I'm a dad of 4 with zero coding experience , I built a side hustle AI coach app in a week
I'm a full-time online reseller (eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Poshmark, Amazon) and a stay at home dad of four. I've never written a line of code in my life.
Last week I built and launched GrindGuideAI , an AI-powered side hustle coach with 85 real-money challenges (so far) across flipping, digital products, services, creative work, and physical products.
The whole thing was built using Claude Code. Total cost to launch: under $50.
What it does:
- 85 real challenges with step-by-step plans (not "start a dropshipping store" type advice)
- AI coach that adapts to your skills, budget, schedule and current challenge
- Leveled progression (L1 → L2 → L3)
- Profit tracking
- Weekly check-ins
Stack: React/TypeScript frontend on Vercel, Node/Express backend on Render, PostgreSQL, Stripe for payments, Anthropic API for AI features.
It's free to use — Pro is $8/month for upgraded AI coaching and extra features. Use code PRODUCTHUNT for a free month.

Happy to answer anything about building with AI, reselling, or launching with zero technical background.
