OpenAI Unveils Vibe Coding Tools for Mature AI Experiences at DevDay 2025

OpenAI's DevDay 2025 highlighted "vibe coding" with the launch of an Apps SDK that enables developers to integrate third-party apps directly in ChatGPT, aiming to make app creation faster and more accessible. This new approach allows even non-expert developers to quickly build and deploy applications, often prioritizing speed and user engagement over traditional coding rigor, which has sparked mixed reactions in the developer community about quality and sustainability. Critics note that vibe coding lowers the barrier to entry, allowing rapid iteration and market testing but sometimes at the cost of code quality, security, and long-term maintainability. Security experts warn that AI-generated code, often based on existing vulnerable software, increases software supply chain risks, requiring new development lifecycle strategies to manage these vulnerabilities effectively. Tools like GitLab Duo Agent Platform are emerging to support vibe coding by providing AI-powered agents that assist in coding tasks, enhancing productivity and context-aware code generation. Additionally, innovations such as E2LLM provide debugging solutions by giving AI models real-time access to the runtime state of applications, helping bridge the gap between generated code and actual user interface behavior.
