How Anyone Can Build Meaningful AI Without Code - Ep. 283

Hello. Welcome to the NVIDIA AI podcast. I'm your host, Noah Kravitz. Before we begin, a quick reminder, if you're enjoying the podcast, take a second to follow us wherever you get your podcasts. It helps us out, and it helps you out by making sure you never miss an episode that just show up in your feed. My guest today is Shania Levin. Shania is the cofounder and CEO of Impromptu AI. They're focused on helping nontechnical folks create AI products, which is, as Shania and I were just saying before we hit record, it's where a lot of focus is these days. So this is gonna be a great conversation, and let's get into it. Shania, thank you for joining the podcast. So happy to have you. Thank you so much for having me. It's been such an honor. So let's start with a little bit about your background, if you don't mind, and then getting into, you know, what inspired you to to cofound and build Impromptu and tell us what it's all about. Absolutely. So, background is I I studied business and computer science, and then I spent, some time at Google working on developer tools, for Google Home and Android, helping, you know, build Android applications for millions of developers all over the world. And then I spent some time at eBay working on both ads and more traditional machine learning, which was super fun. And then I got tired of of just, you know, working at big companies, so I was like, I'm gonna try this startup thing. And, I then went on to Cloudflare, and then I was a direct senior director product at Docker, and then I was head of product at a series c company, startup company, and then, I decided to go out on my own. I built a company called, CodeC, which was, helping developers to master the understanding of their code bases, which back in 2019 was revolutionary. It's like the, the BT before transformer era or something. I don't know if we can call it. Exactly. I've been doing this a really long time helping people to understand their code. And, we built something called CodeCAI, which basically allowed you to chat with your code base. So I was in the, you know, GPT two beta, like, way early in the process. And so we were building, this generative system back then, and then Coatsy got acquired. And I decided to take some time off and travel around the world. Fantastic. I ended up really starting off, building, just a very simple app with Lovable. Tried to do that. And, of course, being the technical person that I am, I really broke it. I just full full on broke it. And then I put a pause on that. I ended up taking a role for, a short amount of time at a subsidiary of Fox Sports to help them with their AI. And right around the same …
