About YouWare

YouWare is an AI-powered creative platform that enables users to develop applications, websites, and games using natural language prompts, a method it calls "vibe coding". The company was founded in March 2025 by Leon Ming (also known as Ming Chaoping), a former product leader at CapCut and Moonshot AI. The idea originated when Ming identified a gap in the market for a tool to easily turn shared code snippets into live, interactive projects. He built and launched the first version of YouWare overnight, and the platform reportedly grew to over 1 million visits within 48 hours.

Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, with teams in the United States and Japan, YouWare has positioned itself as a community-oriented platform, often described as the "YouTube for vibe coders". The platform is designed for users without traditional coding skills, such as product managers, marketers, and independent creators, allowing them to transform ideas into functional digital products. Key features include one-click deployment to turn AI-generated code into a live webpage, natural language prompting via text or voice, photo prototyping to convert sketches into apps, and a "remix" function that allows users to build upon others' projects. YouWare also offers an app for iOS and Android, enabling mobile creation.

The company operates on a freemium business model. Users receive free credits upon signing up to build a limited number of projects, with an option to upgrade to a paid subscription for unlimited access and premium features like private projects. An additional revenue stream is its Creator Incentive Program, which offers a revenue share to creators whose projects are used by others. Within two months of its launch, YouWare raised tens of millions from investors including 5Y Capital, ZhenFund, and Hillhouse Ventures, reaching a valuation of approximately $80 million, which later reportedly grew to $200 million.
