Think creating a custom app for your business requires a six-figure budget and a team of developers? Think again. In this episode, Katie and Noel break down how AI has transformed app development from a years-long, expensive process into something you can build in hours or weeks with tools like Google AI Studio (completely free) and Claude.

They reveal why small businesses are ditching expensive SaaS subscriptions to build their own apps, how to use Make.com webhooks to connect everything without coding APIs, and the realistic costs (spoiler: around £50/month max for hosting, often less). Plus, Noel shares his process for building apps in just 1-2 hours a day while AI does the heavy lifting.

Perfect for service-based business owners, solopreneurs, and small teams who want to consolidate their tech stack, integrate disconnected systems like CRMs and client portals, and finally build exactly what they need—not what a SaaS package forces them to pay for.
