AI Helped Design the Product, Too

It’s hard to understate how exciting this exercise was for the Schedulete team. We had wanted to build the Athletic Operations dashboard for over a year, but without funding or forward design progress, we were stuck. In one afternoon, we had a version of the platform we really liked that we could now pass on to our existing development team to refine. Vibe coding had done what we expected – helped us write code that previously was not accessible to us.

But here’s the unexpected part.

The AI didn’t just help us build. It also helped us design. All of a sudden, we had a UI/UX expert who could act as a thought partner and help us work through thorny usability problems that we had been stuck on for weeks.

“I wasn’t sure whether to combine recruiting and games in one view. So I asked Bolt. It gave me three approaches and a recommendation. I chose the second and it built the perfect solution.”

That’s not a UI edit. That’s a product decision—co-designed with AI.

It’s like having a PM, a designer, and a front-end dev all in one prompt window.

The Stack (So Far)

Tool Best For What Broke

Lovable Screenshot → Prototype Changes caused breakage

Bolt Prompt → Dashboard File size limits

Windsurf Codebase editing + scale Needs engineering knowledge

The New Skillset

In just a few days, a nontechnical founder built a working version of a multi-page SaaS platform that looks ready to ship.

All from prompts.

That’s what vibe coding unlocks.

You don’t need to be a developer. You need taste, intuition, and a willingness to iterate. If you have that, you can build.

Let’s build the future—with good vibes only.
