What is vibe coding?
Vibe coding is building software by describing what you want to an AI assistant in natural language and iterating on the result, rather than writing the code yourself. The term was popularized by Andrej Karpathy in early 2025.
How it works in practice
You describe the app, the assistant (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others) writes the code, you react to what you see, and the loop repeats. The person steering may not read the code at all. This is how a growing share of internal tools, dashboards, and prototypes get built inside companies, by people who are not engineers.
The part nobody solved: what happens after
Vibe coding gets you a working app on your laptop. It does not get you hosting, a database, access control, or updates your teammates can receive. That last mile is exactly where vibe-coded apps die or become shadow AI. A deployment platform closes the gap: with White Ghost, the same assistant that built the app can publish it with one CLI, onto a URL with access rules you choose.
