Vibe coding: the AI ​​revolution that is redefining the software market

The technology market is undergoing a paradigm shift that goes beyond the arrival of the internet. We're not just talking about "using AI" to speed up tasks, but a structural transformation in how software is designed, sold, and operated. During the ERP Summit 2026, Robson Del Fiol , Executive Director of Education at Skyone, brought up a concept that is already changing the daily operations of companies: Vibe Coding .

But what exactly does this mean for developers, IT managers, and SaaS companies? If you still sell software on a per-user license basis or believe that the development barrier protects your business, this article is for you.

What is Vibe Coding and why is it the "worst competitor"?

Vibe Coding isn't about replacing the developer, but about challenging them. It describes a model where anyone, whether a CFO, HR director, or manager, can create a functional system simply by talking to Artificial Intelligence.

In this scenario, the user sets their intention (the "vibe"), whether through audio or text, and the AI ​​translates that into code, integrations, and interfaces.

• Real-world example: A purchasing assistant describes their supplier analysis workflow to the AI, and in a single day, they have a Salesforce-integrated system ready to use. A process that would traditionally take six months to develop.

The biggest challenge: today, a software company's biggest competitor isn't another ERP system, but the user themselves. If the development barrier has dropped to zero, the customer can simply decide to build their own system instead of paying for a rigid license.

The new economy of AI agents

The rise of Vibe Coding is driving what Del Fiol calls the Agent Economy . In this economy, companies are moving away from operating solely through human interaction with systems and towards operating with one technology operating another, or one agent operating another.

The end of per-user licensing

If a system performs all transactions autonomously and the company doesn't need an employee to operate it, who will you sell the license to? The traditional "seat" (logged-in user) billing model becomes meaningless when companies have fewer employees and more automation.

The new forms of monetization should migrate to:

1. Charges apply for processing fees.
2. Billing through automation completed.
3. Offering embedded intelligence that allows the customer to create their own agents.

AI-Native Software: Where is the opportunity?

While Vibe Coding simplifies application creation, it brings side effects: low-quality software and critical cybersecurity risks. This is where the opportunity lies for technology vendors who decide to lead the transformation.

Software won't die, but it will "disappear" as the primary interface. The interface will become voice or intelligent conversation. To survive in this AI-Native era, software needs to become a platform that delivers:

• Seamless integration: systems that communicate with each other without friction.
• API and data management: organizing so that AI agents operate on a solid foundation.
• Governance and security: the unofficial creation of systems within companies (Shadow AI) requires IT standards and governance to be secure.

Skyone Studio: the infrastructure for the age of intelligence

To enable this transition from traditional software to the AI-Native model, Skyone developed Skyone Studio . It is an integrated platform that eliminates silos and organizes data to simplify AI projects.

The platform operates in strategic layers that solve the problems mentioned by Del Fiol:

• iPaaS (Integration): Connects over 400 systems (such as SAP B1, Salesforce, and HubSpot) so that data flows seamlessly.
• Lakehouse: ensures that data is organized and transformed to feed intelligence.
• Agent layer: enables the development of customized AI agents that perform actions, plan tasks, and collaborate with humans.

Unlike the "amateur" development that Vibe Coding can generate, Studio offers Guard Rails , allowing AI to operate under corporate security rules, such as two-factor authentication and context analysis.

Conclusion: the challenge of ignoring the signs

Ignoring the AI ​​and Vibe Coding revolution is like seeing a tsunami from afar and not running. When the wave arrives, there will be no time to react.

Today's strategic decisions will determine who will be the leader and who will be the victim of technology commoditization. The way forward is to embrace change, transform your software into a platform, and focus on creating tangible value for the end user.
