Tips for Creating Great Vibes

Get the most out of the Vibe Builder

Last updated: March 2026

Writing effective prompts

The quality of your vibe depends heavily on how you describe it. Here's what makes a good prompt:

Be specific about your data model

Don't just say "a task manager." Describe the fields, relationships, and behaviors:

Create a task manager with projects and tasks. Each project
has a name, description, and color. Each task has a title,
description, due date, priority (low/medium/high), and status
(todo/in-progress/done). Tasks belong to a project. I want to
filter tasks by status and sort by due date.

Mention the AI tools you want

If you know how you'll use the vibe with an AI assistant, say so:

I want to be able to use AI to:
- Create and list tasks
- Move tasks between statuses
- Search tasks by keyword
- Get a summary of overdue tasks

Describe the UI layout

Give the Vibe Builder a sense of how you want things organized:

The homepage should show a sidebar with projects and a main
area with the selected project's tasks in a kanban board
layout (columns for todo, in-progress, done).

Start from a template

The Vibe Builder offers templates that give you a head start. Each one comes pre-configured with a sensible data model and features:

  • CRM — Manage leads, clients, and deals with notes and follow-ups
  • Booking — Appointment slots, availability calendar, and reservations
  • Planner — Shared milestones, tasks, and deliverables
  • Knowledge Tracker — Capture notes with tags, search, and share via MCP
  • Inventory Tracker — Track equipment, stock, or assets

Templates are a great starting point even if your final app looks different. Start with the closest match and customize from there.

Choosing the right vibe type

The Vibe Builder will pick the right type based on your description, but it helps to know what's available:

  • Static HTML — One-page tools, calculators, landing pages. No storage or backend needed.
  • Vue + Vite — Multi-page apps with components but no persistent data (or data stored in the browser).
  • Full-stack — Anything with stored data, user interactions, or AI-callable tools. This is the most common type.

When in doubt, go full-stack. The Vibe Builder handles the complexity. Even if your app seems simple, having a backend and MCP tools gives you more flexibility to iterate later.

Iterating on your vibe

Your first version doesn't have to be perfect. The Vibe Builder supports iteration:

  • Re-prompt — Describe what you want changed. "Add a search bar to the homepage" or "Change the color scheme to blue."
  • Be specific about changes — Instead of "make it better," say "the task cards should show the due date and a colored priority indicator."
  • One change at a time — Smaller, focused prompts tend to produce better results than asking for many changes at once.

Common pitfalls

Vague prompts

"Make me a cool app" gives the Vibe Builder nothing to work with. Be specific about what the app does, what data it manages, and how the UI should look.

Forgetting to publish

After the Vibe Builder finishes, your vibe is in preview mode. Publish it from the Vibe Builder to make it live at your production URL.

Oversized assets

Keep images and media reasonable in size. Large assets slow down builds and page loads. If your vibe needs to handle user-uploaded files, use file storage (Pro) instead of embedding them in the frontend.

Inspiration

Not sure what to build? Start from one of the Vibe Builder's templates and customize it. Some popular use cases:

  • Bookmark managers and reading lists
  • Personal CRMs and contact trackers
  • Recipe collections and meal planners
  • Project boards and task managers
  • Blog platforms and note-taking apps
  • Inventory trackers and habit logs

The best vibes solve a specific problem you actually have. Start there.
