Vibe coding, a term coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy in 2025, means building software by telling AI what you want and refining it through conversation. For no-code builders, that's a big shift. Instead of assembling your app one block at a time, you can start with a description and let AI generate the screens, design, and logic for you. That means faster iteration and a lower barrier to getting your idea in front of real users. You're still in charge, though. You decide what your app should do, whether it truly serves your users, and whether it works on a real device before you ship it. With Thunkable's AI Builder, you can vibe code a native mobile app from the start. You can refine it with prompts, blocks, or code, test it on your phone, and publish it to the App Store or Google Play.
