AI‑Driven “Vibe Coding” Accelerates MVP Creation but Raises Scaling Concerns

Vibe Coding is an AI‑assisted approach that enables product managers and non‑technical founders to generate product ideas, user stories, PRDs and functional prototypes quickly, using structured prompts and AI tools.

While useful for rapid validation, the code produced often lacks architectural robustness. Analyses indicate that up to 70 % of such prototypes require a full rewrite to support load growth, proper API design and scalable databases. Examples include a writer who built a personal dashboard with AI tools, and a University of Cincinnati study noting that beginners can create apps without formal programming, highlighting both the potential and the limitations of the method.
