One tool, Cursor, became the fastest-growing software app to reach $100 million in annual revenue in January. Another coding tool, Replit, says it has enabled users to make more than two million apps in six months. The company has 34 million global users as of November. Both Replit and Cursor have free tiers for users to experiment with vibe coding before upgrading to a $20 per month pro-level subscription.<\/p>\n<p>Even tech CEOs are vibe coding. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in June that he used Cursor and Replit to \u201cbuild a custom webpage\u201d containing all the sources of information he wanted in one place.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his experience vibe coding, Pichai says Google will keep hiring human engineers and growing its engineering workforce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just view this [AI] as making engineers dramatically more productive,\u201d Pichai said at Bloomberg Tech in June.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><b>Nvidia\u2019s CEO Says It No Longer Matters If You Never Learned to Code: \u2018There\u2019s a New Programming Language\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Vibe coding does have its downsides. AI tools can make mistakes, pose security threats and present results that look generic or similar to those found in other public projects.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the U.S. market for AI code assistants is expected to grow from $1.8 billion in 2024 to $12.4 billion by 2034, indicating surging demand for vibe coding tools.<\/p>\n<p>How can you vibe code an app? Here are four simple steps to help you get started.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Choose a vibe coding platform<\/h2>\n<p>Start by selecting a user-friendly AI platform that can generate code. Here are a few options:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lovable is ideal for absolute beginners with zero coding experience. It generates instant results.<\/li>\n<li>Replit requires understanding file structure and minor debugging. It\u2019s ideal for users who want to learn foundational coding concepts or transition from no-code to writing code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Describe the app you want to build in plain language<\/h2>\n<p>Draft your first prompt clearly. For example: \u201cDesign a landing page for a fictional product, including a hero section, feature list and call to action\u201d or \u201cCreate a simple to-do list app with add, delete and mark as complete functionalities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The AI will create an app structure, design and logic from this description. Being more specific will improve the results.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Improve the app<\/h2>\n<p>You can improve the app after generating a first draft of it. For example, you can prompt the AI code assistant to \u201cAdd dark mode and a settings page\u201d or \u201cUse teal and orange colors for buttons.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Hit publish<\/h2>\n<p>Lovable has a one-click publish feature that instantly generates a shareable link. For Replit, you have to press \u201cDeploy,\u201d and the build goes live on replit.dev.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related: I Designed My Dream Home For Free With an AI Architect \u2014 Here\u2019s How It Works<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"tw:mt-0 tw:mb-1 tw:font-sans tw:text-2xl\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"tw:font-semibold tw:font-sans tw:text-base tw:marker:text-blue-600\">\n<li>Vibe coding means asking AI to code an app or webpage based on simple language prompts.<\/li>\n<li>The practice helps non-programmers create an app without writing a line of code. <\/li>\n<li>The four steps to vibe coding an app are: Pick a platform, describe the app you want to build, refine the output and hit publish. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>You don\u2019t need a computer science degree to build an app with AI.<\/p>\n<p>Recent advances in AI have transformed app creation into something conversational and accessible to non-programmers, according to a Friday report from the <i>New York Times<\/i>.
