The Hype of AI-driven Vibe Coding: Is It Fading?
Recent research from Barclays reveals that the AI-fueled vibe coding boom may be hitting a slowdown. Here’s what you need to know:
- Traffic Decline: Top platforms like Lovable and Vercel’s v0 have seen significant drops in user engagement.
- Churn Concerns: Many startups boast high Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), but analysts warn that subscriber retention is questionable due to a high churn rate.
- Market Experimentation: Analysts note that while vibrational coding tools are appealing, they often stumble in polishing the final product, limiting broader adoption.
Legacy companies like Wix are eyeing this space, acknowledging that everyday users are still experimenting with AI interfaces. Though vibe coding might not dominate soon, it’s set to remain a key part of the AI landscape until 2026.
