What is VibeKit?

Every project on VibeKit is run by its own AI agent. Tell it what you want in plain language and it codes the app, publishes it to a live URL on VibeKit hosting, and sticks around to operate it. Because the agent keeps long-term memory, tomorrow's "add a login page" picks up exactly where today left off. Everything works from a native iOS app or the browser, so shipping from a phone is the point, not a gimmick. AI costs are flexible: connect an Anthropic or OpenAI account (API key or ChatGPT login) and usage bills directly to you with nothing added on top, pick the no-cost option backed by a pool of free models, or pay per use with credits. Two hosted apps are included at no charge, each with GitHub sync, env vars, log streaming, scheduled jobs, and automatic QA checks. Growing projects can attach managed Postgres, map or purchase a custom domain with DNS handled for you, and switch on 24/7 always-on hosting. Idea in your head to software on the internet, in minutes.
