Sometimes the best journeys start with a shrug and a sign-up form.
“I must have signed up for a waitlist or something... I honestly had no idea what an agent was. But I thought, I could be an early adopter to this AI stuff.”
Shaalin Parekh didn’t set out to become a builder. As a consultant deeply familiar with go-to-market in financial services, he was just looking for ways to stay ahead of the AI curve. But the moment he started playing with workflows and prompting, something clicked.
“You're a product manager in that. You have to think about the user experience, lowest friction way to use it, and readability of the output.”
Suddenly, his domain expertise wasn't just strategy; it became a blueprint. He knew the pain points. He knew how to simplify them. And that knowledge started transforming into agents. One of those experiments? The Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) Builder.
“It’s been used over 13,000 times... The feedback was really positive. It’s amazing what can happen when you just get some of this stuff right.”
What started as curiosity turned into contribution. And along the way, Shaalin unlocked something many in this community are discovering: the future of building belongs to specialists who aren’t afraid to experiment.
So if you’re a subject matter expert, even if you’ve never written a line of code, Shaalin’s story is proof that you’re closer to building something useful than you think.
