Lovable just raised $400M at a $13.3B valuation to build the business that helps build businesses. Apps built on Lovable now get 900M visits every month, and we’ve quadrupled ARR in the last 12 months. Since we started, Lovable has become the place where founders create million dollar businesses, business leaders spin up new product lines, and people inside companies rewire workflows and build tools that fit their exact needs, typically at a fraction of what software used to cost. There’s a lot more to do. We will create the most intuitive platform to build and run a business. That means: - Understanding what success looks like for you, then helping you achieve it. Not only ensuring your software works but also that you can attract customers, improve workflows, and grow your company. - Deeper integrations that work with your existing tech stack so you can build the interface to your entire business across sales, ops, marketing, finance, etc. - Becoming the safest platform to build and run your business on, which means secured code by default and that you get help to make safe decisions. As you build, the platform carries more of the security weight, spotting risks and helping you close them, so you can move fast without needing to become a security expert. - Staying model-independent and orchestrating the best models for every task so you don’t have to. We’ll continue to absorb the complexity of evaluating and teaching models to route to the best ones in the background, to minimize cognitive load for our users. As more people depend on Lovable, the quality standards our team is driving increase every single day. We’re growing the team with people with a founder mindset: curious, ambitious, and who think end to end. Model training, product geniuses, infrastructure tinkerers, and security are the priority. The world is full of ambitious people with deep knowledge of problems worth solving. Very few of them have historically had the power to act on them. Our ambition is to give people that power, and then help them achieve more than they thought possible. Thank you to everyone who has followed along our journey. Thank you to Menlo Ventures for leading, the Scaleup Europe Fund (managed by EQT Group) for co-leading, and all of the new and returning investors who recognize our global ambitions and will help make them a reality. We have made a lot of progress but we are nowhere close to done, it’s still day zero. See our blog:

Introducing Lovable for more general tasks. Lovable has always been for building apps. Today it also becomes your data scientist, your business analyst, your deck builder, and your marketing assistant. This is a big step toward what Lovable is becoming: a general-purpose co-founder that can do anything. See examples below.

The below video is real. No cuts. Founders + CTOs use this, and comapre it to Cursor + Claude Artifacts but prefer it because: - you can edit the code in your favorite IDE (two-way github sync) - automatically knows what npm package to use - picks up errors and fixes them - fast (built with rust)

👶🤖 Introducing `gpt-engineer` ▸ One prompt generates a codebase ▸ Asks clarifying questions ▸ Generates technical spec ▸ Writes all necessary code ▸ Easy to add your own reasoning steps, modify, and experiment ▸ open source: ▸ Lets you finish a coding project in minutes. swyx scooped me on releasing first ❤️ – similarities to smol but many new innovations, check README. Next, make it bootstrap. Which means: A "gpt engineer" prompt should generate all functionality of the gpt-engineer repo itself.

Four guys built and sold a company with Lovable in 20 hours, here’s how: 1. Raised €6k+ in sponsorships from OpenAI, V7, Cluely and Recurse ML 2. Built LeadFlare, an AI agent that sources and contacts high-value leads. 3. Identified Revel as a buyer and tailored the product to them. 4. Incorporated the company in the UK. 5. Revel’s team literally flew to Stockholm to meet them. 6. Signed the deal: acquired for $20,000 same day. This is probably the coolest thing I've seen done with Lovable so far.

Today we're making Lovable apps discoverable by search engines and AI, including the ability to chat with Semrush SEO data in Lovable. We’re doing this to give people using Lovable an unfair advantage when starting a business. Because building is just the beginning, and getting users to your app should be as easy as creating it.

GPT Engineer app (<- different from CLI) lets backend devs - connect to frontend codebase (on github) - add openapi of the backend - ask for complex frontned changes, get instant previews, which use github codebase as single source of truth example shared in our discord by Kristian Kyvik
