Sometimes the best lessons about AI and creativity don’t come from a boardroom, they come from play. At a recent event called The Vibe Games, I jumped on stage to “vibe code” live in front of a room full of product leaders. The twist? I had to build personas and tell stories… with dad jokes. What happened surprised me and taught me something powerful about creativity in business.
Key Takeaways
1. Play is a Learning Engine
We don’t learn by waiting for the “perfect” budget or timeline. Tools like GPTs and no-code builders let us test, tweak, and create on the fly. That kind of experimentation feels like play but it’s also how breakthroughs happen.
2. Personas Unlock Perspective
Prompting isn’t just technical; it’s about perspective. Using personas helped me (and the audience) see problems through different lenses, a skill every startup team needs when building for real users.
3. Community Fuels Creativity
The best part wasn’t the dancing gopher (yes, there was one), it was the energy of the community. Events like these remind me that AI isn’t just about tools; it’s about people supporting, challenging, and inspiring each other.
I vibe code to show that these tools aren’t reserved for engineers or prompt whisperers. They’re for anyone with an idea. When we treat AI as a partner in play, we move faster from “what if” to “look what we just built.”
