    Overview

    Lovable is a prompt-based app builder. You describe the screens and behaviour you want in plain language, and it generates a working web application with a visual preview. The project can be edited through further prompts or directly in code, and it supports connecting to external services for data and authentication. It suits founders, designers and non-developers who want to test an app idea quickly, and developers who want a fast starting point to refine. It is less suited to complex systems with strict architecture requirements, and generated code often needs manual review and cleanup. Usage is metered, so heavy iteration can use up a plan's allowance. A free tier is available for trying the builder.
