Elia sees it as validation, not a threat. The fact that OpenAI — "AI by definition by its core" — put out "a no code builder" proves "AI is not there to be able to generate an agent from scratch." They built it "for developers, not for non technical people," which to him is "a proof that those tools are really needed more than ever."

Elia reframes the biggest possible competitor as the best validation. "Just imagine open AI is AI by definition by its core, and the fact that they put out like a no code builder, it just it's a validation that AI is not there to be able to generate an agent from scratch — it's not fast enough, it has a lot of limitation." Crucially, "they put that for developers, not for non technical people... it's really a proof that those tools are really needed more than ever, and people are visual and needs to have a feedback." Where VibeFlow differs: OpenAI focuses on agents, but "agents will always be non deterministic, so we don't focus only on agents, we focus on back end and we generate deterministic code." He notes automation tools "like Zapier... they will not disappear."
