Vibe coding: build your own software with AI
Vibe coding is building software by telling an AI what you want in plain words. This is where you learn to do it well. Pick a tool, pick a model, learn the method, and ship something real. The guides are free. So is the community.
★ Start with what you need
Learn vibe coding, one topic at a time
Each guide answers one question. Read the one that is blocking you today.
Frameworks
Spec driven development, context engineering and agentic coding. The method behind builds that hold up.
Learn the method →Models
The best AI for coding right now, from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. Compared and dated.
Compare the models →Claude skills
Teach Claude your way of working once, so you stop typing the same instructions.
Set up skills →Cursor vs Claude Code
Two of the main tools, side by side. What each costs and which one to learn first.
Pick your tool →Lovable pricing and limits
What Lovable costs, how credits work and where it stops.
See Lovable pricing →MCP servers
Connect Claude to your files, your database and the tools you already use.
Connect your tools →How to get good at vibe coding
The tools change every few weeks. This order does not.
- 01
Pick one real project
Choose something small that you want to exist. You learn faster when you care if it works.
- 02
Write the spec first
Say what it does, who it is for and how you will know it is done. Then ask the AI to build it.
- 03
Build in small steps
Ask for one piece. Check it works. Save it. Then ask for the next piece.
- 04
Test it with real people
A demo is not the finish line. Give it to five people and fix what breaks.
What vibe coding is good for, and where it stops
We use AI coding tools on every build. They are fast. They also cut corners you can't see in a demo. Know both sides before you start.
Good for: a first version
You can get a working app in front of people in days. That used to take months.
Good for: testing an idea
Build the smallest version, show it to buyers, and find out if they want it before you spend big.
Good for: tools for your own team
A small app that saves your team an hour a day is a great first project.
Watch out: logins and data
AI tools often leave gaps in who can see what. Check this before real users sign up.
Watch out: payments
Payments that work in a test can fail with real cards. Test them properly.
Watch out: the last 30%
The first 70% is quick. The last part takes skill. That is where a coach or a developer earns their keep.

We build for a living
200+ apps shipped since 2015, for founders, businesses and NSW Government.
We use these tools daily
Every guide here comes from real builds, not from reading the launch post.
We tell you where it breaks
We also fix AI-built apps that fall over with real users. So we know the weak spots.
Questions, answered
What is vibe coding in simple words?
You tell an AI what you want in plain words, and it writes the code. You check the result and ask for changes. Our plain-English guide to what vibe coding is covers the full answer.
Can I learn vibe coding with no coding background?
Yes. Plenty of people start with none. You still need to learn a few basics so you can read what the AI built: files, a database, logins and how to put an app live. Start with one small project.
Which vibe coding tool should I start with?
Pick one and stay on it for a month. If you want to stay in the browser, try an app builder like Lovable. If you are happy to work with code, try Claude Code or Cursor. Our tool guides compare them.
Is there a Devwiz vibe coding course?
No. We don't sell a course. The tools change too fast for recorded lessons. We run a free Skool community, and James offers 1 on 1 Vibe Coding Coaching if you want a coach beside you.
How much does Vibe Coding Coaching cost?
Coaching is $1,950, $2,750 or $5,000 a month, for 1, 2 or 4 sessions. Each session is 1 on 1 with James Killick and works on your own app.
Can a vibe-coded app be used by real customers?
Yes, once it is checked. Most AI-built apps need work on security, data and payments before they are safe to sell. If yours is already built and breaking, our rescue service finds and fixes the faults.
