Vibe Coder — Talk with AI to build products—in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm thrilled to share Vibe Coder with you today. This is very much an experiment—a first draft of what we believe could be a transformative approach to coding.

For the last two years I have been loving this workflow:
- have an idea
- go to chatgpt or claude
- ask the AI to help you scope out a project
- tell it the way you want it to be built
- then just “be the product manager”
- tell it to generate code
- then blindly copy paste code
- and copy paste errors
- do this over and over
- until you have working code or an app (usually a dozen or so iterations)

This is so powerful. And it has gotten even better with the increasing capabilities of models and development environments. I am so psyched to see what the Deepgram team has produced and I am so happy to finally be able to smoothly vibe code by just using my voice. Now the sessions are far more detailed and happen faster and have a better outcome.

We built this because we've been fascinated by the potential of combining voice input with AI-powered IDEs. What happens when you can just talk through your coding process instead of constantly context-switching between thinking and typing?

The extension has two main modes:

- Vibe Mode: Have conversations with an AI assistant about your code, brainstorm ideas, and explore solutions

- Code Mode: Dictate code with customizable AI rewrites that polish your spoken thoughts into proper syntax

We've been using this internally at Deepgram for months to build real projects (including Vibe Coder itself!), and we're seeing promising results in productivity and creative problem-solving.

This is just the beginning—we're releasing it as open source because we want to see where the community takes it. Try it out, break it, improve it, and let us know what you think!

I'll be hanging around in the comments to answer questions and hear your thoughts! 🎙️💻

As someone who couldn't code a year ago, and still can't without AI, discovering AI-powered editors like Cursor and Windsurf was genuinely life-changing (major shout-out to them!). Suddenly, I could actually build things the things I dreamed up, instead of bugging my engineer friends with crazy ideas. What if you could just build things?

As I got into it, though, I found myself constantly switching between talking through ideas with my friends and typing them out. The context-switching was jarring, and it felt like a missed opportunity. Coding is fundamentally creative and conversational – why couldn't I just talk with my AI partner? So we vibe-coded Vibe Coder.

Like Scott said, this is just our first iteration – a glimpse of what's possible when voice meets AI coding. There's lots of room to build this together, so I wanted to let you know what I'll be working on:

• API key proxy so you don't need to supply your own keys (top priority!)

• Enhanced settings for deeper customization

• Project context awareness for the agent

• VS Code command integration

• Cleaning up the code

There are more ideas for enhancements in the README on Github.

Have ideas or want to contribute? I'd love to hear your thoughts! This is just the beginning of making coding more natural, accessible, and, well... vibey. 🎵

You’ve done a great job identifying and solving a problem that so many people face! This was truly needed. Your journey is inspiring—congratulations on the launch!

Congratulations of the launch team! This looks so awesome, would be cool seeing how it integrates with my current workflow. Also, love the team behind Deepgram, I've found the documentation very straight forward for devs to get started :)

This is such an exciting concept! 🚀 The idea of 'vibe coding'—guiding AI with voice to build projects—feels like the next evolution of development workflows.
