# Lovable

> An AI app builder that turns natural-language prompts into shippable full-stack web apps.

Website: https://lovable.dev

Lovable is a prompt-driven app builder: you describe the app you want in plain language, watch it scaffold in a live preview, then refine and deploy from one place. It is the canonical "vibe coding" tool — you steer with chat, and Lovable writes the actual code behind the preview rather than producing a throwaway mockup.

It is aimed at founders, product people, and developers who want to go from idea to a working full-stack app in hours, not weeks. The generated stack is mainstream — React, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui on the frontend with Supabase for the backend — so the output is real code you can keep building on, not a locked-in proprietary format.

## Highlights

- **Prompt-to-app generation** — describe a dashboard, landing page, or SaaS tool and Lovable writes the code and renders a live preview you can iterate on conversationally.
- **Real, exportable stack** — outputs a React + Vite + TypeScript SPA styled with Tailwind and shadcn/ui, so the code is portable and editable outside the platform.
- **Supabase backend** — wire up Postgres, auth, file storage, and Deno-based Edge Functions for serverless logic without leaving the chat.
- **Two-way GitHub sync** — connect a repository so developers can contribute via pull requests or take the code and deploy it anywhere.
- **One-click deploy and custom domains** — publish to a live URL instantly; paid plans attach your own domain.
- **Payments and connectors** — built-in Stripe integration for subscriptions, plus chat connectors (MCP servers) for tools like Linear and Notion.

## In an AI-assisted workflow

Lovable fits the earliest part of the loop, where you want a working product surface fast. A common pattern is to generate the first version by prompt, connect Supabase for data and auth, then hand the project to engineers via GitHub once it needs real review and custom logic:

```text
Build a SaaS dashboard with email/password auth, a projects table,
and a billing page. Use Supabase for the backend and Stripe for subscriptions.
```

> [!TIP]
> Once you enable GitHub sync, treat Lovable as the prototyping front-end and the repo as the source of truth — engineers can open pull requests against the same code the AI is editing.

## Good to know

Lovable is a hosted web platform — no local install. Pricing is freemium: the free tier gives 5 credits/day, capped at 30 credits/month, with projects hosted on lovable.app domains. Paid plans start at Pro ($25/mo for 100 monthly credits) and Business ($50/mo for 100 monthly credits), adding private projects, custom domains, SSO, team workspaces, and role-based access; unused monthly credits roll over while your subscription is active. Enterprise pricing is volume-based. Credits are consumed per AI message and scale with task complexity, so a multi-week MVP can burn through a few hundred credits — budget accordingly. The backend is opinionated around Supabase, which is convenient if that fits your stack and a constraint if it does not.
