I believe vibe manufacturing will create thousands of companies that make $1M or more a year.
In 2024, Lovable and Bolt made anyone a vibe coder.
Now the same shift happens for physical products, and OpenAI's Astra was the first model of this era.
Before, a hardware product meant your team needed a full-time 3D designer, a mechanical engineer, and an electrical engineer.
Now you pay $20 a month for a frontier model to walk you through all of it.
The market for your product can be small. If it costs little to make, there is a business.
