"The San Francisco-based designer with no formal engineering training had turned to platforms like Replit, ChatGPT, and Cursor. It wasn't until she discovered Anthropic's Claude in January that things started to click. She copied the code generated from Claude into Xcode - a tool for building apps on Apple devices - even when she didn't fully understand how it worked."
"Chen said people who want to vibe code should treat prompting AI like "gentle parenting." "You have to be very intentional, very specific, and I think you have to be very nice," she said. Sometimes, AI needs to be "babied," she said. When Claude got stuck, she broke down instructions step-by-step until it understood. When Karima Williams felt herself spiraling emotionally, she turned to Claude, which she said helped her process emotions she wasn't ready to share with others."
Non-technical individuals are using AI-assisted tools and low-code platforms to build apps, prototypes, and workflows outside formal engineering roles. A product designer built Dog-e-dex, an iOS app for cataloguing dogs, by combining Replit, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Anthropic's Claude, copying generated code into Xcode and iterating via previews. A mother used Claude to process emotions and create an app to help others emotionally reset. Successful vibe coding often requires precise, patient prompting, breaking tasks into small steps, and willingness to experiment despite incomplete understanding of underlying code.
