Used Emergent on my laptop for a side project. The AI really understood what I wanted and built a live web app with database, auth, and deployment. That felt like having a dev team in the browser. UI was sometimes laggy and I burned credits faster than expected, but overall the experience was exciting and I actually shipped something I’m proud of.

Messy internal dashboard, and the first hour was honestly magic describe the vibe, pick a stack, and suddenly I’ve got a working app with auth, DB, and basic workflows wired up. Watching the agents plan, write code, run tests, and patch things in real time makes you feel like you’re managing juniors instead of wrestling with an IDE yourself.
