Nick Dobos, maker of the #1 programming GPT, on prompt-gramming with AI Nick Dobos showed me how to ship a website with two words and a single click. He’s the creator of Grimoire, the #1 custom GPT for programming that has been used for over 1 million chats. All he gave Grimoire was two words: “coffee website.” Just a minute later, Grimoire built the website and pushed it live to the internet. It was wild. Grimoire can do a lot more than create websites—it’s a coding assistant with 75+ built-in hotkey commands and sample projects, a guide to learning how to code from scratch, and a tool for programmers to find answers to their questions in real-time. Before he created Grimoire, Nick was an iOS developer at Twitter. When ChatGPT came out, Nick started experimenting with it—and ended up building Grimoire. Today, he’s at the leading edge of experimenting and building with AI. I sat down with Nick to explore how people are using Grimoire and what it tells us about the age of programming by prompting. We dive into: How AI is massively lowering the barriers to code Why it’s important to solve the “blank canvas problem” that people experience while creating with AI How AI tools can streamline your creative process Why Grimoire has an edge over ordinary ChatGPT The best ways to use Grimoire to code smarter and faster This is a must-watch for coders, creative people, and anyone curious about how AI is changing the way we interact with computers.
