Here’s a quick look at what’s new in the “vibe coding” space and which tools are resonating most with teams today.

The rise of vibe coding

Over the past year, we’ve seen a shift in how teams build software. The traditional dev stack still exists. But increasingly, teams are reaching for faster, lighter tools powered by AI, no-code editors, and smarter workflows.

These tools aren’t just for engineers. Designers, PMs, support teams, and founders are all building apps, prototypes, and internal tools without waiting on developer time.

This movement has been referred to as vibe coding and we’ve mapped out the landscape into four key groups, based on fidelity and user type:

Who’s using what

The 11 best vibe coding tools

Zite

Airtable

Lovable

Replit

Bolt.New

Cursor

Claude Code

Cursor Agent

Devin

Figma Make

For business users building production apps

These platforms let PMs, ops, and non-technical teams build real, working tools often without writing code.

1 Zite

Despite its recent launch, Zite has quickly gained users for building internal portals, client dashboards, and lightweight apps all without needing to loop in engineering. This is especially popular with operations and support teams. It’s flexible enough for simple use cases but powerful enough to scale with your team.

2 Airtable

Airtable continues to be a go-to for structured data workflows. It’s flexible, visual, and easy to extend into real apps using extensions or integrations. It works especially well as the “backend” for teams that don’t want to manage databases.

For entrepreneurs building software

These tools are used by founders and indie hackers who want to ship fast from side projects to production SaaS.

3 Lovable

Lovable is a tool for building branded, polished web apps combining design and code. Ideal for solo founders who want strong visual identity from day one. The design-to-code workflow makes it feel closer to Webflow, but with more developer flexibility.

4 Replit

Replit is a cloud-based IDE with built-in deployments, AI assistance, and multiplayer coding. Great for fast iteration and building live apps in the browser. You can go from “new file” to deployed app without ever leaving the tab.

5 Bolt.New

Note: This app doesn’t work on Safari browsers.

Bolt.New helps early-stage founders launch quickly by handling auth, backend setup, and scaffolding. Gets out of the way so you can focus on features. It’s particularly useful for standard SaaS setups like subscriptions, logins, and teams.

For engineers in large code bases

These are production-grade tools used by engineering teams shipping real software. Most are AI-powered, with deep codebase context and a focus on speed.

6 Cursor

Engineers use Cursor to write, refactor, and debug with AI that understands their repo. It’s an AI-native code editor built for large codebases. This is especially helpful for repetitive changes across multiple files or navigating unfamiliar code.

7 Claude Code

Powered by Anthropic’s Claude, Claude Code this assistant supports long-context reasoning and code generation across large projects. Especially useful for collaboration and explaining complex logic. It’s strong at answering “why” questions about your code, not just writing new lines.

For engineers working on prototypes

These platforms are used for testing ideas, exploring solutions, or mocking up early features.

8 Cursor Agent

Cursor Agent offers a fast way to test fixes or ideas based on Slack threads, GitHub issues, or internal bug reports. Useful for quick validation or triage. It’s best for small, scoped tasks where speed matters more than structure.

9 Devin

Devin is an AI software engineer that can build, test, and deploy small apps autonomously. Still early, but promising for internal prototypes. It’s more of a research tool today, but early adopters are using it to explore new workflows.

For designers and PMs prototyping features

These tools are used by non-technical team members to test flows, mock up components, or hand off ideas to engineering.

10 Figma Make

Figma Make turns designs into partially functional prototypes. Great for PMs and designers to test flows or communicate ideas clearly. It helps bridge the gap between design and engineering in fast-moving teams, especially during early product exploration.

11 V0

From Vercel, V0 lets you describe a UI component and get production-ready React code back. Useful for generating real components early in the process. It’s also a helpful companion when writing UI specs or collaborating with front-end devs.

Vibe coding isn’t a single tool, but a shift in how teams build. Engineers move faster with AI in complex codebases. PMs, designers, and founders launch tools without dev support. These workflows are becoming the norm.

We hope this gives you a clearer view of the space. Thanks for reading!
