MVP Development With AI Tools: Ship in Weeks, Not Months

Dev.to AI
Generative AI

Most founders treat MVP development like it's still 2019 - six months of engineering, a big launch, and a prayer. The founders raising money right now are shipping working prototypes in three to four weeks. The difference isn't budget. It's knowing which AI tools to use and in what order. MVP development with AI tools isn't about vibe-coding a rough sketch and calling it done. It's a repeatable process that compresses timelines, cuts engineering costs, and lets you validate before you've burned your runway.
