🔮 your predictions for vibecoding tools/changes in 2026!?

Let's play a bit of Nostradamus! What are your thoughts on 2026 changes in vibecoding tools capabilities, market dominance etc?
Here is mine:
From prompt app to ideate define plan build.
The winners won t start with a random prompt. They ll start with structure: clarity, scope, flows, acceptance criteria then build.
A whole services ecosystem will form around vibecoding.
Two obvious categories:
= Make it release-ready (engineers finishing the last 20%: architecture, edge cases, compliance etc)
= GTM for the masses (hundreds of thousands of apps shipped and most builders won t know what to do next)
Also: hackathons + internal workshops inside enterprises will become the new sexy way to learn AI. The best vibecoding companies will run these as growth loops.
Enterprise will enter heavily the chat.
Big players will optimize for ENT prototyping + internal tooling, where budgets exist and good enough fast is a real superpower.
Pricing will drop (or evolve).
A real reason people leave vibecoding tools for Cursor is simple: cost (even 20/month is a friction point at scale). Expect pricing to shift in favor of users and monetization to get more creative.
Influencer-educators will become distribution.
The value of an army of consultants/influencers who teach AI via workshops will compound. A strong professional ecosystem can 100 your reach.
Micro-SaaS stories will explode.
We ll hear hundreds of mom & pop businesses doing $1 5k/month not unicorns, but real freedom businesses from non-tech people.
Mobile becomes a priority for almost everyone.
The next wave won t stop at web prototypes. People will want real mobile products.
Niche wins again.
As broad tools saturate, builders will go specialized: video-only landing pages with AI type products or what I m personally obsessed with: native iOS apps and building modaal.dev
Meanwhile, AI companies will keep shifting upmarket to bigger deals and stickier customers.
Curious what you re seeing what would you add / disagree with?

curious to hear from other parents!

Hi guys, we build Memelon fully on Lovable. I am very curious if there is any #parents here to share what you build in no-code tools?
Cheers, Elena
