"A new Chinese vibe-coding tool exploded in popularity last week, so of course, I had to test it. LingGuang, an AI app for building apps using plain-language prompts, launched on November 18. By Monday, it had racked up over 2 million downloads. Chinese tech group Ant Group, which built the tool, said the surge of users briefly crashed the app's flash program feature. To see what the hype was about, I took LingGuang for a spin - and stacked it against OpenAI's ChatGPT."
"LingGuang offers a feature that caught my eye: an artificial general intelligence camera. Ant Group said it can understand scenes in real time and help users analyze or edit what they're looking at without uploading a photo. I first tested it at work, with wild results. I pointed my phone camera at a startup founder speaking in a podcast video clip, and LingGuang instantly recognized him and named the company he started."
LingGuang launched on November 18 and gained over two million downloads within days, briefly crashing a flash program feature. The app, built by Ant Group, uses plain-language prompts to build apps and includes an AGI camera that understands scenes in real time without uploading images. The camera recognized a startup founder from a podcast clip and identified supermarket products, surfacing details like protein levels, flavor, sweetener presence, and suitability. Voice mode compares product attributes with web data to recommend most nutritious, best value, and lactose-free options. The interface contrasts with ChatGPT's minimal backdrop.
