Vibe-code
The 2026 way to build software
Forget no-code vs. code. Vibe-coding is the third way: describe what you want, watch AI build it, refine through conversation. Real software. Real code. No learning curve. The future of building is talking.
The Challenge
- No-code tools hit walls when you need real customization
- Traditional coding is slow and requires specialists
- AI code generators produce disconnected prototypes you can't use
- You know what you want but can't express it in code
- Building software shouldn't require a CS degree or a visual programming course
The Runwork Solution
- Vibe-code: describe outcomes, not implementations
- AI that understands business context, not just syntax
- Real code generated that you own, can read, and can customize
- Iterative refinement through natural conversation
- From idea to production in one session, not one quarter

Key Features for This Use Case
A Day in the Life
9:00 AM — The problem. Your sales team needs a better way to track deal progress. They've been using spreadsheets, and it's chaos. In the old world, this goes to engineering, gets prioritized (eventually), and ships in 3 months. You have a meeting in an hour.
9:15 AM — The conversation. You open the Work Assistant. "I need a sales pipeline dashboard. Show me deals by stage, highlight stalled ones, let reps update status." You're not writing code. You're not dragging boxes. You're talking about what you need.
9:30 AM — The iteration. Runwork shows you a working dashboard. "Add a column for next action date. Color-code deals that haven't been updated in a week." It updates. "Actually, make the stale threshold configurable." Done. You're building software through conversation.
9:45 AM — The refinement. "Connect this to our CRM so it pulls deal data automatically." The integration configures itself. "Add a workflow that alerts reps when their deals go stale." Built. "Let me preview this as a sales rep would see it." You're testing, not just imagining.
10:00 AM — The meeting. You walk in with a working pipeline dashboard. Not a mockup. Not a requirements doc. A real application your team starts using today. Vibe-coding: from problem to production in 45 minutes.
