Software, legal services and video games stocks have been selling off in recent weeks on fears that new AI features and tools could wipe them out. But how real is that threat? We decided to find out.
CNBC’s Deidre Bosa and I used Anthropic’s AI coding tool “Claude Code” with the goal of creating a replacement for Monday.com
, a project management platform with a $5 billion market cap. We didn’t expect to get anywhere — we’re not developers and we don’t have any coding experience. But we have become adept at vibe-coding tools, which are AI tools that can build functioning apps based on commands in plain English from users, including those with limited technical chops.
We started out simple, telling Claude to build a project management dashboard similar to Monday, with features like multiple project boards, assigned team members and a status dropdown. It spit out a working prototype in minutes.
We then asked Claude to research Monday on its own, identify main features and recreate them. It added a number of other features, including a calendar.
