Is "Vibe Coding" the literacy of the 21st century?
In Part 2 of this Tech Deep Dive, Bobby (Creative Director) and Luke (Senior Motion Graphics Artist) discuss how natural language and LLMs can bridge the gap between having a problem to solve and using software to solve it. We explore how to go from zero coding knowledge to deploying three functional production tools in under two weeks.
A Note on the Format: This is the second half of our deep dive into recent advances in creative AI tools.
In this episode, we breakdown the "Vibe Coding" methodology—using Google AI Studio to architect complex software simply by describing the desired outcome. We demo our own "Budget Factory" and "Call Sheet Pro" apps, and show how to use Gemini’s "Deep Think" model to critique and refine UI design.
In this episode, we cover:
- The Concept: Why Vibe Coding is like "driving a motorboat" when you don't know how to swim.
- The Demo: Building a shoot logistics dashboard in 60 seconds.
- The Workflow: Using Gemini 3.0 (Deep Think) to act as a Senior Developer and critique your code.
- The Visuals: Using Nano Banana Pro to turn messy handwritten notes into beautiful infographics.
- The Thumbnails: A breakdown of using Adobe Firefly Boards for YouTube A/B testing.
Featured Tools:
- Google AI Studio
- Google Gemini (Deep Think)
- Nano Banana Pro
