Vibe Coding For Beginners! What Is It? Build Anything with AI!

Key Concepts

• Vibe Coding: Letting AI autonomously code a project based on a general prompt or "vibe," minimizing micromanagement.
• App LLM: An AI-powered app developer from Abacus AI designed for non-coders to build applications and websites through Vibe coding.
• Code LLM: Another tool from Abacus AI, targeted towards coders, that uses AI agents to enhance the coding workflow, offering features like autocomplete, full-stack app generation, and debugging.
• Chat LLM: An AI assistant included in the Abacus AI subscription that provides access to top LLMs, web search, video, and image generation.
• Agentic Capabilities: The ability of AI tools to act autonomously and intelligently to achieve a given goal.

App LLM: Vibe Coding for Non-Coders

Introduction to Vibe Coding

The video introduces the concept of "Vibe coding," popularized by Andrej Karpathy, which involves using AI to autonomously code projects based on a general idea or "vibe." This approach minimizes the need for detailed instructions and micromanagement.

Introducing App LLM

App LLM is presented as a tool that enables Vibe coding for non-coders. It's an AI-powered app developer designed to allow anyone, regardless of coding experience, to build applications and websites.

Examples of App LLM in Action

The video showcases several examples of apps generated using App LLM from a single prompt:

• WordPress Landing Page: A modern, responsive landing page for WordPress was generated quickly, including images.
• Photo Editor: A functional photo editor was created from the prompt "photo editor." The initial version allowed for brightness, contrast, saturation, and blur adjustments, as well as image downloading.
• Iterative Improvement: The presenter then typed "add more features," and App LLM enhanced the photo editor with filters, text addition, and stickers.
• Financial Tracker App: A fully functional and responsive financial tracker app was generated with features like stock portfolio management, transaction tracking, and expense visualization.

Code LLM for Coders

The video briefly mentions Code LLM, another tool from Abacus AI, which is designed for coders. Code LLM enhances the coding workflow with agentic capabilities, autocomplete, full-stack app generation, and debugging. It's described as "autocomplete on steroids." The presenter refers to a previous video where they used Code LLM to build a full-stack application with an odd system and a financial management dashboard without writing code manually.

Subscription and Access

Both App LLM and Code LLM are available under the same Abacus AI subscription, which costs $10 per month. The subscription also includes access to Chat LLM, an AI assistant with access to top LLMs, web search, video, and image generation.

Getting Started with App LLM

Accessing App LLM

The video provides a step-by-step guide on how to get started with App LLM:

1. Click the link in the description to access the Abacus AI website.
2. Click "Get Started" and sign up.
3. Click the "Try Now" button to access the chatbot interface.

Building a Landing Page Example

The presenter demonstrates how to build a landing page for WordPress by entering the prompt "landing page for WordPress." The AI agent quickly starts generating the project, and the code generation is visualized live. The generated landing page is displayed in a preview tab.

Iterating and Customizing

The generated app can be further iterated upon. Users can preview the code, download the generated files, and share the app via a link. Custom domain support for hosting is planned for the future.

Photo Editor Demonstration

The presenter demonstrates the creation of a photo editor by simply typing "photo editor." The AI generates a functional photo editor with basic features. The presenter then types "add more features," and the AI enhances the photo editor with filters, text addition, and stickers.

Financial Tracker App Demonstration

The presenter demonstrates the creation of a financial tracker app with a single prompt. The generated app includes features like stock portfolio management, transaction tracking, and expense visualization. The app is responsive and can be previewed in different formats (mobile, tablet).

Additional Resources and Support

World of AI Newsletter

The presenter encourages viewers to subscribe to the "World of AI" newsletter for updates on the AI space.

Channel Support

Viewers can support the channel through the "Super Thanks" option or by joining the private Discord, which offers access to AI tools and exclusive content.

Conclusion

App LLM is presented as a game-changing tool for non-coders, enabling them to build applications and websites through Vibe coding. The tool's ability to generate functional apps from simple prompts and iteratively improve them makes it a powerful prototyping and development platform. The video emphasizes the accessibility and ease of use of App LLM, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in app development, regardless of their coding experience. The combination of App LLM for non-coders and Code LLM for coders, along with Chat LLM, provides a comprehensive AI-powered development suite.
