In this AI era,what kind of niche is good for some who doesn't know coding. Is this even possible, if then how?

I'm very skeptical. I see all the hype, listen to people say it's 2 more years until coding is fully automated but it's hard for me to believe seeing how the current models get stuck and have severe limitations despite a lot of impressive things it can do.

I think the best use for vibe coding is learning. Tools are free and you can literally just try whatever in minutes. You can quickly get a feel for the limitations. I recommend vibe coding something simple, getting it to work and then going line by line and asking the AI how it works or any question really. I think with AI anyone can learn to code relatively quickly by themselves, with AI as a tutor.

i dont understand the question. Are you asking for a "idea you can do as some who doesn't know coding" or are you asking "if it is possible to start an up as some who doesn't know coding" or is your question "how to start a startup as a vibe coder"??

as it concerns the idea, well.. I heard of some providing it as a service. One can buy their ideas. May be you can invest on that, if you need an idea. But I'm afraid, if you can't code / understand whats happening, you might get in trouble with everything around and outside pure coding. One thing is to code, another is to set everything up whats needed for production later. So, in worst case, you'll need some one doing what you can't, or, you (vibe)learn it. That shouldn't stay unseen on your horizont - but, I don't know what your idea is and what is needed. You should be experienced with computers and such though in case you want to do big parts yourself. So, it depends on the idea, if it fits to some who doesn't know coding.

So it's possible to start a startup as a vibe-coder. But, you should have the other skills neccessary for such. One might compansate a lack of knowledge by the very means of vibe-asking -> one should be of certain mindset, with a smart thinking and be smart enough to know the questions and understanding to shape a prompt. Or, search for some others and complement each other's skills. ... its not impossible.

The other thing is - I somehow have the feeling your view is to naive on this thing. Of course, each and every can start something up at any time in the past/now/future. Each hour there's a startup founded some where for sure. One can start up a grocery store, google or microsoft, or a .... thats absolutely not a question. You opened this post with reference to vibe-coding, so I assume its a SaaS or App or something in this kind. So I must assume further, you want to do something with code as vibe-coder. Here, I think you'll experience fierce difficulties, as you show a lack of curiosity and founder's mindset. At least, I feel like this - no offense. For example, you also could have asked ChatGPT on this and might already get instructions - instead reading my comment ;)
