**Show HN: Vibe Coding Agent – Revolutionizing Internal Tools**

As we delve into the software landscape of major companies, it's fascinating to see how their tools and applications break down into three distinct categories. Let's take a closer look at that third bucket: Internal Tools. Historically, building these tools has relied on three layers: frontend, backend, and middleware.

However, there was always a catch – The UX Compromise. These low-code platforms allowed businesses to build apps 10x faster, but the resulting UIs looked "Enterprise-y" – functional, yet rigid. It was difficult to create a consumer-grade experience without compromising on design and functionality.

Enter Vibe Coding, which emerged in early 2025 with a promise to offer speed and freedom. Unlike traditional low-code tools that relied on drag-and-drop interfaces, Vibe Coding allowed users to "speak" their code into existence. This marked a significant shift towards General Purpose vibe coding Agents.

These agents catered to a wide audience, from hobbyists building games to engineers creating landing pages. However, they often missed the specific depth required for Internal Tools. Rory Wilding, COO of Supabase, highlighted this distinction: "The wave of 'hobby' projects they create are fast but lack the enterprise-grade structure that business applications demand."

Internal tool builders faced a unique challenge – navigating the varied user base, from hobbyists to founders shipping vertical SaaS products. Engineers building Internal Tools required strict RBAC, SSO, and secure data handling, which was not always possible with general-purpose agents.

**Learnings from Product Leaders who used Vibe Code Agents for Internal Tools**

One of my customers, a Product Leader in Ad-Tech, achieved remarkable success using Cursor to build a full-fledged V1 tool that generated AI videos. He completed the project in 15 days without writing a single line of code.

However, he soon encountered issues with the UX and security of his tool. Another customer used Replit to "vibe" a benefits portal, but due to scalability concerns, they had to start from scratch.

**The Low Code Response: AI-Native Tools**

The Low Code industry responded to these challenges by rebranding as "AI-Native" tools. These platforms aimed to provide users with the speed of AI generation while wrapping it in Enterprise features like RBAC and secure connectors.

However, this approach had limitations – it put AI on top of existing constraints and bloats, making it difficult to achieve true freedom in coding. The result was a faster way to configure widgets, but still trapped users in the "Enterprise-y" look and feel.

**The Pivot: Version 2 Machine**

This is where I pivot to a new machine – a completely new design that's more powerful. It marries True UI Flexibility with the power of our Enterprise-Focussed Low Code Stack.

  • Unconstrained UI (The Vibe): We let the AI write raw, beautiful React code for the interface, without widget constraints. If you can prompt it, you can render it.
  • Retain the Magic Connector Layer: Our "magic layer" effectively handles data interfaces for your frontend securely. No leaking credentials in your AI-generated React code.
  • Hybrid Logic (No-Code Blocks): We enable you to revert to logic blocks like Toasts, Confetti, JS, or simply calling a REST API without needing continuous prompts.
  • Fix the Broken Experience (Managed Runtime): We solved the "Git Pipeline" nightmare by stitching the runtime directly into the platform. No CLI commands or DevOps access needed.

**The Result: Building Internal Tools 50x Faster, Without Constraints**

You can build internal tools 50x faster without compromising on design and functionality. Our new machine marries the True UI Flexibility of Gen AI with the power of our Enterprise-Focussed Low Code Stack.
