Show Notes: What Is Vibe Coding & How Could We Use It?
In this episode of The AI Moment, Jonathan and I tackle a phrase that has been buzzing around the industry this year: Vibe Coding. It might sound like just another buzzword, but for non-technical leaders, marketers, and product teams, it represents a massive shift in how we work.
We demystify what vibe coding actually is—essentially, using AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Replit to "code up" solutions without needing a computer science degree. Whether it is automating a tedious weekly report that pulls data from five different sources or building a rapid prototype for a new campaign landing page, vibe coding is bridging the gap between having an idea and executing it.
Key Takeaways for you:
It is for everyone: You don't need to be a developer. Tools like Relay and Zapier allow you to script simple automations, while more advanced environments like Lovable or Cursor let you build actual web apps.
Speed to market: I shared how product teams are using this to test ideas. You can spin up a personalised landing page, run paid traffic to it, and validate a concept before committing expensive engineering resources.
The "Backend" Warning: We discussed a critical reality check. AI can build a beautiful interface, but you must ensure the plumbing (like email triggers or CRM updates) actually works.
Security First: A major watch-out from the episode—AI doesn't always follow security best practices. Be careful not to leave sensitive API keys or user data exposed in your generated code.
Don't be intimidated. Our advice is to start small. Go and play with a tool like Relay today. Try to script one boring task you do every week. It is about building confidence in a safe environment so you can eventually speed up your entire workflow.
Tools Mentioned: Relay, Zapier, Replit, Figma, Lovable, Claude, Cursor.
