The idea has been sitting in a drawer for months
The idea for an internal tool, a customer portal or an automation has been there for ages. And still nothing has happened.
- Agency quotes start in the five figures — with months of waiting.
- Hiring a developer? Expensive, slow, and hard to justify for one project.
- No-code gets you to 80% fast — and then no further.
- So it stays the way it was: spreadsheets, notes, copy-paste.
You have probably heard it already. More and more business owners are building their own software. With AI. And without ever having programmed.
Quite the opposite: business owners who have never written a single line of code are suddenly building internal tools and automations they used to pay professional agencies a lot of money for.
Times have changed. And now it is your turn to benefit from it.
My name is Maximilian Paul Schmidt. I run one of those agencies myself. I build large software, and my projects start at $100,000. I build the things that even AI cannot just knock out quickly today. But that is not what this is about.
This is about simple things. Things you currently pay $10 to $100 a month for as a subscription. Or the tool you currently cover with two spreadsheets, which only works 80% of the way and costs you a lot of time.
I wrote this book for you and for exactly these projects, which, to be honest, are too small for me to take on. I want to spare you an agency charging you $5,000 or more for something you can do yourself in a few steps.
My book explains everything you need to build your own software. And it makes it as simple as creating a spreadsheet.
This is where I personally see the trend going: in a few years, building software will be a skill like creating spreadsheets. Business owners will be able to do it quickly themselves. The knowledge behind it, the bigger calculations and so on, will still need an expert.
So I am not worried about my job as a tech entrepreneur for now. And that is why I have no problem simply publishing what I have learned as a book.
Over the last 10 years I have delivered more than 50 large SaaS projects, that is, software as a service. The kind of software where customers enter their credit card and pay for it every month.
I have invested a high seven-figure sum in software projects myself and I am an investor in more than 10 companies. So I know exactly how to build software not just technically, but above all what makes customers use it. In a way that they may even be willing to pay for it every month.
I am now offering you all of this knowledge as a book. While supplies last, also as an exclusive hardcover.

What readers say
Amazon
I really liked this book because it doesn't make vibe coding unnecessarily complicated — it explains it from an entrepreneur's perspective. Especially if you have lots of ideas for processes, automations or your own software but don't want to hire a whole dev team, the approach is very valuable.

I discovered the book by chance on its release day, ordered it immediately and worked through it within a single day.

A book that really helps you get into 'doing'. Just as good for total beginners as for advanced readers, with genuinely useful practical tips — not just theory. It helped me build my own AI agent. Absolutely recommend it!

Fascinating what's already possible with AI today. I'll definitely apply it in my company. The book explains it very well.

Sample chapter
Preface
You're holding a book that couldn't have existed like this twelve months ago. Vibe coding — building real software with AI, by people without a classic programming background — has grown since early 2025 from a Twitter punchline into a serious discipline. Any entrepreneur who learns to wield these tools confidently over the next 24 months gains a structural advantage. After that it'll be as ordinary as Excel is today.
This book is written for you if you need software for your business — not because you want to become a programmer, but because your own application is exactly what gives your business leverage right now: an internal tool, a customer portal, an automation, a business idea like your own SaaS app.
What makes this book different. We don't use a no-code tool. We build with Claude Code locally on your machine, because that way you understand what's happening instead of clicking around in a black box. We validate your idea with real people before we write the first line of production code. And the German context — GDPR, EU hosting, data processing agreements — isn't an afterthought here, it's a deliberate part of the book.
What this book is not. It's not a way into a career as a software developer. It's not a guide to making 10,000 € a month over a weekend. After working through it, you'll be able to build prototypes, internal tools and simple production apps on your own — and you'll know when you can go it alone and when you need a pro.
Honestly
Who this book is for — and who it isn't
For you, if …
- You're a founder, freelancer or managing director.
- You have a software idea that would move your business — but no appetite for six-figure budgets.
- You want to build internal tools and automations yourself instead of waiting on agencies.
- You're curious about AI tools and ready to work in a structured way for 90 days.
- You want to understand what's happening — instead of clicking inside a no-code black box.
Not for you, if …
- You're looking to start a career as a software developer.
- You expect a get-rich-in-a-weekend guide.
- You want to build big, production systems without ever talking to a pro.
- You're not willing to commit to structured, disciplined work.
