Vibe Coding for Teams: Add Collaboration to Your AI Coding Workflow

Vibe coding — describing what you want and letting AI generate the code — is powerful but has a collaboration problem. Most AI coding tools are solo workflows. You can't easily share work-in-progress, collaborate in real-time, or ensure outputs match your design system. Onlook solves this.

The Problem with Solo Vibe Coding

  • Solo workflow — hard to share work-in-progress with teammates
  • Throwaway code — doesn't use your real components
  • Brand drift — AI generates generic HTML/CSS, not your design system
  • No handoff path — "now how do I share this?" becomes a blocker

Onlook Makes Vibe Coding Work for Teams

  • Visual canvas — see and arrange AI-generated UIs spatially
  • Your real components — AI constrained to your design system
  • Real-time collaboration — share canvas, leave spatial comments
  • PR output — changes become mergeable pull requests
  • Works with any AI coding tool you already use

Vibe Coding for Teams

Vibe coding has a collaboration problem

Most AI coding tools are solo workflows. Onlook adds the missing layer — a visual canvas where teams collaborate on AI-generated UIs with their real components.

The Problem

Solo vibe coding doesn't scale. Teams need to share, iterate, and ship together.

Solo workflow

Most AI coding tools are designed for individual use. Sharing means screenshots or screen shares.

Throwaway code

AI generates generic HTML/CSS. You'll rebuild it anyway to use your real components.

Brand drift

Every vibe-coded UI looks different. AI doesn't know your design system.

"Now what?"

You built something cool. Now how do you share it, get feedback, or hand it off?

The Solution

Onlook adds the visual layer. Vibe code with your team, on your components, to real PRs.

The masonry layout is breaking on mobile - can you fix the responsive columns?
I see the issue! The CSS columns aren't adapting properly to smaller screens. Let me update the responsive breakpoints and add proper mobile optimization.

Visual canvas

See and arrange AI-generated UIs spatially. Not just terminal output.

Your real components

AI uses your buttons, cards, layouts. Not generic HTML.

Team collaboration

Share canvas, leave spatial comments, work together in real-time.

Ship PRs

Changes become pull requests. Engineers review and merge.

How It Works

Vibe code anywhere. Collaborate in Onlook. Ship together.

01

Build with any AI tool

Use any AI coding tool to generate your initial UI. Onlook works with your existing codebase.

02

Iterate on the canvas

Open in Onlook to visually refine. Drag elements, adjust styles, use AI with your real components. See changes in real code.

03

Collaborate and ship

Share your canvas with teammates. Leave spatial comments. When ready, submit as a PR for engineers to review and merge.

Vibe Coding: Solo vs. Team

The difference between prototyping alone and shipping with your team.

Solo Vibe Coding

  • Generate generic HTML/CSS
  • Share via screenshots
  • Rebuild to use your components
  • Manual handoff process
  • Code needs translation

Team Vibe Coding with Onlook

  • Use your real components
  • Share a live canvas
  • AI constrained to your design system
  • Collaborate with spatial comments
  • Ship PRs engineers can merge

Frequently asked questions

Vibe coding is a workflow where you describe what you want in natural language and AI generates the code. Most vibe coding tools are designed for solo use, not teams.
