Lovable
Create apps and websites by chatting with AI
What is Lovable?
Lovable is a full-stack AI development platform launched in general availability in November 2024. It enables users to build, iterate on, and deploy production-grade web applications—including frontend, backend, database, authentication, and integrations—using natural-language prompts. The platform supports collaboration via shared workspaces, code export via GitHub, and enterprise-grade governance and security features. Credit-based consumption enables predictable billing while credit top-ups and annual discounts offer flexibility.
