AI agents don't run on vibes alone sticker

AI agents don’t run on vibes alone

Jason Masciarelli,

The story behind the sticker: “AI agents don’t run on vibes alone.”

 

Why the new wave of vibe coding breaks down—and what we built to replace it.

Everywhere you look right now, people are “vibe coding” AI agents.

A few prompts...some duct tape...an LLM that kind of does what you want…until it doesn’t.

But the second you plug agents into real customers, real data, or real workflows, things start breaking fast.

AI agents can’t run on vibes alone. They need a workflow engine.

 

Vibe coding was a fun start. Now it’s a dead end.

We all love vibe-coded prototypes—they’re fast, fun, and great for demos. But for real software teams shipping real products, vibe coding hits three walls:

  • It doesn’t scale
  • It isn’t reliable
  • It creates hidden technical debt

 

The new path: no-code vibe development

Launchpad's new model lets teams express intent and generate entire applications: UI, workflows, APIs, agentic orchestration—backed by enterprise-grade runtime, guardrails, and multi-tenancy.

 

This is vibe coding… evolved. For enterprise-grade AI-first software products. For real B2B customers.

Why AI agents need structure

LLMs are powerful but chaotic. They need predictable workflows, state, compliance, and observability.

Launchpad provides the structure agents need to operate safely and predictably.

 

Why it matters for SaaS teams

AI-native competitors are moving fast. Customers demand automation. Teams don’t have years to rebuild.

Launchpad helps teams ship outcomes—not technical debt.
