Vibe Coded a dev tool for Vibe Coders!

by

Hey everyone,

I don't actually like using the term "vibe coding". We've been software developers for over a decade ,are not one-shotting features, and have a very opinionated and strict dev process.

That said, we did build Airbolt (https://www.producthunt.com/products/airbolt-3) with Claude Code and to address pains we acutely felt when "vibe coding" (or maybe AI application software engineering?) AI apps!

We'd really appreciate any feedback! Thanks :)

Really interesting approach! Love how you’re combining your experience with AI-assisted development to tackle real pain points. Excited to see how it evolves!

@ritik_ranjan thank you!

Are you competing with OpenRouter?

I have used OpenRouter in a couple of my projects I developed with v0 and Base44 (affiliate links).

@amitsarda We see ourselves as complementary tools. OpenRouter excels at multi-provider routing, while Airbolt focuses on making AI integration into your app dead simple. OpenRouter gives you APIs, we give you React components. Our customers ship in 2 minutes.

We remove LLM API secrets entirely from your development flow. Your API keys never touch your client, source code, OR your AI coding tools. With v0 or Cursor building your app using Airbolt, there's zero risk of secrets leaking into their context, since you're only using public project tokens (with security best practices).

Actually, adding OpenRouter as a provider option is near the top of our roadmap!

Vibe Coding grew up, and it’s now called “agentically assisted coding” :)

@jason_rivard I like that
