AI On The Couch Ep 2 | What is Vibe Coding?

from The AI Corner Hosted by Mike Bayly

Erin left the AI hackathon buzzing with questions about a new buzzword she kept hearing: vibe coding.Love by some. Hated by others. Instead of typing lines of code, developers (and even non-developers) are now using natural language to spin up apps in minutes. Tools like Lovable make it possible to say “build me something like Airbnb” and instantly see a working prototype take shape.In this episode of AI On The Couch, Erin puts Mike on the spot to explain what vibe coding actually is, why it matters, and whether it really means anyone can build software without being technical.From prototypes that look like Slack to why great developers are more valuable than ever, we explore what vibe coding accelerates, where it falls short, and how it changes the future of building software.Chapters:00:00 – What is vibe coding?00:30 – How Lovable works01:29 – Talking to apps in natural language02:23 – Cloning Airbnb and Slack03:22 – Why developers still matter04:20 – The acceleration effectNo jargon, no hype, just clarity on what AI can actually do, how it saves time, and which tools are worth your attention.SUBSCRIBE TO STAY AHEAD:NZ AI News: https://theaicorner.co.nz/subscribeNZ AI Events: https://theaicorner.co.nz/p/ai-events-in-new-zealand
