Built an App with AI Agents — The Good, Bad & Weird

Last month, I decided to challenge myself: build an entire app using only AI agents (no manual coding).

What happened:

The good: It handled boilerplate tasks instantly—database setup, authentication, UI scaffolding. I saved days of work.

The bad: Debugging AI-generated code is a nightmare. Sometimes it invented functions that didn’t exist.

The weird: One AI agent started adding random “fun facts” into the comments. Not helpful, but oddly entertaining.

I think AI agents are amazing for prototyping and “first drafts,” but dangerous if you rely on them for mission-critical systems without review.

Has anyone else here gone all-in with AI for development? Did it speed you up or slow you down?
