Vibe working is a workplace methodology that extends the concept of vibe coding to broader enterprise workflows, emphasizing natural language interaction with autonomous artificial intelligence agents rather than predefined procedural workflows.

Overview

Vibe working represents a paradigm shift from traditional workflow-based enterprise systems to more fluid, adaptive approaches powered by agentic AI. The methodology prioritizes autonomous problem-solving over deterministic execution paths, allowing AI agents to dynamically adapt to complex business scenarios without rigid procedural constraints.

The approach emphasizes "less control, more tools" philosophy, enabling AI agents to operate with greater autonomy while providing users with comprehensive toolsets to accomplish workplace tasks through natural language interactions.

Etymology and origins

The term "vibe working" was coined by Kay Zhu, Chief Technology Officer of Genspark, during a presentation at VB Transform 2025. Zhu drew parallels between vibe working and the popular "vibe coding" approach used by developers, stating: "The vision is simple, we want to bring the Cursor experience for developers to the workspace for everyone."

The concept emerged as enterprise organizations began seeking alternatives to traditional workflow automation, which Zhu argued "fundamentally limit what AI agents can accomplish for complex business tasks."

The concept has gained recognition in broader industry discussions about agentic AI transformation. Technology analyst Imran Chughtai noted that the idea of vibe coding "has grown into 'vibe-working', where AI contributes across writing, design, operations, and strategy," highlighting its expansion beyond development environments into comprehensive workplace methodologies.

Technical implementation

Vibe working systems typically employ a core philosophy of "less control, more tools," departing from traditional enterprise AI approaches that rely on predefined workflows. The methodology operates on a classic agent loop: plan, execute, observe, and backtrack.

Key technical characteristics include:

• Integration of multiple large language models in mixture of experts configurations
• Extensive tool ecosystems (often 80+ tools)
• Autonomous backtracking capabilities for error recovery
• Reinforcement learning mechanisms for continuous improvement
• Natural language interfaces for task specification

Commercial implementations

Genspark AI workplace suite

The primary commercial implementation of vibe working principles is found in Genspark's comprehensive AI workplace suite, which includes several specialized agents:

AI Slides: An autonomous presentation creation tool that generates professional slide decks from natural language prompts. The system can create custom charts, visual content, and structured presentations without requiring predefined templates.

AI Sheets: A data analysis and spreadsheet automation agent that can collect, organize, and analyze data from multiple sources. The tool features natural language querying and can automatically generate lead lists, perform market research, and create structured datasets.

AI Secretary: An autonomous assistant capable of managing email, calendar scheduling, phone calls, and various administrative tasks through natural language instructions.

Data Search Autopilot Agent: A specialized research tool that builds intelligent execution plans for data collection tasks, performing research significantly faster than manual methods while cross-referencing sources and verifying accuracy.

Industry adoption

The Genspark Super Agent, the first commercial implementation of vibe working principles, demonstrated rapid market adoption, scaling from launch to $36 million ARR in 45 days.

During live demonstrations at VB Transform 2025, the system showcased capabilities including autonomous research, presentation creation, phone calling, and marketing data analysis. Most notably, the system successfully placed a real-time phone call during the presentation, demonstrating its practical autonomous capabilities.

The platform has found applications across various professional domains, including:

• Business development and lead generation
• Market research and competitive analysis
• Presentation design and content creation
• Administrative task automation
• Data collection and analysis workflows

Comparison with traditional approaches

Vibe working differs significantly from established enterprise AI frameworks such as LangChain or CrewAI, which typically require more structured workflow definition. While these platforms excel at orchestrating predictable multi-step processes, vibe working architectures prioritize autonomous problem-solving over deterministic execution paths.

Traditional workflow-based systems often fail when encountering edge cases or unexpected scenarios, whereas vibe working implementations use intelligent backtracking and adaptive planning to recover from failures and find alternative approaches.

Criticisms and limitations

Critics of vibe working argue that the lack of structured workflows may introduce unpredictability in enterprise environments where consistency and auditability are paramount. Traditional workflow advocates contend that predetermined processes provide necessary guardrails for mission-critical business operations.

Additionally, the autonomous nature of vibe working systems raises questions about accountability and control in enterprise settings, particularly regarding compliance and regulatory requirements.
