Lovable

Visual AI builder. Describe your app, watch it appear. Great for designers and non-technical founders.

In plain English

Like working with a designer who can also code. You sketch your idea in words, they build it beautifully. If you don't like something, just tell them to change it.

Real-world example

You're a designer who wants to build a portfolio site. You describe the layout, the sections, the vibe. Lovable builds it with real components you can customize, and deploys it for you.

Where this fits in your project

This is your visual prototyping tool. Great for design-minded builders.
