We are brought
together
by one prompt

Vibecoding is a community of people who build products together with AI.

We help you start: from an idea to a working prototype.

The first international conference on vibecoding in Russia. Organised by the Centre for Transfer and Management of Socio-Economic Information at HSE University together with the Vibecoding non-profit. 24 September 2026, HSE University (Moscow) and online.

Vibecoding

An autonomous non-profit organisation based in Russia. We help people with no development background start building products together with AI.

01 We teach people to start

We break down tools and approaches so that a first working prototype can be assembled in one evening — with no programming course first.

02 We build a community

The vibecoders' club: meetups, project reviews, code review and prompt exchange. There is no entrance exam.

03 We build a bridge

We connect vibecoders and the state: we show what already works in practice and help take it into account in decisions.

04 We map the market

The stack directory: we collect tools and sort them onto shelves — the software stack first of all. Vibecoding is wider than code, so the list keeps growing.

We are not utopians: a tool on its own does not make a product successful.

But the choice you make now decides who will be creating products tomorrow. Eight principles on how we work with AI and with responsibility for the result.

The vibecoding manifesto. Eight principles

A tool on its own does not make a product successful — but it changes who is able to create that product.

01

The tool does not make the product. Responsibility for the result stays with the human — the model does not take it away.

02

You can start with no experience. A first working prototype matters more than a first programming textbook.

03

A prompt is a technical specification. The more precise the context, the fewer fixes later.

04

Code has to be read — even code a model wrote. Unread code becomes someone else's within a week.

05

Check before production. Code review, tests and common sense are not cancelled by speed.

06

The data is not yours. It is always worth knowing where the context goes and what stays with the model provider.

07

The community is open. We share prompts, scenarios and mistakes — mistakes especially.

08

Dialogue with institutions. We explain how this works instead of waiting for decisions made blind.

The manifesto is a working document. If you disagree with a wording, write to us: we discuss it in the club.

Tools, sorted onto shelves

We categorise what appears on the market — the software stack first of all. Vibecoding is wider than code, so the list keeps growing: send us what is missing.

01 · Models

The part that writes the code. The choice depends on language, data privacy and token price.

02 · Editors

Where the project lives. The agent works with the whole folder, not with a single file.

03 · Prompt to app

The shortest path to a first prototype: text goes in, a link comes out.

04 · Automation

For when the product is not a website but services and models wired to each other.

The notes on the cards are about access from Russia, payment method and a free tier. Terms change: check on the vendor's site before paying.

The vibecoders' club

A place where people ask «how do I do this» and get an answer from someone who already has. No entrance exam: you need interest, not a CV.

Walkthrough

A project in one evening

A member brings a task, together we assemble a prototype and look at where the prompt worked and where the code had to be read.

Review

Code review for non-technical people

We show what to look at in generated code before publishing: data, access, dependencies.

Exchange

A prompt library

A shared set of prompts and automation scenarios that club members keep adding to.

Three steps

From application to a first build it usually takes one meeting.

01 Application

Send us a couple of lines about yourself and what you want to build. A technical background is not required.

02 Introduction

We send an invitation to the next meetup and a short set of materials so you arrive prepared.

03 First build

You pick a tool from the stack and assemble a working prototype together with a mentor from the club.
