From idea to live URL in 60 seconds: the Vibely workflow

A walkthrough of the full Vibely loop — prompt, plan, preview, deploy — and the small habits that make it feel instant.

By The Vibely Team · March 20, 2026

Most "AI builds an app" demos cheat: pre-baked prompts, hand-tuned models, edited videos. This walkthrough is the actual flow we use every day. The whole loop — from typing the first word to a public URL — takes about a minute on a small project.

Step 1 — Describe what you want

Open Vibely, pick Web app, and describe the product. Be specific about data, not visuals: "a habit tracker with users, habits, and daily check-ins" beats "a beautiful habit app."

Step 2 — Watch the preview start before the code does

Vibely starts your dev server in parallel with the agent's first turn. By the time the agent writes its first file, your preview URL is already live and reloading on every edit.

Step 3 — Steer with small turns

Once the first version is up, make small requests: "add a delete button to each habit," "use today's date as the default for check-ins," "make the empty state friendlier." Each turn is a clean diff you can read in seconds.

Step 4 — Plug in real data

Connect Supabase from the connectors page. Vibely will introspect your tables, write the queries, and wire up auth. If you do not have a database yet, ask the agent to set one up — it will use Supabase by default.

Step 5 — Ship

One click puts your project on a real domain. From here you can keep iterating; every turn redeploys automatically.

Habits that make it feel instant

  • Open the preview on a second monitor. Watching it update is the feedback loop.
  • Use plan mode for risky changes. Migrations, auth, deletes.
  • Stop when it works. Do not let the agent over-engineer something that is already shipping.
