8 Incredible Apps You Can Build with Vibe-Coding and AI

I get asked all the time, “What can you actually build with vibe-coding?” Here’s my no-fluff list—once you see the possibilities, your only limit is your next idea:

  • Micro-SaaS products that solve a single, painful problem
  • Lead magnets that grow your email list on autopilot
  • One-page tools people bookmark and swear by
  • Directories packed with laser-targeted niche data
  • Free tools that go viral through word-of-mouth
  • Landing pages built to convert every last visitor
  • Dashboards that turn raw numbers into “aha” moments
  • Programmatic SEO sites spawning thousands of keyword-perfect pages

And that’s just scratching the surface.


My 2025 Goal: A Portfolio of Tools

This year, I’m on a mission to assemble my own toolbox empire—a mix of:

  1. Micro-SaaS I can demo in under five minutes (Check DirectoryIdeas.ai)
  2. High-value lead magnets that pull subscribers like magnets
  3. Directories that become go-to resources in their niches
  4. One-pager utilities for quick wins
  5. High-converting landing pages that practically sell themselves

Why?

Because each tool is both a learning opportunity and a revenue stream. And together, they form a resilient, diversified business.


My Three Power Tools

I couldn’t do this at warp speed without:

  1. Lovable – the fastest way to whip up polished, accessible UI components with zero design headaches.
  2. Cursor AI – the secret weapon for live code refactoring, layout toggles, and incredibly rapid iteration.

Lovable giving me drop-dead gorgeous components, and Cursor letting me switch between seven layout variations in a click, I’m shipping MVPs before most people finish their morning coffee.


How to Get Started This Week

  1. Pick one item from the eight-item list above—say, a simple directory or a lead magnet.
  2. Fire up Lovable to build front end
  3. Spin up a UI in Lovable—no CSS wrestling required.
  4. Use Cursor AI to test three or four layout ideas in one go and integrate backend with Supabase.
  5. Ship it—share the link in your newsletter, tweet about it, or drop it in a Slack group.

You’ll be amazed how fast you can go from zero to a live, working tool.


Final Thought

Vibe-coding isn’t just about writing code; it’s about rapidly building a future—one tool at a time. With a portfolio spanning Micro-SaaS, lead magnets, directories, and more, you’re not dependent on any single product.

You’re a builder in an AI-driven world—and your ability to learn and ship is your ultimate moat.

So grab Lovable, and Cursor, pick your first idea, and let’s see what you build this week.
