Collins Dictionary Names "Vibe Coding" Word of the Year 2025

Imagine computers need special instructions, called code, to do things.

Usually, people who know a lot of specific computer language write this code.

'Vibe coding' is a new way where you can just tell a smart computer helper, like an AI chatbot, what you want the code to do using everyday words.

It's like describing the feeling or look you want for a website or app, not just what it should do.

This helps make technology more about how it feels to use, not just how it works.

Collins Dictionary picked 'vibe coding' because it shows how much AI is changing how we create things with computers and how we talk about it.
