A Block product designer spent 2 months vibe coding a dog ID app. Her top tip: Sometimes AI needs to be ‘babied.’
Meet Sarah, a talented product designer at Block, who recently embarked on a unique project – creating a dog ID app using a concept she calls ‘vibe coding.’
Sarah’s journey began when she noticed a gap in the market for a user-friendly app that could help dog owners keep track of their furry friends’ information in case they ever got lost. Instead of following the traditional coding process, Sarah decided to trust her instincts and let her creativity flow by vibe coding – a term she coined for coding based on intuition and feeling rather than strict guidelines.
Embracing AI with a Human Touch
Throughout the development process, Sarah found herself relying on AI technology to enhance the app’s functionality. However, she quickly realized that sometimes, AI needs to be ‘babied’ in order to achieve the desired results. By providing gentle guidance and oversight, Sarah was able to fine-tune the app’s AI features to better serve its users.
Lessons Learned and Top Tips
After two months of dedicated work, Sarah successfully launched the dog ID app to rave reviews from both users and industry experts. Reflecting on her experience, Sarah shared her top tip for working with AI: “Sometimes, you need to treat AI like a child – nurture it, guide it, and be patient with its learning process. In the end, the extra care and attention will pay off in the form of a more intelligent and user-friendly product.”
Final Thoughts
Sarah’s innovative approach to app development serves as a reminder that technology, while powerful, still benefits from a human touch. By blending intuition with AI capabilities, designers like Sarah can create truly unique and impactful products that resonate with users on a deeper level.
