Vibe Coding Masterclass: an overview of how Vibe changes the way you work!
Cursor AI hit $100 million in revenue in one year. Lovable AI did it in eight months. Reaching $100M is what makes a startup a unicorn: and that typically takes eight years. Something is different this time.

That something is vibe coding: the ability to describe software in plain language and have AI build it for you. No programming degree or development team needed.
At Workiflow's Vibe Coding Masterclass, CEO Danny Esquivel and AI educator Otakar Hyps from We Are Animals AI walked a live audience through exactly what vibe coding is, what it means for businesses right now, and how monday.com is building it directly into its platform. Here's what you need to know.
What is vibe coding?
Vibe coding is the practice of using natural language prompts to instruct AI to generate functional code without writing a single line yourself. You describe the problem. The AI builds the solution.
The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI: "There's a new kind of coding I call vibe coding, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists."
In practice, vibe coding tools like Cursor AI, Lovable, and monday Vibe let anyone prototype, build, and iterate on software by simply explaining what they need and why.
Why vibe coding is growing this fast
The adoption numbers are not a fluke. Vibe coding is growing because it works:
These are not vanity metrics. They signal that AI-generated code is functional and valuable enough that businesses are paying for it at scale.
What vibe coding means for your business
1. Your time-to-market compresses dramatically
Scott Stevenson, founder of Spellbook, built his MVP in two weeks using vibe coding. The traditional fastest timeline for a comparable build: three months. Idea-to-feedback used to take a quarter. It can now take days.
2. Your team's output multiplies
Workiflow used to target one new tool or app per year. With vibe coding integrated into their development workflow, they're planning three to ten. Same team. Faster iteration. Higher output.
3. Your competitive moat shifts
The technical barrier to building software is dropping. Competitors you've never heard of can now replicate what you do faster than before. The teams that respond by building faster and iterating smarter are the ones that pull ahead.
The real limitations (and how to work around them)
Vibe coding is not magic. Four friction points come up consistently among non-technical builders:
1. Connecting to external databases and services
Most vibe coded apps don't live in isolation. You'll need to connect to databases, authentication systems, payment processors, and APIs. The workaround: ask your AI tool directly. "I'm vibe coding and I need to connect to a database. What should I do?" It will guide you.
2. Context drift
Ask for one change, and the AI quietly breaks five things elsewhere. Otakar Hyps compares it to the Tasmanian Devil: it gets from A to B, but destroys things along the way. The fix: stay surgical. One specific change at a time. The more precise your prompt, the less drift.
3. Security vulnerabilities
45% of AI-generated code contains security vulnerabilities. The AI will not warn you — it will confidently present flawed code as complete and correct. For internal tools, the risk is manageable. For public-facing applications, bring in a developer to audit before launch.
4. Connecting to payment systems and third-party integrations
APIs and external services require some configuration. Generative AI tools can walk you through each step. You don't need to understand the underlying code; you need to know what you're trying to connect and why.
How monday.com is leading the charge
Monday.com has embedded vibe coding directly into its platform through two features: monday Magic and monday Vibe. Both are currently free.
Monday Magic: build from nothing
Monday Magic lets you create entire boards, workflows, and automations from a single prompt. Describe your process and monday Magic builds the structure. For Workiflow, this changed how they provision client solutions. A board-building session that used to take one to three hours now takes five to ten minutes. The longest part is waiting for the AI to generate.
Monday Vibe: build on top of what you have
Monday Vibe goes further. It lets you write code directly on top of your monday.com instance, extending it with entirely new views, interactions, and data visualizations: all while staying inside monday's enterprise infrastructure. That last point matters. When you vibe code inside monday.com, you're building on top of SOC 2, ISO, and GDPR-compliant infrastructure. Your data stays inside the closed ecosystem. Audit trails, user-level permissions, and change management are already built in. You get the flexibility of vibe coding without the security exposure of a standalone app.
A real-world build: Workiflow's org chart
To demonstrate what's possible, Workiflow built a full org chart inside monday.com using monday Vibe. The final product includes:
- Tree-branching role hierarchy with expandable nodes
- Multiple roles per team member (critical for cross-functional teams)
- A global team map showing locations across time zones
- A time zone synchronizer that feeds back into their calendar
- A birthday calendar view for the full team
Workiflow's estimate for building this the traditional way: 200 hours minimum, with a product manager, UI/UX designer, front-end developer, back-end developer, hosting setup, and data synchronization across applications. Timeline: six to nine months.
Actual build time: one all-nighter. Workiflow co-founder Kenan did it solo.
How to start vibe coding: a practical framework
Step 1: Find a real problem first
Start with the thorn on your side: the process that's slow, the report you build manually every week, the thing that wastes hours. Solve that before you think bigger.
Step 2: Write a strong first prompt
A vague prompt produces a vague result. Spend up to 30 minutes crafting your first prompt before you open any vibe coding tool. Structure it around four elements:
What it is:
the name and purpose of what you're building
What it does:
the core function
How it works:
the logic, rules, and behavior
How it feels:
the UI expectations and user experience
The more specific your foundation, the more stable everything built on top of it will be.
Step 3: Make one change at a time
Once you're iterating, describe each change precisely and in isolation. Instead of "this text looks wrong," write: "The text on the card detail view is white on a white background. The user cannot read it. Please make it black."
Step 4: Get comfortable with the dev console
Press F12 in your browser. Copy the error logs. Paste them into your AI tool and ask what's wrong. You don't need to understand the code, you just need to relay the error. That context dramatically improves the AI's ability to debug accurately.
Step 5: Use libraries and API docs
Ask your vibe coding tool to list all libraries it has access to. Libraries are pre-built functions. Google Maps is a library. You can pull it into your monday Vibe build and create a mapping feature without writing a line of map logic. When you need specific data from monday.com, go to the monday API docs and find the exact query you need. Copy that structure into your prompt. The AI builds more accurately when you give it a precise data structure to work with.
Frequently asked questions about vibe coding
Vibe coding is using AI to generate functional software from natural language descriptions. You describe what you want to build; the AI writes the code and executes it.
No. Between 60 and 70% of successful vibe coders have no programming background. The skill required is the ability to describe a problem clearly and specifically.
45% of AI-generated code contains security vulnerabilities. For internal tools, the risk is manageable. For public-facing applications, a code audit from a developer is recommended before release.
Monday Magic is a feature inside monday.com that builds boards, workflows, and automations from a single natural language prompt. It is currently free.
Monday Vibe lets users write code directly on top of their monday.com instance to create custom views, visualizations, and features, all within monday's enterprise-grade security infrastructure. It is currently free.
Vibe coding is fully AI-generated: you write no code at all. AI-assisted coding uses AI as a co-pilot while a developer still writes and reviews the underlying code. Vibe coding is the starting point; AI-assisted coding is the next stage for taking a prototype into production.
Simple tools can be prototyped in hours. More complex solutions (like a full org chart with global maps and time zone logic) can take one to a few days, depending on how clearly the problem is defined and how iteratively the builder works.
Cursor AI, Lovable, and Bolt are standalone vibe coding platforms. Monday.com supports vibe coding natively through monday Magic and monday Vibe, with the added benefit of enterprise-grade security and data contained within your existing monday.com instance.
The bottom line
Vibe coding does not require you to become a developer. It requires you to become better at describing problems.
The businesses that move first are the ones that compound those advantages into something competitors can't easily replicate.
Monday AI and monday Magic are free. There is no barrier to starting today.
