Conversational coding is an iterative dialogue with a generative AI system to create, modify, explain, or debug software. The user provides prompts and feedback, while the model generates code or suggestions that are refined over successive turns.
An iterative dialog between you and a generative AI model for the purpose of creating software. You issue a prompt describing some software. Then, the model uses that description to generate code. Then, you issue a new prompt to address the flaws in the previous prompt or in the generated code, and the model generates updated code. You two keep going back and forth until the generated software is good enough. Conversation coding is essentially the original meaning of vibe coding. Contrast with specificational coding.
