framework right
actually create it as a framework right now. Of course the framework itself will
now. Of course the framework itself will undergo changes over a period of time
undergo changes over a period of time over the next few months and few years.
over the next few months and few years. However, this will give people a very
However, this will give people a very good sort of foundation to get started
good sort of foundation to get started off with this whole u wipe coding uh you
off with this whole u wipe coding uh you know uh framework. Right? So if I could
know uh framework. Right? So if I could just um
just um show you that I'm just trying to share
show you that I'm just trying to share my screen. Just bear with me. I just
my screen. Just bear with me. I just opened a lot of tabs for my wipe coding.
opened a lot of tabs for my wipe coding. So it obviously takes its own sweet time
So it obviously takes its own sweet time before it, you know, sort of comes up,
before it, you know, sort of comes up, right? Okay. I think I got it.
Okay. I hope you're able to see my screen.
I hope you're able to see my screen. Yes. Okay. So obviously when you look at
Yes. Okay. So obviously when you look at what is uh pipe coding we call it as the
what is uh pipe coding we call it as the prime pipe coding framework right and um
we are just trying to slowly scroll through and understand
slowly scroll through and understand what is a w coding framework. So this is
what is a w coding framework. So this is essentially to empower
essentially to empower uh busy executives, right? How do you
uh busy executives, right? How do you create web and mobile apps or tools
create web and mobile apps or tools without writing a single line of code?
without writing a single line of code? What does prime really help you to do?
What does prime really help you to do? You can visualize your idea. You should
You can visualize your idea. You should define a consistent look and feel. You
define a consistent look and feel. You should assemble a feature one at a time.
should assemble a feature one at a time. You should be able to go live on your
You should be able to go live on your own domain. And then of course
own domain. And then of course maintenance and improvement over a
maintenance and improvement over a period of time. And uh let's say you
period of time. And uh let's say you want to buy some software so that your
want to buy some software so that your business operations become more
business operations become more efficient and you want to become more
efficient and you want to become more effective or your employees or team
effective or your employees or team members want to be more efficient in the
members want to be more efficient in the way they work with your business
way they work with your business processes. So you naturally tend towards
processes. So you naturally tend towards saying that hey can I buy a CRM or how
saying that hey can I buy a CRM or how do I schedule appointments for my sales
do I schedule appointments for my sales team or how do I send a questionnaire?
team or how do I send a questionnaire? Prime actually gives you a playbook. Now
Prime actually gives you a playbook. Now this sort of a playbook is not generally
this sort of a playbook is not generally available obviously because it's the
available obviously because it's the whole wipe coding framework is quite new
whole wipe coding framework is quite new in the market. However, our objective
in the market. However, our objective itself is to say that we need to build
itself is to say that we need to build this as a framework so that you can be
this as a framework so that you can be very confident because you're deploying
very confident because you're deploying it in your business. Right? So we're not
it in your business. Right? So we're not trying to do some research. We're not
trying to do some research. We're not just trying to do some school project
just trying to do some school project here. This is meant for serious business
here. This is meant for serious business folks. So first is the principles. How
folks. So first is the principles. How do you really want your app to look and
do you really want your app to look and feel, right? Obviously, you want to be
feel, right? Obviously, you want to be more professional and at the same time
more professional and at the same time you want your product to be more
you want your product to be more consistent, right? I mean, you don't
consistent, right? I mean, you don't want some page to be in some blue in
want some page to be in some blue in color, other page to be in green in
color, other page to be in green in color and your fonts and your things I
color and your fonts and your things I mean people will feel out of place. Next
mean people will feel out of place. Next comes the concept of reusability. What
comes the concept of reusability. What is the building blocks that you really
is the building blocks that you really use again and again so that you'll
use again and again so that you'll actually save a lot of time and effort
actually save a lot of time and effort and also in terms of what the sort of
and also in terms of what the sort of interactions
interactions saying that hey when there is a certain
saying that hey when there is a certain activity what should the app really do
activity what should the app really do right so for example can I allow
right so for example can I allow somebody to input some data and when
somebody to input some data and when they input a data do you want some
they input a data do you want some analysis to be done or do you want a pie
analysis to be done or do you want a pie chart to be shown or do you want some
chart to be shown or do you want some temporary window to come in Right? I
temporary window to come in Right? I mean I'm sure you have seen in modern
mean I'm sure you have seen in modern websites a lot of actions happening on
websites a lot of actions happening on the screen. Next is also in terms of
the screen. Next is also in terms of what's a sort of milestones. Now we
what's a sort of milestones. Now we should all understand that given the
should all understand that given the stage where artificial intelligence is
stage where artificial intelligence is you can't just give one small prompt and
you can't just give one small prompt and expect which unfortunately is where
expect which unfortunately is where people sort of are very critical about
people sort of are very critical about AI right it might happen this year maybe
AI right it might happen this year maybe next year I do not know but the more
next year I do not know but the more serious folks are more going to look at
serious folks are more going to look at saying that how do they adapt themselves
saying that how do they adapt themselves to how AI can think process and of
to how AI can think process and of course execute on all of this. So we
course execute on all of this. So we have the concept of milestones saying
have the concept of milestones saying that how do I really build one feature
that how do I really build one feature at a time and it's meaningful to my
at a time and it's meaningful to my business right so if I take the example
business right so if I take the example of uh CRM you first want to obviously
of uh CRM you first want to obviously start with contact management you don't
start with contact management you don't immediately jump into let's say I want
immediately jump into let's say I want to go into pipeline stages right so you
to go into pipeline stages right so you have to be very clear about your
have to be very clear about your business processes and what makes sense
business processes and what makes sense to you in terms of priority and then of
to you in terms of priority and then of course what is the evolution how Do we
course what is the evolution how Do we really maintain it over a period of
really maintain it over a period of time? This is also important from the
time? This is also important from the perspective that let's say you face some
perspective that let's say you face some challenges. You have really done some
challenges. You have really done some effort for 2 three days and uh you're
effort for 2 three days and uh you're not happy with it. You can't just delete
not happy with it. You can't just delete it like you do a Microsoft Word document
it like you do a Microsoft Word document or a PowerPoint presentation. What you
or a PowerPoint presentation. What you precisely have to do is you have to
precisely have to do is you have to revert it. And to revert it, you need to
revert it. And to revert it, you need to know what you have done when. While many
know what you have done when. While many of the white coding tools allow for
of the white coding tools allow for this, but it's better that you maintain
this, but it's better that you maintain your own evolution over a period of
your own evolution over a period of time. So in a sense, if you look at it,
time. So in a sense, if you look at it, the objective for us is the framework
the objective for us is the framework allows you to capture your idea, define
allows you to capture your idea, define your look and feel first, then do
your look and feel first, then do repeatable loops for different features.
repeatable loops for different features. Once you are comfortable with this, then
Once you are comfortable with this, then you look at more sophisticated ones in
you look at more sophisticated ones in terms of how do I set up user
terms of how do I set up user authentication? How do I release it to
authentication? How do I release it to the public? How do I do hosting of this
the public? How do I do hosting of this website or app? What sort of domain
website or app? What sort of domain should I buy? And then of course, how do
should I buy? And then of course, how do I actually track, learn and evolve over
I actually track, learn and evolve over a period of time? Right? So I use for
a period of time? Right? So I use for example notion for a lot of this
example notion for a lot of this tracking this diaries and iterate.
tracking this diaries and iterate. Probably others could come up with their
Probably others could come up with their own maybe even a physical diary. Right?
own maybe even a physical diary. Right? So essentially why this is a very nice
So essentially why this is a very nice uh framework is because uh while AI is
uh framework is because uh while AI is quite hyped up at this point of time but
quite hyped up at this point of time but at the same time you should understand
at the same time you should understand small business owners don't have time
small business owners don't have time right I mean I'm sure you understand
right I mean I'm sure you understand that as a small business owner right yes
that as a small business owner right yes you don't have all the technical
you don't have all the technical expertise with you you have very very
expertise with you you have very very limited budgets on a daily basis right
limited budgets on a daily basis right and the biggest fear is I don't want to
and the biggest fear is I don't want to be like subjected to a big monolith
be like subjected to a big monolith software which determines how I And it
software which determines how I And it should be the reverse right the software
should be the reverse right the software should assist my business rather than um
should assist my business rather than um the software trying to dictate and
the software trying to dictate and everyday morning I am forced to do
everyday morning I am forced to do certain work as per the software right
certain work as per the software right so we set out with clearly how do I help
so we set out with clearly how do I help such a small business owner we said we
such a small business owner we said we should the steps also should be in plain
should the steps also should be in plain English right so I didn't set out to set
English right so I didn't set out to set up a technical manual right of course it
up a technical manual right of course it can be used by developers as well but
can be used by developers as well but fundamentally we want to give the
fundamentally we want to give the confidence to people who want to try out
confidence to people who want to try out things themselves. I mean while I say
things themselves. I mean while I say business owners I'm also talking about
business owners I'm also talking about you could be a vice president of
you could be a vice president of marketing and you want to help your team
marketing and you want to help your team build up certain stuff and this is
build up certain stuff and this is exactly how you can you know use the
exactly how you can you know use the prime uh wipe coding framework just
prime uh wipe coding framework just plain English and at the same time
plain English and at the same time modular progress so you don't do
modular progress so you don't do something very risky and you don't get
something very risky and you don't get lost in the complexity and the what you
lost in the complexity and the what you can call u uh developers always famously
can call u uh developers always famously call this as you You are just running
call this as you You are just running through what is called as the rabbit
through what is called as the rabbit hole.
hole. As you can see the words disappearing
As you can see the words disappearing out over here for a period of time you
out over here for a period of time you will forget what you have actually been
will forget what you have actually been coding and you know sort of
coding and you know sort of uh you know you get into all sorts of
uh you know you get into all sorts of complexity and confusion. Very true.
complexity and confusion. Very true. Yeah. And also in terms of what's sort
Yeah. And also in terms of what's sort of safety nets that you need to have so
of safety nets that you need to have so that you don't sort of lose the
that you don't sort of lose the advantage of being ahead in your
advantage of being ahead in your specific industry or ecosystem or even
specific industry or ecosystem or even the country where you're working in. At
the country where you're working in. At the same time it's safe that you don't
the same time it's safe that you don't sort of u uh lose or lose the work or
sort of u uh lose or lose the work or you don't lose the effort you put over a
you don't lose the effort you put over a period of time. Right? So we should
period of time. Right? So we should appreciate those who actually want to
appreciate those who actually want to dip their toes into artificial
dip their toes into artificial intelligence. It shows that they want to
intelligence. It shows that they want to be successful in the business and have a
be successful in the business and have a competitive advantage. But at the same
competitive advantage. But at the same time as I said the technology is quite
time as I said the technology is quite new. So you got to be very sort of smart
new. So you got to be very sort of smart in terms of how you actually use this.
in terms of how you actually use this. So we have a very you know sort of
So we have a very you know sort of detailed uh sort of playbook on our
detailed uh sort of playbook on our website for smart in the blog section
website for smart in the blog section where we actually uh figure out as to
where we actually uh figure out as to how do you develop a simple CRM for a
how do you develop a simple CRM for a real estate agency and it actually helps
real estate agency and it actually helps you go step by step in terms of how this
you go step by step in terms of how this whole framework can help you build up a
whole framework can help you build up a CRM. Now it could be a real estate
CRM. Now it could be a real estate agency, you could even be a reseller or
agency, you could even be a reseller or as I said you could be a department in
as I said you could be a department in in an MNC. But this will give you
in an MNC. But this will give you confidently how you would want to uh
confidently how you would want to uh develop your apps or a website or uh
develop your apps or a website or uh anything as part of your digital
anything as part of your digital transformation journey, right? And you
transformation journey, right? And you could do this as pilots, proof of
could do this as pilots, proof of concepts or even part of your center of
concepts or even part of your center of excellence. And you could then uh you
excellence. And you could then uh you know sort of uh use the prime wipe
know sort of uh use the prime wipe coding framework to achieve you know all
coding framework to achieve you know all of these right. So what we also have
of these right. So what we also have given as an additional bonus for people
given as an additional bonus for people is while there's a prime framework and
is while there's a prime framework and we also have given the playbook itself
we also have given the playbook itself once you combine both of these you get a
once you combine both of these you get a notar and a practical path for doing all
notar and a practical path for doing all of this right. So we also develop our
of this right. So we also develop our own apps the smarter date.ai and all of
own apps the smarter date.ai and all of them using uh the prime uh w coding
them using uh the prime uh w coding framework right so if I actually take
framework right so if I actually take you I take this thing to show
you I take this thing to show okay I quickly switched over to our
okay I quickly switched over to our content hub which talks about all the
content hub which talks about all the tools and services that we really have
tools and services that we really have for smart me. So we have about 300 plus
for smart me. So we have about 300 plus tools AI tools which give confidently
tools AI tools which give confidently business owner entrepreneur any business
business owner entrepreneur any business professional can automate the routine
professional can automate the routine task you can even create your own what
task you can even create your own what you can call uh uh agents right so the
you can call uh uh agents right so the some of the top ones are in terms of
some of the top ones are in terms of presentation
presentation create your own powerpoints or you can
create your own powerpoints or you can create your own viral LinkedIn posts uh
create your own viral LinkedIn posts uh you can actually get a free CRM and a
you can actually get a free CRM and a lead generation mechanism out over here
lead generation mechanism out over here right so there's a quite a bit of things
right so there's a quite a bit of things as you can see none of this was
as you can see none of this was handcoded. I mean what do you think?
handcoded. I mean what do you think? Have you seen something like this like
Have you seen something like this like just with plain simple English? In fact,
just with plain simple English? In fact, I didn't even give the content. I've
I didn't even give the content. I've just wiped coding using tools like bolt
just wiped coding using tools like bolt versable
versable and did lot of very interesting uh
and did lot of very interesting uh research and I was very surprised to see
research and I was very surprised to see how it was reflecting my own thought
how it was reflecting my own thought process from a more strategic
process from a more strategic perspective and the sort of user uh
perspective and the sort of user uh interface the UI as we call it right to
interface the UI as we call it right to be more consistent and build up these
be more consistent and build up these sort of pages
sort of pages And today I'm actually experimenting to
And today I'm actually experimenting to say that hey can I for example create a
say that hey can I for example create a complete programmatic SEO method through
complete programmatic SEO method through which for example can I display 5,000
which for example can I display 5,000 pages without physically creating them.
pages without physically creating them. Wow that's amazing because this really
Wow that's amazing because this really sounds like magic using pipe coding.
sounds like magic using pipe coding. Yeah I mean that's that's a feeling
Yeah I mean that's that's a feeling everybody gets the w moment saying that
everybody gets the w moment saying that oh I mean is it really possible to do
oh I mean is it really possible to do all of these things right? So if I for
all of these things right? So if I for example if I you know sort of uh look at
example if I you know sort of uh look at what are the what you can call menu
what are the what you can call menu items which are here. I mean I didn't do
items which are here. I mean I didn't do any coding out here. I sort of asked it
any coding out here. I sort of asked it saying that hey can you actually be
saying that hey can you actually be consistent with the design and probably
consistent with the design and probably could you also you know uh create these
could you also you know uh create these sort of various nice pages and this is
sort of various nice pages and this is my objective. not a line of code was
my objective. not a line of code was used and to my surprise I could see that
used and to my surprise I could see that I myself I mean I I do have background
I myself I mean I I do have background in computer science but I didn't do a
in computer science but I didn't do a development because obviously I was
development because obviously I was researching on how white coding works
researching on how white coding works and you could actually see that not just
and you could actually see that not just simple web pages but I could actually
simple web pages but I could actually also develop like these sort of
also develop like these sort of directories with filters mechanisms
directories with filters mechanisms where things get picked up based on the
where things get picked up based on the words that are used out over here right
words that are used out over here right and you know I could just click on
and you know I could just click on something and you would see that it
something and you would see that it actually starts only showing those which
actually starts only showing those which have clicked on. You see usually this
have clicked on. You see usually this requires quite a decent amount of coding
requires quite a decent amount of coding for you to achieve all of this.
for you to achieve all of this. the as I said the computational logic
the as I said the computational logic and I've been able to successfully do
and I've been able to successfully do this for
this for uh know across this and as you can see
uh know across this and as you can see the look and feel is consistent
the look and feel is consistent right so I think I've been talking for
right so I think I've been talking for some time so yeah open to you for your
some time so yeah open to you for your questions right so thank you so much for
questions right so thank you so much for sharing the prime framework um I'm sure
sharing the prime framework um I'm sure our listeners would find that to be a
our listeners would find that to be a big advantage to follow that framework
big advantage to follow that framework and help them through the coding process
and help them through the coding process Uh but that just brings um I mean it's
Uh but that just brings um I mean it's magical using W coding but one question
magical using W coding but one question that's coming to my mind is for someone
that's coming to my mind is for someone who's trying to um get into w coding do
who's trying to um get into w coding do they really need to have a technical
they really need to have a technical depth in coding to get started.
depth in coding to get started. This is always an interesting question,
This is always an interesting question, right? And I would rather sort of give a
right? And I would rather sort of give a more philosophical large scale answer to
more philosophical large scale answer to that. See any amount of technical depth
that. See any amount of technical depth is quite welcome.
is quite welcome. All that AI has done today and the
All that AI has done today and the concept of wipe coding is it has reduced
concept of wipe coding is it has reduced the requirement of I would say uh how
the requirement of I would say uh how technical you need to be to achieve
technical you need to be to achieve let's say simple tasks.
let's say simple tasks. So if you want to just today create a
So if you want to just today create a nicel looking website a page uh and I
nicel looking website a page uh and I forgot to mention actually w coding is
forgot to mention actually w coding is also extending into wbe marketing but
also extending into wbe marketing but maybe we'll sort of tackle the topic in
maybe we'll sort of tackle the topic in a separate podcast but sure if you
a separate podcast but sure if you really look at wbe coding it u helps you
really look at wbe coding it u helps you with all the technical tools and the sky
with all the technical tools and the sky is the limit and I do find nontechnical
is the limit and I do find nontechnical folks but who are good in that domain
folks but who are good in that domain salespeople
salespeople chemistry professors
chemistry professors uh marketers they have enthusiastically
uh marketers they have enthusiastically adopted and they've been able to come up
adopted and they've been able to come up with some very good ideas
with some very good ideas and uh some of them actually have also
and uh some of them actually have also like sort of uh started earning revenue
like sort of uh started earning revenue in the millions of dollars some of them
in the millions of dollars some of them actually sold also uh I recently heard
actually sold also uh I recently heard one of them actually sold it for some 8
one of them actually sold it for some 8 million or so a white coded tool in less
million or so a white coded tool in less than six months so obviously nobody's
than six months so obviously nobody's going to pay you 8 million for something
going to pay you 8 million for something which is uh not sophisticated and good
which is uh not sophisticated and good right now. How much of a depth as I said
right now. How much of a depth as I said every bit of technical uh expertise is
every bit of technical uh expertise is very good with w coding because as the
very good with w coding because as the generations are very apt to say right we
generations are very apt to say right we can take it to the really next level
can take it to the really next level but that doesn't stop you as I said to
but that doesn't stop you as I said to achieve a lot of things I would rather
achieve a lot of things I would rather say start experimenting
say start experimenting because the AI and the LLMs and whatever
because the AI and the LLMs and whatever agents and technology behind all of this
agents and technology behind all of this is daily improving
is daily improving right So it's like if you know it it's
right So it's like if you know it it's better if you don't know it doesn't
better if you don't know it doesn't really you know sort of stop you from uh
really you know sort of stop you from uh achieving what you want right know the
achieving what you want right know the limitations use the w coding framework I
limitations use the w coding framework I think you are all good to go on w coding
think you are all good to go on w coding thank you chandra I think that will be
thank you chandra I think that will be really good input for all of those who
really good input for all of those who are exploring and want to get into w
are exploring and want to get into w coding and um good thing is uh as
coding and um good thing is uh as chandra that you just start
chandra that you just start experimenting uh just get started and uh
experimenting uh just get started and uh especially those who are uh even those
especially those who are uh even those who are non-technical uh if you want to
who are non-technical uh if you want to develop using your subject matter
develop using your subject matter expertise to come up with an app which
expertise to come up with an app which may be useful for your domain um as
may be useful for your domain um as Chandu said just get started and
Chandu said just get started and experiment. So thank you so much Andrew
experiment. So thank you so much Andrew for sharing all your views um and your
for sharing all your views um and your experience in the process of white
experience in the process of white coding and uh we hope to get some more
coding and uh we hope to get some more information and inputs from you as we go
information and inputs from you as we go along in our series. Thank you so much
along in our series. Thank you so much for your time. Sure. Just before we sort
for your time. Sure. Just before we sort of leave this spot, I'll just uh
of leave this spot, I'll just uh maybe if I have the screen, I will just
maybe if I have the screen, I will just quickly show because at the end of the
quickly show because at the end of the day, nothing like showing people on the
day, nothing like showing people on the screen as to what um so I'll just
screen as to what um so I'll just probably take only one uh sample. Sure.
probably take only one uh sample. Sure. And uh those who want to get started
And uh those who want to get started off, right?
off, right? So on the screen you would see
So on the screen you would see um a tool called Lavable. Lable is today
um a tool called Lavable. Lable is today one of the topmost tools for white
one of the topmost tools for white coding. And as you are seeing the text
coding. And as you are seeing the text which is running out over here. You can
which is running out over here. You can just ask Lable to create a internal
just ask Lable to create a internal tool, a dashboard, a website. You can
tool, a dashboard, a website. You can actually create lot of very stunning
actually create lot of very stunning websites and tools using Lable. Right.
websites and tools using Lable. Right. up and the good thing is they give you
up and the good thing is they give you some free credits so you can without
some free credits so you can without paying money you can get started off
paying money you can get started off probably do lot of uh sites as I'm just
probably do lot of uh sites as I'm just slowly scrolling and I'm trying to show
slowly scrolling and I'm trying to show it to you the sky is the limit you're
it to you the sky is the limit you're only going to be limited by your
only going to be limited by your imagination and you are seeing
imagination and you are seeing everything from crypto trading sites
everything from crypto trading sites being created to probably
being created to probably more in terms of travel and tourism and
more in terms of travel and tourism and also in terms of personal productivity
also in terms of personal productivity software, right? And as you can see the
software, right? And as you can see the designs, the sort of thought processes
designs, the sort of thought processes are quite in line with what you would
are quite in line with what you would want to you know sort of uh do where it
want to you know sort of uh do where it makes sense for you. Right? So the range
makes sense for you. Right? So the range which actually people have exhibited is
which actually people have exhibited is unbelievable right so it could be as
unbelievable right so it could be as complicated as saying that hey can I
complicated as saying that hey can I actually play chess maybe it's a chess
actually play chess maybe it's a chess engine or it could be as simple as and
engine or it could be as simple as and probably something we do on a daily
probably something we do on a daily basis how do I sort of work with PDFs
basis how do I sort of work with PDFs right so I would strongly encourage
right so I would strongly encourage people to you know look at tools and
people to you know look at tools and probably start with lovable because I
probably start with lovable because I have personally found out lovable able
have personally found out lovable able the user interface uh in terms of the
the user interface uh in terms of the final output right it's very colorful
final output right it's very colorful and uh very modern uh there are certain
and uh very modern uh there are certain things around prompt and prompt
things around prompt and prompt engineering which again we will talk in
engineering which again we will talk in a separate podcast how to actually use
a separate podcast how to actually use this in white coding but this is a good
this in white coding but this is a good space because it'll give you the
space because it'll give you the confidence to get started on w coding
confidence to get started on w coding then of course you can try lot of other
then of course you can try lot of other tools which are out over there but it's
tools which are out over there but it's just plain English nice looking outputs
just plain English nice looking outputs get you the confidence use the w coding
get you the confidence use the w coding framework and you're all
framework and you're all Okay, thank you so much. Thanks Chandra.
Okay, thank you so much. Thanks Chandra. One last word. So thank you so much for
One last word. So thank you so much for sharing uh the tool as well and for all
sharing uh the tool as well and for all our listeners out there um you want to
our listeners out there um you want to venture out in bite coding and get
venture out in bite coding and get started with this tool to begin with. So
started with this tool to begin with. So thank you so much once again for your
thank you so much once again for your time and hopefully we'll catch up soon
time and hopefully we'll catch up soon on our next podcast. We'll do that.
on our next podcast. We'll do that. Thank you so much Hamsa. Thanks for the
Thank you so much Hamsa. Thanks for the time. Goodbye. Abide.

[0:06] Hi Chandru. Hi. Hello sir. Hi. So um uh I have a few questions um about certain
[0:09] I have a few questions um about certain terms that are being used today. So uh
[0:12] terms that are being used today. So uh in in the environment and one of the
[0:14] in in the environment and one of the terms that um is being used widely is
[0:18] terms that um is being used widely is about wipe coding. So I want to
[0:21] about wipe coding. So I want to understand from you what exactly is wipe
[0:23] understand from you what exactly is wipe coding?
[0:24] coding? Yeah thanks for asking that. I think
[0:27] Yeah thanks for asking that. I think wipe coding is now the word of the year.
[0:30] wipe coding is now the word of the year. Uh almost every developer worldwide and
[0:34] Uh almost every developer worldwide and even a non developer or what we call as
[0:37] even a non developer or what we call as business people are adapting to w coding
[0:40] business people are adapting to w coding in a big way. Um w coding as a term was
[0:44] in a big way. Um w coding as a term was uh made famous by Andra Karpati one of
[0:48] uh made famous by Andra Karpati one of the leading artificial intelligence
[0:51] the leading artificial intelligence experts. um uh he had mentioned if I
[0:54] experts. um uh he had mentioned if I recall correctly in a uh tweet uh or on
[0:57] recall correctly in a uh tweet uh or on the x.com
[0:59] the x.com uh site and people rapidly took to that.
[1:03] uh site and people rapidly took to that. So in a very simple way it refers to
[1:06] So in a very simple way it refers to prompting the uh artificial intelligent
[1:10] prompting the uh artificial intelligent agent to develop apps uh website apps or
[1:15] agent to develop apps uh website apps or you know mobile apps or websites. Um and
[1:18] you know mobile apps or websites. Um and it has slowly evolved today to mean that
[1:21] it has slowly evolved today to mean that you can just chat in simple English and
[1:25] you can just chat in simple English and achieve more sophisticated
[1:27] achieve more sophisticated uh technical work. So let's say you want
[1:30] uh technical work. So let's say you want to develop a website. Um earlier we used
[1:34] to develop a website. Um earlier we used to you know sort of uh use lot of HTML,
[1:37] to you know sort of uh use lot of HTML, CSS and other types of coding
[1:39] CSS and other types of coding JavaScript.
[1:41] JavaScript. Now it is possible to uh do lot of this
[1:44] Now it is possible to uh do lot of this work by just inputting in like a chat
[1:46] work by just inputting in like a chat interface with you know u these various
[1:50] interface with you know u these various agents right as we go along I'll also
[1:52] agents right as we go along I'll also mention about some of these agents. Um
[1:55] mention about some of these agents. Um so that's sort of the background of what
[1:57] so that's sort of the background of what is wipe coding and how it originated.
[2:01] is wipe coding and how it originated. Okay. So very interesting but um I know
[2:05] Okay. So very interesting but um I know you're a founder who has been using w
[2:07] you're a founder who has been using w coding quite extensively. So is it as
[2:11] coding quite extensively. So is it as easy as it sounds
[2:14] easy as it sounds to do?
[2:16] to do? Okay. See as with any new technology um
[2:20] Okay. See as with any new technology um there is a you know right there are
[2:22] there is a you know right there are multiple stages for a technology to get
[2:25] multiple stages for a technology to get matured and uh we are seeing that with
[2:29] matured and uh we are seeing that with rapidly with artificial intelligence
[2:30] rapidly with artificial intelligence field and what you're raising is a very
[2:32] field and what you're raising is a very important question and actually turned
[2:34] important question and actually turned out to a big uh debate on many social
[2:37] out to a big uh debate on many social media channels as well and even between
[2:39] media channels as well and even between some of the top experts. Um now we I
[2:44] some of the top experts. Um now we I would say are probably at the very very
[2:46] would say are probably at the very very initial stages. So is it easy? Yes, it
[2:50] initial stages. So is it easy? Yes, it is quite easy. Uh is it tough? actually
[2:54] is quite easy. Uh is it tough? actually speaking ironically it is also tough at
[2:56] speaking ironically it is also tough at the same time and people are finding
[2:58] the same time and people are finding that out right and uh you know the what
[3:02] that out right and uh you know the what we call as the old god right I mean the
[3:04] we call as the old god right I mean the developers who spent many years they
[3:06] developers who spent many years they sort of uh are not uh what you can call
[3:09] sort of uh are not uh what you can call convinced that this can develop more
[3:11] convinced that this can develop more sophisticated apps let's say connect to
[3:13] sophisticated apps let's say connect to databases and come out with let's say
[3:15] databases and come out with let's say e-commerce sites and more sophisticated
[3:18] e-commerce sites and more sophisticated functionality
[3:19] functionality so the uh whole you know thing around
[3:23] so the uh whole you know thing around white coding has been that people have
[3:25] white coding has been that people have started trying these agents are also
[3:27] started trying these agents are also improving as we keep developing and it's
[3:30] improving as we keep developing and it's today possible to actually come up with
[3:32] today possible to actually come up with quite I would say very modern looking
[3:35] quite I would say very modern looking websites more uh I would say website
[3:38] websites more uh I would say website pages probably even apps right
[3:43] pages probably even apps right but in terms of maturity it stops there
[3:46] but in terms of maturity it stops there afterwards wipe coders do face lot of
[3:49] afterwards wipe coders do face lot of challenges in terms of know bugs coming
[3:52] challenges in terms of know bugs coming up the agent is not able to really uh
[3:55] up the agent is not able to really uh think through very complicated sequences
[3:57] think through very complicated sequences or let's say computational logic and uh
[4:00] or let's say computational logic and uh that's where we stand today. So uh more
[4:03] that's where we stand today. So uh more I would say uh if you ask me from a very
[4:06] I would say uh if you ask me from a very practical hands-on basis I would say
[4:08] practical hands-on basis I would say that uh you start using it and start
[4:12] that uh you start using it and start finding it out and uh you decide to what
[4:15] finding it out and uh you decide to what level you would want to use it right so
[4:18] level you would want to use it right so in fact that is why we at smarter
[4:20] in fact that is why we at smarter actually developed what is called as the
[4:21] actually developed what is called as the wipe coding framework so that it's easy
[4:24] wipe coding framework so that it's easy for people to actually let me see if I
[4:26] for people to actually let me see if I can just show you that right just give
[4:28] can just show you that right just give me a second if I could just uh come up
[4:30] me a second if I could just uh come up with Sure. Just give me a second as I
[4:35] with Sure. Just give me a second as I bring up my uh
[4:54] so this has been practically on our experience right uh what are the
[4:56] experience right uh what are the challenges we faced what are the sort of
[4:58] challenges we faced what are the sort of tools that we have used what's the sort
[5:00] tools that we have used what's the sort of uh bugs we have you know faced over a
[5:03] of uh bugs we have you know faced over a period of time. So it's all based on
[5:05] period of time. So it's all based on only those I actually decided to
[5:08] only those I actually decided to actually create it as a framework right
[5:10] actually create it as a framework right now. Of course the framework itself will
[5:12] now. Of course the framework itself will undergo changes over a period of time
[5:13] undergo changes over a period of time over the next few months and few years.
[5:15] over the next few months and few years. However, this will give people a very
[5:17] However, this will give people a very good sort of foundation to get started
[5:20] good sort of foundation to get started off with this whole u wipe coding uh you
[5:24] off with this whole u wipe coding uh you know uh framework. Right? So if I could
[5:27] know uh framework. Right? So if I could just um
[5:29] just um show you that I'm just trying to share
[5:31] show you that I'm just trying to share my screen. Just bear with me. I just
[5:34] my screen. Just bear with me. I just opened a lot of tabs for my wipe coding.
[5:37] opened a lot of tabs for my wipe coding. So it obviously takes its own sweet time
[5:40] So it obviously takes its own sweet time before it, you know, sort of comes up,
[5:42] before it, you know, sort of comes up, right? Okay. I think I got it.
[5:51] Okay. I hope you're able to see my screen.
[5:55] I hope you're able to see my screen. Yes. Okay. So obviously when you look at
[6:00] Yes. Okay. So obviously when you look at what is uh pipe coding we call it as the
[6:04] what is uh pipe coding we call it as the prime pipe coding framework right and um
[6:16] we are just trying to slowly scroll through and understand
[6:18] slowly scroll through and understand what is a w coding framework. So this is
[6:22] what is a w coding framework. So this is essentially to empower
[6:24] essentially to empower uh busy executives, right? How do you
[6:27] uh busy executives, right? How do you create web and mobile apps or tools
[6:29] create web and mobile apps or tools without writing a single line of code?
[6:31] without writing a single line of code? What does prime really help you to do?
[6:33] What does prime really help you to do? You can visualize your idea. You should
[6:36] You can visualize your idea. You should define a consistent look and feel. You
[6:39] define a consistent look and feel. You should assemble a feature one at a time.
[6:42] should assemble a feature one at a time. You should be able to go live on your
[6:44] You should be able to go live on your own domain. And then of course
[6:46] own domain. And then of course maintenance and improvement over a
[6:47] maintenance and improvement over a period of time. And uh let's say you
[6:50] period of time. And uh let's say you want to buy some software so that your
[6:53] want to buy some software so that your business operations become more
[6:55] business operations become more efficient and you want to become more
[6:57] efficient and you want to become more effective or your employees or team
[7:00] effective or your employees or team members want to be more efficient in the
[7:04] members want to be more efficient in the way they work with your business
[7:05] way they work with your business processes. So you naturally tend towards
[7:08] processes. So you naturally tend towards saying that hey can I buy a CRM or how
[7:10] saying that hey can I buy a CRM or how do I schedule appointments for my sales
[7:12] do I schedule appointments for my sales team or how do I send a questionnaire?
[7:15] team or how do I send a questionnaire? Prime actually gives you a playbook. Now
[7:18] Prime actually gives you a playbook. Now this sort of a playbook is not generally
[7:20] this sort of a playbook is not generally available obviously because it's the
[7:22] available obviously because it's the whole wipe coding framework is quite new
[7:24] whole wipe coding framework is quite new in the market. However, our objective
[7:27] in the market. However, our objective itself is to say that we need to build
[7:31] itself is to say that we need to build this as a framework so that you can be
[7:34] this as a framework so that you can be very confident because you're deploying
[7:35] very confident because you're deploying it in your business. Right? So we're not
[7:37] it in your business. Right? So we're not trying to do some research. We're not
[7:38] trying to do some research. We're not just trying to do some school project
[7:40] just trying to do some school project here. This is meant for serious business
[7:43] here. This is meant for serious business folks. So first is the principles. How
[7:46] folks. So first is the principles. How do you really want your app to look and
[7:49] do you really want your app to look and feel, right? Obviously, you want to be
[7:52] feel, right? Obviously, you want to be more professional and at the same time
[7:54] more professional and at the same time you want your product to be more
[7:56] you want your product to be more consistent, right? I mean, you don't
[7:58] consistent, right? I mean, you don't want some page to be in some blue in
[8:00] want some page to be in some blue in color, other page to be in green in
[8:01] color, other page to be in green in color and your fonts and your things I
[8:04] color and your fonts and your things I mean people will feel out of place. Next
[8:06] mean people will feel out of place. Next comes the concept of reusability. What
[8:08] comes the concept of reusability. What is the building blocks that you really
[8:11] is the building blocks that you really use again and again so that you'll
[8:14] use again and again so that you'll actually save a lot of time and effort
[8:16] actually save a lot of time and effort and also in terms of what the sort of
[8:18] and also in terms of what the sort of interactions
[8:20] interactions saying that hey when there is a certain
[8:23] saying that hey when there is a certain activity what should the app really do
[8:26] activity what should the app really do right so for example can I allow
[8:27] right so for example can I allow somebody to input some data and when
[8:30] somebody to input some data and when they input a data do you want some
[8:32] they input a data do you want some analysis to be done or do you want a pie
[8:34] analysis to be done or do you want a pie chart to be shown or do you want some
[8:36] chart to be shown or do you want some temporary window to come in Right? I
[8:38] temporary window to come in Right? I mean I'm sure you have seen in modern
[8:39] mean I'm sure you have seen in modern websites a lot of actions happening on
[8:41] websites a lot of actions happening on the screen. Next is also in terms of
[8:44] the screen. Next is also in terms of what's a sort of milestones. Now we
[8:48] what's a sort of milestones. Now we should all understand that given the
[8:50] should all understand that given the stage where artificial intelligence is
[8:52] stage where artificial intelligence is you can't just give one small prompt and
[8:53] you can't just give one small prompt and expect which unfortunately is where
[8:56] expect which unfortunately is where people sort of are very critical about
[8:58] people sort of are very critical about AI right it might happen this year maybe
[9:00] AI right it might happen this year maybe next year I do not know but the more
[9:04] next year I do not know but the more serious folks are more going to look at
[9:06] serious folks are more going to look at saying that how do they adapt themselves
[9:08] saying that how do they adapt themselves to how AI can think process and of
[9:10] to how AI can think process and of course execute on all of this. So we
[9:13] course execute on all of this. So we have the concept of milestones saying
[9:15] have the concept of milestones saying that how do I really build one feature
[9:18] that how do I really build one feature at a time and it's meaningful to my
[9:19] at a time and it's meaningful to my business right so if I take the example
[9:23] business right so if I take the example of uh CRM you first want to obviously
[9:26] of uh CRM you first want to obviously start with contact management you don't
[9:28] start with contact management you don't immediately jump into let's say I want
[9:30] immediately jump into let's say I want to go into pipeline stages right so you
[9:33] to go into pipeline stages right so you have to be very clear about your
[9:34] have to be very clear about your business processes and what makes sense
[9:36] business processes and what makes sense to you in terms of priority and then of
[9:38] to you in terms of priority and then of course what is the evolution how Do we
[9:42] course what is the evolution how Do we really maintain it over a period of
[9:43] really maintain it over a period of time? This is also important from the
[9:45] time? This is also important from the perspective that let's say you face some
[9:48] perspective that let's say you face some challenges. You have really done some
[9:50] challenges. You have really done some effort for 2 three days and uh you're
[9:52] effort for 2 three days and uh you're not happy with it. You can't just delete
[9:55] not happy with it. You can't just delete it like you do a Microsoft Word document
[9:57] it like you do a Microsoft Word document or a PowerPoint presentation. What you
[9:59] or a PowerPoint presentation. What you precisely have to do is you have to
[10:01] precisely have to do is you have to revert it. And to revert it, you need to
[10:03] revert it. And to revert it, you need to know what you have done when. While many
[10:06] know what you have done when. While many of the white coding tools allow for
[10:08] of the white coding tools allow for this, but it's better that you maintain
[10:10] this, but it's better that you maintain your own evolution over a period of
[10:11] your own evolution over a period of time. So in a sense, if you look at it,
[10:14] time. So in a sense, if you look at it, the objective for us is the framework
[10:17] the objective for us is the framework allows you to capture your idea, define
[10:20] allows you to capture your idea, define your look and feel first, then do
[10:24] your look and feel first, then do repeatable loops for different features.
[10:27] repeatable loops for different features. Once you are comfortable with this, then
[10:29] Once you are comfortable with this, then you look at more sophisticated ones in
[10:31] you look at more sophisticated ones in terms of how do I set up user
[10:33] terms of how do I set up user authentication? How do I release it to
[10:35] authentication? How do I release it to the public? How do I do hosting of this
[10:37] the public? How do I do hosting of this website or app? What sort of domain
[10:40] website or app? What sort of domain should I buy? And then of course, how do
[10:42] should I buy? And then of course, how do I actually track, learn and evolve over
[10:44] I actually track, learn and evolve over a period of time? Right? So I use for
[10:47] a period of time? Right? So I use for example notion for a lot of this
[10:51] example notion for a lot of this tracking this diaries and iterate.
[10:54] tracking this diaries and iterate. Probably others could come up with their
[10:56] Probably others could come up with their own maybe even a physical diary. Right?
[10:59] own maybe even a physical diary. Right? So essentially why this is a very nice
[11:02] So essentially why this is a very nice uh framework is because uh while AI is
[11:06] uh framework is because uh while AI is quite hyped up at this point of time but
[11:08] quite hyped up at this point of time but at the same time you should understand
[11:09] at the same time you should understand small business owners don't have time
[11:11] small business owners don't have time right I mean I'm sure you understand
[11:13] right I mean I'm sure you understand that as a small business owner right yes
[11:15] that as a small business owner right yes you don't have all the technical
[11:17] you don't have all the technical expertise with you you have very very
[11:19] expertise with you you have very very limited budgets on a daily basis right
[11:21] limited budgets on a daily basis right and the biggest fear is I don't want to
[11:23] and the biggest fear is I don't want to be like subjected to a big monolith
[11:26] be like subjected to a big monolith software which determines how I And it
[11:28] software which determines how I And it should be the reverse right the software
[11:30] should be the reverse right the software should assist my business rather than um
[11:33] should assist my business rather than um the software trying to dictate and
[11:35] the software trying to dictate and everyday morning I am forced to do
[11:37] everyday morning I am forced to do certain work as per the software right
[11:40] certain work as per the software right so we set out with clearly how do I help
[11:45] so we set out with clearly how do I help such a small business owner we said we
[11:47] such a small business owner we said we should the steps also should be in plain
[11:49] should the steps also should be in plain English right so I didn't set out to set
[11:52] English right so I didn't set out to set up a technical manual right of course it
[11:54] up a technical manual right of course it can be used by developers as well but
[11:56] can be used by developers as well but fundamentally we want to give the
[11:58] fundamentally we want to give the confidence to people who want to try out
[12:00] confidence to people who want to try out things themselves. I mean while I say
[12:01] things themselves. I mean while I say business owners I'm also talking about
[12:03] business owners I'm also talking about you could be a vice president of
[12:04] you could be a vice president of marketing and you want to help your team
[12:07] marketing and you want to help your team build up certain stuff and this is
[12:08] build up certain stuff and this is exactly how you can you know use the
[12:11] exactly how you can you know use the prime uh wipe coding framework just
[12:13] prime uh wipe coding framework just plain English and at the same time
[12:15] plain English and at the same time modular progress so you don't do
[12:17] modular progress so you don't do something very risky and you don't get
[12:20] something very risky and you don't get lost in the complexity and the what you
[12:24] lost in the complexity and the what you can call u uh developers always famously
[12:29] can call u uh developers always famously call this as you You are just running
[12:32] call this as you You are just running through what is called as the rabbit
[12:34] through what is called as the rabbit hole.
[12:37] hole. As you can see the words disappearing
[12:38] As you can see the words disappearing out over here for a period of time you
[12:40] out over here for a period of time you will forget what you have actually been
[12:41] will forget what you have actually been coding and you know sort of
[12:45] coding and you know sort of uh you know you get into all sorts of
[12:47] uh you know you get into all sorts of complexity and confusion. Very true.
[12:49] complexity and confusion. Very true. Yeah. And also in terms of what's sort
[12:51] Yeah. And also in terms of what's sort of safety nets that you need to have so
[12:55] of safety nets that you need to have so that you don't sort of lose the
[12:57] that you don't sort of lose the advantage of being ahead in your
[12:59] advantage of being ahead in your specific industry or ecosystem or even
[13:02] specific industry or ecosystem or even the country where you're working in. At
[13:04] the country where you're working in. At the same time it's safe that you don't
[13:05] the same time it's safe that you don't sort of u uh lose or lose the work or
[13:10] sort of u uh lose or lose the work or you don't lose the effort you put over a
[13:13] you don't lose the effort you put over a period of time. Right? So we should
[13:16] period of time. Right? So we should appreciate those who actually want to
[13:17] appreciate those who actually want to dip their toes into artificial
[13:19] dip their toes into artificial intelligence. It shows that they want to
[13:21] intelligence. It shows that they want to be successful in the business and have a
[13:22] be successful in the business and have a competitive advantage. But at the same
[13:24] competitive advantage. But at the same time as I said the technology is quite
[13:26] time as I said the technology is quite new. So you got to be very sort of smart
[13:29] new. So you got to be very sort of smart in terms of how you actually use this.
[13:31] in terms of how you actually use this. So we have a very you know sort of
[13:33] So we have a very you know sort of detailed uh sort of playbook on our
[13:36] detailed uh sort of playbook on our website for smart in the blog section
[13:38] website for smart in the blog section where we actually uh figure out as to
[13:41] where we actually uh figure out as to how do you develop a simple CRM for a
[13:44] how do you develop a simple CRM for a real estate agency and it actually helps
[13:48] real estate agency and it actually helps you go step by step in terms of how this
[13:52] you go step by step in terms of how this whole framework can help you build up a
[13:56] whole framework can help you build up a CRM. Now it could be a real estate
[13:58] CRM. Now it could be a real estate agency, you could even be a reseller or
[14:00] agency, you could even be a reseller or as I said you could be a department in
[14:02] as I said you could be a department in in an MNC. But this will give you
[14:05] in an MNC. But this will give you confidently how you would want to uh
[14:08] confidently how you would want to uh develop your apps or a website or uh
[14:11] develop your apps or a website or uh anything as part of your digital
[14:12] anything as part of your digital transformation journey, right? And you
[14:16] transformation journey, right? And you could do this as pilots, proof of
[14:19] could do this as pilots, proof of concepts or even part of your center of
[14:22] concepts or even part of your center of excellence. And you could then uh you
[14:26] excellence. And you could then uh you know sort of uh use the prime wipe
[14:29] know sort of uh use the prime wipe coding framework to achieve you know all
[14:32] coding framework to achieve you know all of these right. So what we also have
[14:36] of these right. So what we also have given as an additional bonus for people
[14:37] given as an additional bonus for people is while there's a prime framework and
[14:41] is while there's a prime framework and we also have given the playbook itself
[14:43] we also have given the playbook itself once you combine both of these you get a
[14:45] once you combine both of these you get a notar and a practical path for doing all
[14:47] notar and a practical path for doing all of this right. So we also develop our
[14:51] of this right. So we also develop our own apps the smarter date.ai and all of
[14:54] own apps the smarter date.ai and all of them using uh the prime uh w coding
[14:58] them using uh the prime uh w coding framework right so if I actually take
[15:01] framework right so if I actually take you I take this thing to show
[15:06] you I take this thing to show okay I quickly switched over to our
[15:10] okay I quickly switched over to our content hub which talks about all the
[15:12] content hub which talks about all the tools and services that we really have
[15:16] tools and services that we really have for smart me. So we have about 300 plus
[15:18] for smart me. So we have about 300 plus tools AI tools which give confidently
[15:21] tools AI tools which give confidently business owner entrepreneur any business
[15:23] business owner entrepreneur any business professional can automate the routine
[15:24] professional can automate the routine task you can even create your own what
[15:26] task you can even create your own what you can call uh uh agents right so the
[15:30] you can call uh uh agents right so the some of the top ones are in terms of
[15:32] some of the top ones are in terms of presentation
[15:34] presentation create your own powerpoints or you can
[15:36] create your own powerpoints or you can create your own viral LinkedIn posts uh
[15:38] create your own viral LinkedIn posts uh you can actually get a free CRM and a
[15:40] you can actually get a free CRM and a lead generation mechanism out over here
[15:43] lead generation mechanism out over here right so there's a quite a bit of things
[15:44] right so there's a quite a bit of things as you can see none of this was
[15:46] as you can see none of this was handcoded. I mean what do you think?
[15:50] handcoded. I mean what do you think? Have you seen something like this like
[15:53] Have you seen something like this like just with plain simple English? In fact,
[15:55] just with plain simple English? In fact, I didn't even give the content. I've
[15:58] I didn't even give the content. I've just wiped coding using tools like bolt
[16:00] just wiped coding using tools like bolt versable
[16:03] versable and did lot of very interesting uh
[16:07] and did lot of very interesting uh research and I was very surprised to see
[16:09] research and I was very surprised to see how it was reflecting my own thought
[16:12] how it was reflecting my own thought process from a more strategic
[16:13] process from a more strategic perspective and the sort of user uh
[16:18] perspective and the sort of user uh interface the UI as we call it right to
[16:21] interface the UI as we call it right to be more consistent and build up these
[16:24] be more consistent and build up these sort of pages
[16:27] sort of pages And today I'm actually experimenting to
[16:29] And today I'm actually experimenting to say that hey can I for example create a
[16:32] say that hey can I for example create a complete programmatic SEO method through
[16:34] complete programmatic SEO method through which for example can I display 5,000
[16:36] which for example can I display 5,000 pages without physically creating them.
[16:38] pages without physically creating them. Wow that's amazing because this really
[16:40] Wow that's amazing because this really sounds like magic using pipe coding.
[16:43] sounds like magic using pipe coding. Yeah I mean that's that's a feeling
[16:45] Yeah I mean that's that's a feeling everybody gets the w moment saying that
[16:48] everybody gets the w moment saying that oh I mean is it really possible to do
[16:50] oh I mean is it really possible to do all of these things right? So if I for
[16:53] all of these things right? So if I for example if I you know sort of uh look at
[16:56] example if I you know sort of uh look at what are the what you can call menu
[16:59] what are the what you can call menu items which are here. I mean I didn't do
[17:02] items which are here. I mean I didn't do any coding out here. I sort of asked it
[17:05] any coding out here. I sort of asked it saying that hey can you actually be
[17:06] saying that hey can you actually be consistent with the design and probably
[17:08] consistent with the design and probably could you also you know uh create these
[17:11] could you also you know uh create these sort of various nice pages and this is
[17:14] sort of various nice pages and this is my objective. not a line of code was
[17:16] my objective. not a line of code was used and to my surprise I could see that
[17:20] used and to my surprise I could see that I myself I mean I I do have background
[17:22] I myself I mean I I do have background in computer science but I didn't do a
[17:23] in computer science but I didn't do a development because obviously I was
[17:25] development because obviously I was researching on how white coding works
[17:27] researching on how white coding works and you could actually see that not just
[17:30] and you could actually see that not just simple web pages but I could actually
[17:34] simple web pages but I could actually also develop like these sort of
[17:36] also develop like these sort of directories with filters mechanisms
[17:38] directories with filters mechanisms where things get picked up based on the
[17:40] where things get picked up based on the words that are used out over here right
[17:42] words that are used out over here right and you know I could just click on
[17:44] and you know I could just click on something and you would see that it
[17:46] something and you would see that it actually starts only showing those which
[17:50] actually starts only showing those which have clicked on. You see usually this
[17:52] have clicked on. You see usually this requires quite a decent amount of coding
[17:54] requires quite a decent amount of coding for you to achieve all of this.
[17:57] for you to achieve all of this. the as I said the computational logic
[18:00] the as I said the computational logic and I've been able to successfully do
[18:02] and I've been able to successfully do this for
[18:04] this for uh know across this and as you can see
[18:06] uh know across this and as you can see the look and feel is consistent
[18:09] the look and feel is consistent right so I think I've been talking for
[18:11] right so I think I've been talking for some time so yeah open to you for your
[18:13] some time so yeah open to you for your questions right so thank you so much for
[18:16] questions right so thank you so much for sharing the prime framework um I'm sure
[18:20] sharing the prime framework um I'm sure our listeners would find that to be a
[18:22] our listeners would find that to be a big advantage to follow that framework
[18:24] big advantage to follow that framework and help them through the coding process
[18:27] and help them through the coding process Uh but that just brings um I mean it's
[18:30] Uh but that just brings um I mean it's magical using W coding but one question
[18:32] magical using W coding but one question that's coming to my mind is for someone
[18:34] that's coming to my mind is for someone who's trying to um get into w coding do
[18:38] who's trying to um get into w coding do they really need to have a technical
[18:40] they really need to have a technical depth in coding to get started.
[18:45] depth in coding to get started. This is always an interesting question,
[18:46] This is always an interesting question, right? And I would rather sort of give a
[18:49] right? And I would rather sort of give a more philosophical large scale answer to
[18:51] more philosophical large scale answer to that. See any amount of technical depth
[18:54] that. See any amount of technical depth is quite welcome.
[18:57] is quite welcome. All that AI has done today and the
[18:59] All that AI has done today and the concept of wipe coding is it has reduced
[19:03] concept of wipe coding is it has reduced the requirement of I would say uh how
[19:08] the requirement of I would say uh how technical you need to be to achieve
[19:10] technical you need to be to achieve let's say simple tasks.
[19:12] let's say simple tasks. So if you want to just today create a
[19:14] So if you want to just today create a nicel looking website a page uh and I
[19:17] nicel looking website a page uh and I forgot to mention actually w coding is
[19:19] forgot to mention actually w coding is also extending into wbe marketing but
[19:21] also extending into wbe marketing but maybe we'll sort of tackle the topic in
[19:24] maybe we'll sort of tackle the topic in a separate podcast but sure if you
[19:26] a separate podcast but sure if you really look at wbe coding it u helps you
[19:29] really look at wbe coding it u helps you with all the technical tools and the sky
[19:31] with all the technical tools and the sky is the limit and I do find nontechnical
[19:35] is the limit and I do find nontechnical folks but who are good in that domain
[19:37] folks but who are good in that domain salespeople
[19:38] salespeople chemistry professors
[19:41] chemistry professors uh marketers they have enthusiastically
[19:44] uh marketers they have enthusiastically adopted and they've been able to come up
[19:45] adopted and they've been able to come up with some very good ideas
[19:49] with some very good ideas and uh some of them actually have also
[19:52] and uh some of them actually have also like sort of uh started earning revenue
[19:55] like sort of uh started earning revenue in the millions of dollars some of them
[19:56] in the millions of dollars some of them actually sold also uh I recently heard
[19:59] actually sold also uh I recently heard one of them actually sold it for some 8
[20:01] one of them actually sold it for some 8 million or so a white coded tool in less
[20:03] million or so a white coded tool in less than six months so obviously nobody's
[20:06] than six months so obviously nobody's going to pay you 8 million for something
[20:08] going to pay you 8 million for something which is uh not sophisticated and good
[20:11] which is uh not sophisticated and good right now. How much of a depth as I said
[20:15] right now. How much of a depth as I said every bit of technical uh expertise is
[20:19] every bit of technical uh expertise is very good with w coding because as the
[20:22] very good with w coding because as the generations are very apt to say right we
[20:24] generations are very apt to say right we can take it to the really next level
[20:27] can take it to the really next level but that doesn't stop you as I said to
[20:29] but that doesn't stop you as I said to achieve a lot of things I would rather
[20:31] achieve a lot of things I would rather say start experimenting
[20:34] say start experimenting because the AI and the LLMs and whatever
[20:36] because the AI and the LLMs and whatever agents and technology behind all of this
[20:38] agents and technology behind all of this is daily improving
[20:41] is daily improving right So it's like if you know it it's
[20:45] right So it's like if you know it it's better if you don't know it doesn't
[20:48] better if you don't know it doesn't really you know sort of stop you from uh
[20:51] really you know sort of stop you from uh achieving what you want right know the
[20:53] achieving what you want right know the limitations use the w coding framework I
[20:56] limitations use the w coding framework I think you are all good to go on w coding
[21:01] think you are all good to go on w coding thank you chandra I think that will be
[21:02] thank you chandra I think that will be really good input for all of those who
[21:05] really good input for all of those who are exploring and want to get into w
[21:07] are exploring and want to get into w coding and um good thing is uh as
[21:11] coding and um good thing is uh as chandra that you just start
[21:12] chandra that you just start experimenting uh just get started and uh
[21:16] experimenting uh just get started and uh especially those who are uh even those
[21:18] especially those who are uh even those who are non-technical uh if you want to
[21:21] who are non-technical uh if you want to develop using your subject matter
[21:22] develop using your subject matter expertise to come up with an app which
[21:25] expertise to come up with an app which may be useful for your domain um as
[21:28] may be useful for your domain um as Chandu said just get started and
[21:29] Chandu said just get started and experiment. So thank you so much Andrew
[21:32] experiment. So thank you so much Andrew for sharing all your views um and your
[21:35] for sharing all your views um and your experience in the process of white
[21:37] experience in the process of white coding and uh we hope to get some more
[21:40] coding and uh we hope to get some more information and inputs from you as we go
[21:42] information and inputs from you as we go along in our series. Thank you so much
[21:44] along in our series. Thank you so much for your time. Sure. Just before we sort
[21:47] for your time. Sure. Just before we sort of leave this spot, I'll just uh
[21:50] of leave this spot, I'll just uh maybe if I have the screen, I will just
[21:53] maybe if I have the screen, I will just quickly show because at the end of the
[21:55] quickly show because at the end of the day, nothing like showing people on the
[21:58] day, nothing like showing people on the screen as to what um so I'll just
[22:01] screen as to what um so I'll just probably take only one uh sample. Sure.
[22:04] probably take only one uh sample. Sure. And uh those who want to get started
[22:06] And uh those who want to get started off, right?
[22:07] off, right? So on the screen you would see
[22:12] So on the screen you would see um a tool called Lavable. Lable is today
[22:16] um a tool called Lavable. Lable is today one of the topmost tools for white
[22:19] one of the topmost tools for white coding. And as you are seeing the text
[22:22] coding. And as you are seeing the text which is running out over here. You can
[22:26] which is running out over here. You can just ask Lable to create a internal
[22:28] just ask Lable to create a internal tool, a dashboard, a website. You can
[22:31] tool, a dashboard, a website. You can actually create lot of very stunning
[22:33] actually create lot of very stunning websites and tools using Lable. Right.
[22:36] websites and tools using Lable. Right. up and the good thing is they give you
[22:39] up and the good thing is they give you some free credits so you can without
[22:41] some free credits so you can without paying money you can get started off
[22:43] paying money you can get started off probably do lot of uh sites as I'm just
[22:46] probably do lot of uh sites as I'm just slowly scrolling and I'm trying to show
[22:48] slowly scrolling and I'm trying to show it to you the sky is the limit you're
[22:52] it to you the sky is the limit you're only going to be limited by your
[22:54] only going to be limited by your imagination and you are seeing
[22:57] imagination and you are seeing everything from crypto trading sites
[23:00] everything from crypto trading sites being created to probably
[23:04] being created to probably more in terms of travel and tourism and
[23:07] more in terms of travel and tourism and also in terms of personal productivity
[23:11] also in terms of personal productivity software, right? And as you can see the
[23:14] software, right? And as you can see the designs, the sort of thought processes
[23:18] designs, the sort of thought processes are quite in line with what you would
[23:21] are quite in line with what you would want to you know sort of uh do where it
[23:26] want to you know sort of uh do where it makes sense for you. Right? So the range
[23:31] makes sense for you. Right? So the range which actually people have exhibited is
[23:35] which actually people have exhibited is unbelievable right so it could be as
[23:37] unbelievable right so it could be as complicated as saying that hey can I
[23:38] complicated as saying that hey can I actually play chess maybe it's a chess
[23:40] actually play chess maybe it's a chess engine or it could be as simple as and
[23:43] engine or it could be as simple as and probably something we do on a daily
[23:44] probably something we do on a daily basis how do I sort of work with PDFs
[23:48] basis how do I sort of work with PDFs right so I would strongly encourage
[23:51] right so I would strongly encourage people to you know look at tools and
[23:54] people to you know look at tools and probably start with lovable because I
[23:56] probably start with lovable because I have personally found out lovable able
[23:58] have personally found out lovable able the user interface uh in terms of the
[24:01] the user interface uh in terms of the final output right it's very colorful
[24:04] final output right it's very colorful and uh very modern uh there are certain
[24:07] and uh very modern uh there are certain things around prompt and prompt
[24:08] things around prompt and prompt engineering which again we will talk in
[24:10] engineering which again we will talk in a separate podcast how to actually use
[24:12] a separate podcast how to actually use this in white coding but this is a good
[24:14] this in white coding but this is a good space because it'll give you the
[24:15] space because it'll give you the confidence to get started on w coding
[24:17] confidence to get started on w coding then of course you can try lot of other
[24:19] then of course you can try lot of other tools which are out over there but it's
[24:21] tools which are out over there but it's just plain English nice looking outputs
[24:24] just plain English nice looking outputs get you the confidence use the w coding
[24:26] get you the confidence use the w coding framework and you're all
[24:28] framework and you're all Okay, thank you so much. Thanks Chandra.
[24:31] Okay, thank you so much. Thanks Chandra. One last word. So thank you so much for
[24:32] One last word. So thank you so much for sharing uh the tool as well and for all
[24:34] sharing uh the tool as well and for all our listeners out there um you want to
[24:37] our listeners out there um you want to venture out in bite coding and get
[24:38] venture out in bite coding and get started with this tool to begin with. So
[24:41] started with this tool to begin with. So thank you so much once again for your
[24:42] thank you so much once again for your time and hopefully we'll catch up soon
[24:44] time and hopefully we'll catch up soon on our next podcast. We'll do that.
[24:46] on our next podcast. We'll do that. Thank you so much Hamsa. Thanks for the
[24:47] Thank you so much Hamsa. Thanks for the time. Goodbye. Abide.
