Vibe Coding: The Future of AI-Accelerated App Development (With a Little Help From Figma & Buzzy)

Writer: Adam GinsburgAdam Ginsburg

or is it Vibe Designing, Vibe Prototyping, Vibe Building or maybe just Vibing???




Introduction: The AI Takeover (In a Good Way)

Once upon a time, building an app required knowing code—those cryptic lines that made sense only to the chosen few (aka developers). But then along came AI, no-code platforms, and a whole lot of innovation, flipping the script on app creation.


Now, we’re in the era of Vibe Coding—where instead of manually writing code, you just tell AI what you want, define the experience, and let the magic happen. It’s app-building without the headaches.


And if you’re a designer who lives and breathes Figma, things just got even better. AI-powered tools (like Buzzy 😉) are transforming your designs into fully functional web and mobile apps—without leaving Figma.


So, what is Vibe Coding? Why should you care? And how does Figma + AI + No-Code = a revolution in app development? Buckle up.



What Is Vibe Coding? (And Why It’s Not Just Marketing Buzz)


BTW, we've been at this a while we released this teaser video pre v1 Buzzy AI Pro back in 2023





The term "Vibe Coding" was coined by Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI and former director of AI at Tesla, in February 2025. Karpathy described this approach as immersing oneself in AI's capabilities, allowing the technology to handle the intricate details of coding.


He illustrated this by interacting with AI tools using voice recognition, making casual requests like adjusting a sidebar’s padding and relying on the AI to implement these changes. When errors occurred, he would simply feed them back into the system for correction, emphasizing a more intuitive and less hands-on coding experience.


Karpathy summed it up as:

"It's not really coding—I just see things, say things, run things, and copy-paste things, and it mostly works."  ref


This shift to intent-driven development is huge. It means software creation is no longer about meticulously crafting code—it’s about shaping user experiences, workflows, and business logic, with AI filling in the gaps.


And this is where Buzzy + Figma + No-Code beats pure AI code generators.


Why No-Code Vibe Coding (Like Buzzy) Beats Pure AI Code Generators


Let’s address the elephant in the room: AI code generators, like OpenAI’s Code Interpreter or Copilot, are impressive but incomplete. They can churn out code snippets, but they don’t give you a fully functional, running application that works across web and mobileBuzzy does.


Why is this game-changing?


1️⃣ Start with a Prompt, Get a Full App—Deployed & Running

Unlike AI code generators that give you pieces of code, Buzzy lets you start with a simple text prompt and generates a fully deployed, working application for web & mobile.


  • No need to stitch together different AI-generated snippets.

  • No need to worry about where the frontend stops and the backend starts.

  • No need to debug AI hallucinations in the code.


And once the app is generated, you can keep iterating with AI-generated modifications—whether it’s UI design tweaks, logic changes, or adding new features.


2️⃣ Enhance with Figma—Fast AI-Powered Design Iterations


AI-generated code might give you a UI, but will it be on-brand, pixel-perfect, and user-friendly? Probably not.


  • With Buzzy, you can enhance AI-generated designs directly in Figma.

  • Pair it with Figma First Draft (AI-powered design generation) or third-party tools like Galileo AI to create stunning designs in seconds.

  • Then hit “Update” in the Buzzy Figma Plugin, and BOOM—your app is instantly refreshed with the new design.


No messy exports. No dev handoffs. Just instant updates across web & mobile.


3️⃣ Stay in Figma—Collaborate Like a Pro


Pure AI code generators give you… well, code. But how do you collaborate with product managers, designers, and devs without everyone having to sift through raw React, Vue, or Python?


Figma is already the powerhouse collaboration tool for teams. Buzzy keeps everything inside

Figma, so:


  • Business, product, design, and dev teams all work from the same source of truth.

  • Changes happen live—no more exporting/importing code and praying it doesn’t break.

  • Need an update? Just click “Update” in Buzzy, and see the new version live instantly.


The result? Way faster iteration cycles.


4️⃣ Extend With Code When Needed—Vibe Code or Hand Code


This is where No-Code + AI becomes a game changer. Unlike pure AI-generated code that locks you into its logic, Buzzy is fully extensible:

  • AI CodeWidgets: Buzzy’s AI can generate extendable logic (think: AI-powered custom functions, automations, etc.).

  • Hand Code: If you need full control, you can still drop in handwritten JavaScript or connect to any API.

  • APIs & Backend Connectivity: Connect with third-party services to handle complex workflows.


So instead of being stuck with hard-to-maintain AI-generated code, you get flexibility + speed.


The Hidden Superpower: No-Code That’s Maintainable


The biggest trap with AI-generated code isn’t just how fast it creates code—it’s what happens next.


AI-generated code is useless if:


❌ It’s a black box  or thousands of lines of code that no one understands and often not best practice code that's performant.

❌ It’s not maintainable, meaning future updates require a dev team rewrite.

❌ It gets stuck in a “dead-end” where adding new features means starting over.


No-Code + AI (Buzzy) fixes this by:


Taking code off the table while you move at lightning speed.

Keeping everything editable in Figma, so business, product, and design teams stay aligned.

Allowing extensibility (so when you need custom functionality, it’s easy to add).

The real game-changer isn’t just AI generating apps fast—it’s having a system that’s understandable, extendable, and maintainable for the long run.



Buzzy: AI-Powered No-Code, The Right Way


If you’re looking for a true AI-powered No-Code solution, Buzzy isn’t just another AI code generator—it’s the fastest way to build, iterate, and launch web & mobile apps directly from Figma.


  • Start with a prompt, get a full app (live, running, and deployed).

  • Enhance your app with AI-powered Figma designs.

  • Stay inside Figma for rapid collaboration & iteration.

  • Extend with AI-generated logic or custom code as needed.

  • Launch and maintain your app with ease (no unmanageable AI-generated code dumps).



Final Thoughts: The Future of AI-Accelerated Development


The convergence of AI, no-code platforms, and collaborative design tools like Figma is democratizing software development, enabling a broader range of individuals to transform ideas into functional applications. This shift not only accelerates the development process but also fosters innovation across various industries.​


As AI continues to evolve, we can anticipate more sophisticated tools that further simplify development, making it accessible to even those without technical backgrounds. However, it's essential to approach this evolution thoughtfully, ensuring that while we embrace automation and efficiency, we also maintain the human-centric elements that drive creativity and user empathy.​

In this rapidly changing landscape, platforms like Buzzy exemplify the potential of combining AI with no-code solutions, offering a glimpse into a future where technology serves as an enabler for creativity and problem-solving. Embracing these advancements will undoubtedly lead to more innovative, user-friendly, and efficient applications that cater to the diverse needs of users worldwide.
