Lovable (formerly GPT Engineer) is a conversational AI app builder that turns text prompts into deployable full-stack web applications, including frontend UI, backend logic, database (Supabase/PostgreSQL), authentication, and API integrations. It targets non-technical founders, product managers, and early-stage teams who want to ship MVPs and prototypes quickly without writing code. It operates on a credit-based model and has become one of the leading 'vibe coding' platforms as of 2026. Key features: - Full-stack app generation from prompts: UI, backend, database, auth, and APIs - Native Supabase integration: PostgreSQL, authentication, real-time subscriptions, file storage, edge functions - Plan mode (1 credit/message) and Agent mode for more complex multi-step builds - In-chat refinement loop: iterate on the generated app by describing changes - Direct deployment from within the platform - GitHub sync for version control and collaboration
