Vibe Coding Workflow: Ship Faster with This Product Requirement Document Workflow


Listen Later

Unlock the practical side of vibe coding and AI‑powered marketing automations with host Cody Schneider and guest CJ Zafir (CodeGuide.dev). If you’ve been flooded with posts about no‑code app builders but still wonder how people actually ship working products (and use them to drive revenue), this conversation is your blueprint.

CJ breaks down:

  • What “vibe coding” really means – from sophisticated AI‑assisted development in Cursor or Windsurf to chilled browser‑based tools like Replit, Bolt, V0, and Lovable.
  • How to think like an AI‑native builder – using ChatGPT voice, Grok, and Perplexity to research, brainstorm, and up‑level your technical vocabulary.
  • Writing a rock‑solid PRD that keeps LLMs from hallucinating and speeds up delivery.
  • The best tool stack for different stages – quick MVPs, polished UIs, full‑stack production apps, and self‑hosted automations with N8N.
  • Real‑world marketing automations – auto‑generating viral social content, indexing SEO pages, and replacing repetitive “social‑media‑manager” tasks.
  • Idea‑validation playbook – from domain search to Google Trends, plus why you should build the “obvious” products competitors already prove people pay for.

You’ll leave with concrete tactics for:

  1. Scoping and documenting an app idea in minutes.
  2. Choosing the right AI coding tool for your skill level.
  3. Automating content‑creation and distribution loops.
  4. Turning small internal scripts into sellable SaaS.
