PSA: I just blew $200 on a 'no-code' AI tool that was basically a scam
I saw an ad for this tool called 'AutoBuild AI' that promised to create custom apps with just a text prompt, no coding needed. I paid for the annual plan upfront, which was $200. The output was total garbage, just a broken HTML page that didn't do anything it was supposed to. The support team ghosted me after one email. It was a complete waste of money and a week of my time trying to make it work. Has anyone else gotten burned by these overhyped 'AI solution' platforms? What's a legit alternative for someone who can't code?

My cousin fell for a similar scam with a tool that promised to make websites.

That tool cost him over two grand? I heard about those fake website builders.

@annajenkins tell your cousin to check their credit card statement for weird charges. Those fake tools often have hidden monthly fees that add up fast. My friend got stuck paying $50 a month for a year before he noticed. Always read the fine print on ANY website builder offer.
