Voice AI Dashboard Journey: From Frustration to Success

Our Dashboard Development Struggles

For quite some time now, we’ve been on a mission to create an effective client dashboard that displays voice AI phone usage data. Unfortunately, this journey has been filled with more roadblocks than breakthroughs – until recently.

The Tools That Didn’t Quite Work

We explored several promising platforms in our quest for the perfect dashboard-building solution:

• Lovable: Fell short of our expectations. It needed more prompting than the others and took longer to deliver its results.
• bolt.new: Delivered underwhelming results. Like Lovable, we had to work harder at prompting to get bolt to shape our dashboard the way we wanted it. 
• Google’s Firebase Studio: Despite its reputation, it didn’t meet our needs. It built a great dashboard but refused to export it.

These attempts were plagued by persistent code errors that didn’t seem to want to be resolved. Perhaps most frustrating was the inability to deploy these web apps beyond their creation environments to anywhere useful, severely limiting their practical use.

Our Game-Changing Solution

As a final attempt to develop an in-house solution that could provide real value to our clients through live metrics, we turned to Hostinger’s offering – their “vibe coder” called Hostinger Horizons.

One-Click Deployment That Actually Works

Hostinger Horizons promises “one-click deployment” – a claim that, in our experience, proved remarkably accurate. The results were nothing short of impressive:

• Dashboard created in just 10 minutes
• Minimal prompting required
• Seamless deployment directly to a website

What’s Next for Our Dashboard

We’re currently working on fine-tuning the dashboard and replacing the placeholder data with actual, live numbers. We’re hoping clients appreciate the efforts that have been made to bring them a useful KPI tool.

What’s Next for Vibe Coding?

As large language models improve and as AI agents continue along their road to autonomy, we at Pixtamatic have little doubt that vibe coding will become even more intuitive.  For most of us, employing a back end developer to connect fantastic looking user interfaces to something useful might still be a good first option, until vibe coders with their AI agents can handle connections as well as pretty front ends. We’re curious about your thoughts on vibe coding. Is it worth investing time and resources in this approach, or should businesses stick to the traditional model of hiring specialised developers?
