Learn to create with AI NoCode.
Hey, happy Tuesday, and welcome back to the Create With newsletter! ✨
We're here to summarise the latest in AI news and give you practical tips and ideas to get creating!
Let's get to it ⚡️
🔎 Preview: In today's issue
- ❓What does it mean to "Bootstrap"
- ⬆️ OpenAI releases ChatGPT 4.5
- 🍎 New Series: Decoded - how to build a video analysis app in Bubble
- 🎓 Tutorial: A deep dive into Zapier Agents
😣 Explain like I'm 5 (Jargon Buster)
If you're exploring the startup world, you'll hear people talk about "bootstrapping" their business.
Bootstrapping
Bootstrapping is when founders build and grow their business using personal savings and revenue from the business itself, without raising external funding from investors. It's like building a house with the materials and money you already have, rather than taking out a massive loan.
🤔 Why is it important right now
With AI and NoCode tools, bootstrapping is now remarkably accessible. Product launches that once required massive budgets and technical teams can happen in weeks instead of years, driving more founders toward self-funding in today's unpredictable investment climate.
😊 What you need to know as a non-techie
- 💰 Full Ownership: Keep 100% of your company and decision-making power
- 🎯 Focus on Revenue: Forces early attention on creating a profitable business model
- 🐢 Sustainable Growth: Build at a pace that matches your actual customer demand and lifestyle
🚀 Where to start:
Begin with small, revenue-generating projects that require minimal upfront investment. Explore NoCode AI tools like Bubble, Glide or Loveable to build your MVP without high development costs. Follow bootstrapped founders like Jason Fried (Basecamp), Arvid Kahl (Podscan) or Danielle Johnson (Leave Me Alone App).
🔊 On your radar
Keep your finger on the pulse on what's hot in the space right now
⭐️ ChatGPT 4.5 has been released and it's 'really good'. It's expensive to run and only available on the pro $200/month plan (for now)
👉 Based on our preliminary research it's really, really good at creative writing, better than Claude 3.7 Sonnet. If you need help writing an important email or working through a conflict with a friend, GPT-4.5 might be the way to go
⭐️ Ideogram released 2o. Fastest, most affordable model
👉 This matters as it's the closest beginner friendly AI image tool we've come across. It's remarkably good at text on an image.
!In a vibrant, ink-styled illustration, the phrase "What a time to be alive..." floats gracefully at the forefront, capturing the essence of modern marvels and challenges. Behind it, intricate line work depicts a harmonious yet chaotic blend of futuristic elements: on the left an early robot version, a towering quantum computer, a gleaming space rocket, on the right side, engineers using laptops. Warm hues illuminate the scene, casting a hopeful glow over the complex tapestry of humanity's achievements and dilemmas.
⭐️ AI is already doing our work. As of September 2024, 18% of financial consumer complaints, 24% of corporate press releases, and 15% of job postings showed signs of LLM writing.
👉 This matters because the silent integration of AI into professional writing is happening faster than most realise. For creators and entrepreneurs, this signals a critical shift toward focusing on creative direction and strategy rather than just content production.

🆕 NEW SERIES: DECODED
In this new series we're going to sit down with AI and NoCode experts to break down how they build, automate, and launch real-world projects—step by step. We've got loads of amazing experts coming up so keep your eyes peeled and make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube channel.
Imagine reducing a 22-minute process to just one minute with AI! In this episode, we dive into an incredible AI-powered app built with Bubble that automates dynamic risk assessments using video analysis.
Our guest, Mike, walks us through how the app extracts key hazards from a 30-second video, converts them into structured data, and delivers a finalised risk assessment—all in under 30 seconds.
Learn how API integrations, Cloudinary, OpenAI, and Bubble’s tools come together to streamline a process used across construction, utilities, and beyond.
If you're a Bubble dev, stay till the end for some advanced API and workflow insights!

TUTORIAL: ZAPIER AGENTS
In this video we dive into Zapier Agents, the most intuitive and accessible AI agent interface I’ve come across. When it works, it’s mind-blowing—a real insight into the future of agents.
This is an honest insight into the reality of using agents in early 2025. There are plenty of issues but also some real "wow" moments. In the tutorial I attempt to automate a restaurant booking process, replacing a very manual process with an AI agent flow.
👉 Watch the video to find out how it goes!
Final thoughts
It's been a fun week with a live Webflow vs Lovable battle watched by 40k+ people and the take off of AI built 3D games. Expect some opportunities for vibe coding video game platforms to appear soon.
