I used to make Word documents. Now I make apps even for the silliest things

In Xataka, our colleagues were organizing some procedures. Some that, until now, we were doing in the cheesiest way possible: through bullets in Slack. Until my colleague, Javier Pastor, decided to create an application with Claude Code and glm-47.

It reminded me a lot of my case. For a couple of months now, with Claude fever, I have gone from creating Word documents, Excel lists or even notes, to creating applications for everything.

The era of vibe coding. We are facing a completely different era. one in which we don’t need to know about programming to create simple solutions that make our lives easier. This type of apps, Claude’s artifacts or websites have nothing to do with what a developer could do manually, but they are a fantastic solution for executing tasks that, until just a few months ago, were quite tedious.

You don’t even need a complex prompt: just tell us what you want in natural language, and the apps will take care of it.

Claude and Antigravity. In my particular case, I have been obsessed with what Claude calls artifacts for a few weeks now. It is editable and executable content locally (although it can also be uploaded to the web), super simple interfaces that are created in just over five minutes.

Recently, I was asked to correct a 21-item clinical test with reverse scores where it was especially relevant to know the score on each item, and to scale according to the score in which state the interviewee was. It seemed completely anachronistic to me to do this process by hand, so I got to work.

Be clear about where there is failure and where there is not.. I still don’t trust AI because of its ability to hallucinationbut there are aspects where it is practically impossible for it to fail. One of them is simple mathematical calculations: test corrections, random numerical generation apps, automated records… The possibilities for creating tools in which it is practically impossible for AI to fail are countless.

This is just a simple example of a questionnaire with automated correction and interpretation (there are dozens of websites trying to achieve the same thing with much less elaborate interfaces). But I have used it to create my own social media analysis systems, automated calendar management with Google Drive and Sheets, etc.

There is no turning back. The results of apps made using vibe coding are fascinating. From Open Source platforms to set up a homemade Google Photos to obsessions such as being informed about the harshest news through interactive websites vibecodeadas.

They are relatively easy to create (they usually take no more than 20 minutes), open the door to a world of possibilities and, for the most nerd (and denied in programming, as a server), they are the new toy in the age of AI.

In Xataka | Vibe coding wants to help Open Source. But developers don’t want AI botches
