What Lovable does

Lovable is an AI app builder: you describe a website or web app in plain language and it writes working full-stack software while you watch, then lets you refine it by chatting. It handles hosting, SSL, backend, authentication and payments, connects to tools you already use, and supports custom domains on paid plans. You own the code and data. Plans are priced by shared credits rather than seats, so whole teams can build in one workspace.
