Lovable builds an AI platform that turns natural-language prompts into functional web applications, allowing users without technical skills to create software. Founded in November 2023 by Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin, the company works across large language models, AI code generation, natural language to code, and software development automation. Its stated ambition is to democratise software creation; the company frames its work against the observation that fewer than 1% of the world's population can code.
The company's origins lie in open source. In mid-2023, while working at Depict, Anton Osika developed GPT Engineer, a tool demonstrating that large language models could write functional code from simple prompts. It became one of the fastest-growing GitHub repositories at the time. The commercial product, originally known as GPT Engineer App, was rebranded to Lovable in December 2024 and is described by the company as a comprehensive platform for transforming ideas into web applications.
Technical work at Lovable spans AI code generation, web application development and open-source software. The company describes its mission in broad terms: unlocking human creativity on an unprecedented scale and building "the last piece of software". Further details on funding, team size and geographic presence are not disclosed here.
