Vibe Coding Showdown:
which build bot actually ships?
We ran the same prompt across Bolt, v0, Lovable, Replit and Raq.com. Only one returned a working solution.
Tested with identical prompt
The Test: UK Company Financial Research Tool
We asked each platform to build the same complex internal tool with the exact same prompt

What We Asked Each Platform to Build
A complete UK company financial research tool with these specific requirements:
Smart Company Search
Autocomplete dropdown powered by Companies House API with automatic validation via FinUK API to ensure only real companies with financial data
Background Processing
Asynchronous data pull from multiple APIs while users can navigate away and continue working—no need to keep the tab open
AI Comparative Analysis
Gemini 2.5 Pro performs deep analysis across all selected companies, spotting trends and highlighting competitive advantages
Team-Ready Access
All team members can access generated reports with search and filtering capabilities in a clean, professional interface
Professional Formatting
Clean data tables for Companies House and FinUK data, plus beautifully formatted AI-generated reports with visual hierarchy
Production Ready
Must work end-to-end with real API integrations, proper error handling, and database storage—not just a prototype

Why Did Raq.com Work?
While others failed, Raq.com delivered a complete, working solution.
Raq.com
Self-Correcting AI
Checks itself and fixes issues automatically without user intervention
Researches APIs thoroughly to understand real data structures
Makes mistakes but fixes them autonomously during development
Delivers working solutions that actually function end-to-end
Others
Limited Self-Correction
Don't do enough checking of their own implementations
Hallucinates/guesses API structures without proper research
Expect users to debug technical issues manually
Difficult for non-technical users to get working solutions without continuous manual error looping
The Key Difference
Raq.com's AI agent continuously validates and improves its work, while other platforms generate code and hope it works. Raq.com brings the power of Claude Code agentic AI to non-technical users.
