About the project

What VibeKey does.

VibeKey is a smart Android keyboard designed to move typing beyond the basics. It combines AI-powered writing assistance, custom themes, Vibe Cards for expression, and built-in browsing — so users get more done without leaving the keyboard. CoreDron partnered on end-to-end product design and Android engineering, focusing on speed, personalisation, and a keyboard experience that stays out of the way while doing more.

What the Client Needed

Problem

Although widely used, the platform had a mid-level user experience, lacking modern personalisation and AI-powered features that today's users expect.

  • Limited Personalization in Traditional Keyboards

    Standard keyboards offered minimal customisation, leaving users unable to tailor the experience to their taste.

  • Constant App Switching

    Users had to jump between apps to search, share, or express themselves, breaking the flow of conversation.

  • Generic Messaging Experience

    Messaging felt flat — no way to add personality or context beyond plain text and emoji.

  • Lack of Built-In Content Discovery

    Finding GIFs, images, or references required leaving the keyboard entirely.

  • Growing Demand for AI-Assisted Communication

    Users increasingly expect the keyboard itself to help them write faster and more clearly.

  • Balancing Features with Performance

    Feature-rich keyboards often slow the device down or drain battery, hurting daily usability.
