The Vibe Coding Trap: Why Your AI-Built App Dies the Day You Deploy It
Every AI app builder helps you build. None of them help you evolve. That's not a feature gap — it's a philosophy problem.

Sharp opinions about AI app builders, self-living software, and why the industry is solving the wrong problem. No fluff. No sponsored content. Just what we actually think.
Every AI app builder helps you build. None of them help you evolve. That's not a feature gap — it's a philosophy problem.
We built Chorus because we saw gaps in every existing tool. Here's where each one shines and where they fall short — including us.
We coined the term "self-living software" because nothing else described what we were building. Here's what it means.
Token-based pricing looks cheap until the AI starts debugging. Then it gets expensive. Really expensive.
The feedback widget isn't a feature. It's a philosophy. Here's why we put it at the center of everything we build.
Two-week cycles made sense when deployment was expensive. What happens when deployment costs nothing and AI can ship in minutes?
Every AI app builder uses the same LLMs under the hood. Most mark them up 5-20x and call them "credits." We think you should own the relationship with your AI provider directly.
Each one takes under 30 minutes and costs less than $5 in API usage. Zero coding required. Here are step-by-step descriptions.
The metaphor we use for software is wrong. We say "build" like it's a house. But the best software behaves more like a garden.
Product managers spend 60% of their time translating between users and developers. What if the translation layer was automatic?
