Most vibe-coded apps today look like AI slob. Here's a six-step process to avoid that. First, build the ugly prototype in Google AI Studio with zero prompts for aesthetics. Only once you get the logic and functionality right, you start defining the brand's soul. For this, prompt Claude for something specific like calm and analog to stay away from the usual tech slob. Next, move to this Pinterest alternative to pick 5-10 images that capture your taste and feed them to Weeby AI. By the way, I recommend using Flux 2 Pro to build a cohesive palette, then create a visual anchor like, say, a vintage cassette, and let that reference guide the elements of the app. Now, for the most important part, the logo, use Ideagram V3 and prompt it with strong negative statements like these. Finally, assemble everything in Figma and feed these screenshots back into Google AI Studio to vibe-code toward your North Star design.

This video outlines a six-step process for designing aesthetically pleasing apps using AI tools, focusing on functionality first and aesthetics later.
