Vibe

A state of focused, creative flow achieved through collaboration with artificial intelligence — especially large language models like ChatGPT. A vibe isn’t just a feeling; it’s a working rhythm, a synergy between human intention and machine intelligence where productivity feels effortless and ideas come naturally.

This isn’t traditional work. This is the new workflow — assisted, accelerated, and attuned.

Origin:
Evolved from “vibe coding,” a term popularized by developers to describe writing code fluidly with the help of AI. Vibe has since grown to describe the broader phenomenon of AI-assisted creativity across writing, design, planning, research, and more.
“That wasn’t work — that was a full-on vibe with ChatGPT.”
“I found the vibe and just ran with it — knocked out the whole proposal.”
“She’s not typing aimlessly. She’s vibing.”
“I vibed it in like 30 minutes.”
