What my sim racing PC build taught me about no-code AI automations

I hope you had an awesome weekend!

I certainly did as I started ordering the parts to my first sim racing PC. It's a newfound hobby of mine, I love karting, car racing, F1 and simulator racing too.

The simulator is great to get some off season practice in, or to drive cars that I couldn't drive otherwise.

Turns out that ordering PC parts that are compatible with one another is actually a bigger challenge than I first thought.

You know, first you need to pick a good CPU and GPU combo.

You gotta make sure that they are balanced in performance, otherwise you'll be overpaying for one of them as the other will be a bottleneck.

Then you find a motherboard compatible with them.

Then find RAM and SSD compatible with the motherboard.

And last you get a power supply, CPU cooler, fans and a case.

If in the middle of it you decide to switch CPU manufacturer (like the AMD chip is no good for you and you want Intel instead), you can pretty much scrap the entire process and start again.

Luckily, I have a few friends who share this passion with me and helped put together a build that satisfies my needs, without me needing to do all this research by myself.

I also used a Custom GPT that had access to a PC builder database, so I could quickly check for compatibility issues.

On Friday, I didn't even know what kind of brands I could choose from, what a DDR5 RAM is vs. a DDR4 (I still don't, I just know it's faster and better and more expensive) or the difference between two motherboards with the exact same slots where one is $200, the other one is $500.

To be honest, if I had to do an exam answering questions about HOW the PC works, I'd certainly fail.

But by Saturday I already ordered the first parts, and knew everything I needed to know.

Not knowing how a PC works on a computer science level doesn't mean that I won't be able to put it together once the parts arrive and that I won't be able to use it and have fun with it.

And it just dawned on me how similar this is to building no-code AI applications.

Just like how you don't need to understand how a GPU makes billions of arithmetics per second to have 300 FPS, you don't need to understand how GPT generates the text in order to get the best outputs.

Building a no-code app is like assembling a PC (maybe even easier).

You have a motherboard, which is the platform. Just like how the transistors are already printed for you on the motherboard, the code is already written for you.

Then you have the different parts of the PC, just like there are different software integrations for no-code apps.

Swapping the old 2x4GB RAM modules to 2x16GB is the same as swapping GPT-3.5-turbo to GPT-4-turbo or GPT-5 in the no-code platform.

(Actually, swapping the GPT is easier, because in case of the RAM, you need to make sure your new RAM is compatible with the motherboard, so you have limitations.)

Assembling a PC with the parts built for you is easy. You only need a screwdriver and a few hours. Just like a no-code app.

Building a PC (read: making all the parts from scratch) is really difficult. You'd need a whole factory. Just like how difficult (and slow) writing a software with code is.

No-code apps are pretty much about selecting the right building blocks (which software you use) and then assigning the right variables to make it work well.

You need to:

  • Know how to use the no-code tool (easy)
  • Know how to prompt engineer the AI modules inside well enough to get good outputs (medium-easy)
  • Know how to think about processes and systems (easy)

And in our 2024 Prompt Master Course, we'll teach you all of this (and more). As a reminder, our early bird 50% discount price is gone in 24 hours! (April 9th, 5PM CEST). Click here to sign up today!

So if you've been thinking of signing up, joining now can save you some money.

If you're worried about not finding value inside, we have a 100% satisfacion money-back guarantee.

Just drop us an email if you're unsatisfied and we'll refund your entire payment, no questions asked.

Legally we are only bound to do a 14-day money back guarantee, but we never look at that. We have never refused a refund request, even months after purchase.

Maybe we should increase it to 90 days. Let me ask David what he thinks.

In the meanwhile, as this new course is in pre-order, the refund period doesn't even start until the last video is delivered.

Oh about the schedule and what you get once you sign up:

First of all, right now, you get instant and lifetime access to all our current courses (roughly 20-25 hours worth of) high value per minute videos. The videos are structured based on topics and learning outcomes, and last usually between 5-10 minutes. People love it!

Then you also get instant and lifetime access to our community with the other students. We currently have hundreds of DAILY active users, who help each other, and it's lovely to see!

And once we're ready to publish the 2024 Prompt Master Course videos, you'll get access to those too.

The current progress on the course is that 9/12 weeks of modules are already done (and published to the university students who took this accredited course) in Hungarian, and we started translating the slides to English, once that's done, I can record the same thing in English, and upload it.

We will have all modules done by the end of April in Hungarian, and probably a few weeks later in English. So this is why it's a pre-order discount.

In the meanwhile, David just got back to me and he agreed to do a 90-day money back guarantee, so 90 days it is.

You can come in RISK FREE, soak all the knowledge, inspiration and skills you want in 90 days, and still ask for a full refund and we'll give it to you!

I think it's a good deal. What do you think?

Let me know,
