When Daniel Saks talks about the future of technology, the Landbase co-founder and CEO envisions a fundamental shift in how we interact with software, one that could be as transformative as the move from on-premise systems to the cloud. Saks calls this shift “Vibe AI,” a term inspired by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy’s concept of “Vibe coding.” It describes a new class of applications where natural language is all that stands between the user and a fully executed task. Instead of clicking through menus or learning a platform’s quirks, you simply tell the AI what you want, and it gets to work. “Every category of software is going to have a new set of tools that follow these Vibe principles,” Saks explains. “This is the future, the way I believe software will be built.”
From Commanding Software to Conversing with It
For Saks, the key change is that “people no longer have to work for their software, but their software works for you.” In the Vibe AI model, the user interacts with technology as though it were a colleague, assigning tasks in natural language and receiving completed work in return. “The AI essentially does the work for you and you can chat with it as you would a team member,” he says. “That’s the future of what technology is, that you tell the technology to do something just as if you would a human and it figures out the whole workflow end to end.”
This approach eliminates the need to navigate complex user interfaces or learn multiple systems. Whether it is a sales pipeline, a website build, or a market analysis, the interaction becomes conversational.
Examples That Redefine Productivity
Saks points to a growing ecosystem of Vibe AI experiences, each transforming a specific domain. A user might ask Lovable to “build me a website for my communication coaching business” and receive a professional, multi-page site in minutes. Perplexity, an AI-powered search tool, can go beyond retrieving links to actively sourcing a product and even negotiating with a dealership on a buyer’s behalf.
Landbase, the company Saks leads, applies the same principles to go-to-market strategy. Businesses can request highly specific lead generation in plain language, such as “find journalists in the UK that write about tech for major publications.” Within moments, the platform returns a curated, actionable list. “Generating leads is the lifeblood of any business,” Saks says. “If you’re the CEO or head of sales, you can just tell Landbase to go find customers and send them messages, and it just does the work for you.”
Lowering the Barrier for Every User
While early adopters in tech may embrace AI quickly, Saks recognizes that many professionals, especially those less familiar with emerging tools, may hesitate. “If you’re used to using Google, go use Perplexity instead,” he suggests. “Instead of just giving you a website, it gives you the solution.” This low-friction entry point is crucial for building trust. Once users experience AI delivering results without complex setup or training, adoption tends to accelerate. As Saks sees it, this is not about replacing people, but about freeing them from repetitive, low-value tasks so they can focus on creativity, strategy, and human connection.
The Road Ahead
The implications of Vibe AI extend far beyond any single application. “For anything you want to do in life, you can find a company that’s going to solve the problem for you,” Saks says. From booking travel to managing marketing campaigns, the boundaries between personal and professional productivity are blurring as AI agents become more capable. In this future, software does not just enable work, it performs it. “You’re just going to tell an AI agent to do it, and it will do it for you,” Saks explains. “A lot of what would have been done by manual teams or people is now done by these AI agents.”
For Landbase, that means continuing to refine AI-driven go-to-market solutions that allow companies to scale faster, reach the right customers, and focus their energy where it matters most. “If you don’t have customers, you can’t make money. The question is, how fast and precisely can you find them? That’s where AI changes the game.”
