Q: Do you and your team use vibe code internally in Diesta to prototype?
Yes, for internal tooling and automated workflows; while production-grade output is still refined by humans, AI-assisted design tools accelerate prototyping, and large language model capabilities are integrated to export code back into the platform with substantial automation.
