Automating Software Application Development with AI | Zvonimir Sabljic, Pythagora
In this episode of the Tesoro AI podcast, host Darius Gant interviews Zvonimir Sabljic 'Z', the founder of Pythagora, an AI-based tool that automates coding tasks and helps build applications from scratch. Z discusses his career journey, starting with a collaborative whiteboard startup that was eventually acquired by Miro. The conversation then shifts to Pythagora, the motivations behind focusing on AI, and how the technology evolved from generating HTML/CSS to creating entire applications from user specifications. The episode also covers the transition from traditional coding to AI-driven solutions, the benefits of such innovations, and insights from Z's experience with Y Combinator. Z highlights how Pythagora is cutting down on development time significantly and empowering individuals and companies to innovate rapidly without extensive coding knowledge.
