I didn't start VibeLive because I wanted another startup. I started it because I'm tired of watching creative people — including myself — hit invisible ceilings.
Years ago, I built ChattingCat for non-native English speakers. It came from a feeling I knew too well: having big ideas, but lacking the language to express them. When my English improved, it didn't just help me communicate — it made me feel bigger. It felt like my life finally had more space.
But I eventually hit another ceiling.
I'm not an engineer. For a long time, that meant every product idea had to wait for someone else to build it. I had the energy, the creativity, and the obsession — but I couldn't ship on my own. That kind of dependency makes you second-guess yourself. You start shrinking your ideas before anyone else even sees them.
Then I found vibecoding: using AI to build software by describing what you want and iterating fast. I didn't become a “technical person” overnight, but something fundamental changed. I could finally move. Prototype. Test. Ship. Learn. All on my own timeline.
But once I started building, I hit the next ceiling.
So many vibecoded apps are smart… but they're lonely. They're missing the thing that makes a product feel alive: real humans connecting in real time. Video, presence, conversation — the shared moments that actually matter.
And there's a reason almost nobody adds that. Real-time video is still a massive engineering hurdle — the “final boss” for most vibecoders. You can ship an entire product fast, then lose weeks to video infrastructure alone.
That's the ceiling we're building VibeLive to remove.
VibeLive is real-time video infrastructure designed specifically for vibecoders. Instead of wiring up the hard parts yourself, you give your AI editor one prompt and a small guide file — and it adds live video, presence, and real human connection to the app you're already building. No WebRTC, no setup.
VibeLive is in beta now, and you don't have to wait for an invite. Grab your build prompt, paste it into your AI editor, and you can have live video running in your app today. If you're building something with AI and you want real human connection inside it, try it here: vibelive.site.
Vibecoding isn't just about building apps. It's about not having to feel small anymore.
