BuildShip, The Tool That Will 100X Your Productivity

Hello friends!

Last week got more than a little bit hectic around here and we missed the ship on sending this out! We apologize for this!

We are also striving to build towards a newsletter structure that

1. Actually gives you what you want

2. In the most efficient format

3. Without taking a massive amount of time

To that end, we have decided that each of these newsletters will have 5 sections:

1. Tool: A no code tool, and a short description of it

2. Leader: Someone in the space who is making waves (CEO, creator, builder, etc.)

3. New Features: A cool feature released by some no code platform this week!

4. Story: An amazing story someone shared this week when working with no code.

5. How To Video: A video we found useful or insightful.

Let’s jump in!

Tool: BuildShip

BuildShip is my new favorite tool for building my backend.

Having used Zapier and Make, I say the above with a great degree of honesty. BuildShip makes it possible for me to do many of the things I have struggled to do with other low code automation tools. They also integrate directly with so many of my other favorite no code tools (FlutterFlow anyone?).

Not only that, but they are far cheaper than other no code, automation alternatives.

Next, BuildShip is insanely easy to use.

I was able to build an entire backend for my PlayBook project in one night. And I had never even used BuildShip before. Authentication, logic, and more, all completed in less than 4 hours.

Having built backends in the past, that’s a 100X increase in production speed.

Lastly, BuildShip is fast, and they ship even faster.

I get an email almost every week from Harini (BuildShip CEO) telling me that some new feature is released and ready for me to use on BuildShip.

Leader: Harini Janakiraman

If you haven’t connected with Harini yet on LinkedIn, and you’re in the low-code no-code space, I encourage you to do so.

As I said above: BuildShip ships fast (likely because they use BuildShip to build BuildShip…). When ChatGPT announced GPT-4o, BuildShip had integrated it into their system in less than 24 hours. Harini communicated it like a boss, with a video tutorial and everything.

She also collaborates with dozens of people across multiple sectors.

BuildShip lets her and her team spin up almost any kind of tool in less than 24 hours.

This means that whether she wants to do a Web3 hackathon, a FlutterFlow showcase, or a website chatbot integration, she can have it off the ground in under a week.

Those speeds were unheard of last year.

All things said: Harini and the entire BuildShip team are moving faster than almost anyone else in the space.

Features

Since I’m on a BuildShip rampage I’ll stick to it.

In the past two months they have released multiple features including:

1. AI Assistant Builder, with a prebuilt widget that you can embed on any website. Use any model, and give the assistant access to any node inside of BuildShip. This is godlike.

2. A FlutterFlow template tied into their AI Assistant Builder. Stream responses or other using Firebase as well.

3. New triggers. Lemon Squeezy, RevenueCat, email triggers, and scheduled interval trigger.

Every week BuildShip is releasing a new feature, or running a hackathon to use new features to build amazing things.

Story

Dan built a web3 app in 5 hours one evening using FlutterFlow, BuildShip, and

I was a solo freelance blockchain developer for a year and I can tell you, that is absolutely insane.

When I was building, putting together a legit backend and frontend for a web3 app took far, far, longer than 5 hours.

Low code tools are making it possible for one individual to bring a dream to life in a record breaking amount of time.

Dan was spotlighted by BuildShip for what he build (in 5 hours).

I encourage you to give it a read.

How To Video of the week

The video BuildShip put together when they released their AI Assistant builder was awesome. There aren’t many tools that let you build a custom AI assistant for any app in under 7 minutes. Check it out below:

I suggest you give the BuildShip Youtube channel a subscribe.

All of their videos are short, sweet, and to the point.

If you like this new format, please let us know!

Rosson and I truly want to bring you the most value, as efficiently as possible.

We can only do that with your feedback.

So if you enjoyed this, respond to this email and let us know what was great about it (or what sucked)!

Your no-code gurus,

Rosson and Sterling Long
