Samsung Hints at a Future Where You Can Code Apps with AI: Is ‘Vibe Coding’ the Next Considerable Thing?
Samsung is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI on your phone. Whereas current Galaxy AI features focus on streamlining existing tasks – enhancing photos, summarizing notes, and assisting with messages – the company is looking further ahead. The goal? To empower users to not just utilize their phones, but to truly customize them, potentially even at the code level.
Beyond Automation: The Rise of ‘Vibe Coding’
Currently, Galaxy phone users have access to “Modes & Routines,” a built-in platform for automating tasks. However, a new concept called “vibe coding” promises a far more profound level of control. Vibe coding involves simply telling an AI what you aim for an app or service to do, and letting the AI generate the code. As generative AI models improve, this idea is gaining traction.
Won-Joon Choi, Mobile eXperience COO at Samsung, recently acknowledged the potential of vibe coding. “So vibe coding is very interesting, and something we’re looking into,” Choi stated in a recent interview. Currently, users are limited to pre-made tools, but vibe coding could unlock true customization.
What Could Vibe Coding Indicate for Galaxy Users?
Imagine wanting an app that perfectly manages your specific hobby, or a tool that automates a niche workflow. Instead of learning to code yourself, or hiring a developer, you could simply describe your needs to an AI and have a functional app created. This level of personalization could dramatically change how we interact with our devices.
While Samsung’s current Galaxy AI features are available on devices like smartphones, smartwatches, earbuds and tablets, the features available vary by device. The Galaxy S26 currently boasts the most advanced Galaxy AI features, with One UI 8.5 bringing some of these features to a wider range of devices.
Galaxy AI: A Continually Evolving Platform
Samsung isn’t stopping with the current suite of AI tools. The Galaxy AI platform is designed to evolve, and a vibe coding component could be a future addition. This ambition signals a long-term commitment to integrating AI deeply into the Galaxy experience.
