Currently the SAAS (Software as a service) market is flooded with vibe coded apps. This has been the norm for the past 2-3 years. In this blog we talk about our stand on this and the involvement of LLMs (Large language Models) in the development of Altair Play.
What is a vibe coding?Vibe coding is the technique where people with or without knowledge about programming prompts Artificial Intelligence systems to generate softwares. A vibe coded app is such generated software.
Some examples for such prompt to software AI systems are Lovable, Claude, Chatgpt codex etc...
Is a software generated by vibe coding inherently bad?No, In 2026 AI systems have reached a point where they can build almost anything that a human can, and sometimes better. But during our journey we have found some complaints from the internet users against such apps and we suggest that even if you build it by prompting, Test the app before releasing it to the public.
Here are some of the most common cases regarding vibecoded app
- AI generated softwares are sometimes found to be bloated and memory hungry.
- Memory Leaks are a common case found in generated softwares
- Similar color themes and User interfaces are used among such generated software
The role of AI agents in the development of Altair Play?
We are very proud to say that Altair Play is not a vibe coded app and its development involves real hardwork and dedication from our developers.
Altair Play includes many systems. Including a Windows client, with its own game tracking and launcher Architecture. It act as the source of truth for all your gaming activity, syncing with a web service where you can browse your game activity and achievements online.
To make such a system, say in the case of our Windows Client the performance aspect is very important, since it is a service that runs in the background. For a gamer each and every frames are precious and we know that. We prioritize the performance of our launcher and each functions are carefully written by our developers.
In this time AI agents are in such a state that we couldn't avoid them altogether and we don't think we should. The future runs of AI, and we'd rather work with it than be swept aside.
Some areas where we take help from AI agents are Testing, Debugging, Search Engine Optimization, Perfomance Optimization etc
Conclusion
Altair Play is architected and built by developers. AI agents helped us test, debug, and polish it. They didn't build it and it is what makes Altair Play different from other thousands of game launchers.
