How to Use Lovable
Build software products with AI — no coding needed
Lovable is an AI app builder that turns a plain-English description into a working full-stack React app, with a real database via its native Supabase integration.
Step 1: Describe your app
Type a prompt describing the web app you want, and Lovable generates a working full-stack project from that description, not just a static mockup.
Step 2: Refine with chat
Describe changes in follow-up messages — "add user authentication", "change the color scheme" — and Lovable edits the actual codebase to match.
Step 3: Connect Supabase for a real backend
Lovable's native Supabase integration gives your generated app a real database, authentication, and storage, rather than leaving you with mock data to replace later.
Step 4: Edit the code directly
Lovable shows you the actual generated code, so you or a developer can hand-edit anything the AI didn't get exactly right instead of only being able to re-prompt.
Step 5: Publish
A built-in publish button takes your app live on a Lovable-hosted URL, or you can connect a custom domain to it.
Where it bites
Like most AI app builders, usage is metered by credits per prompt and edit. Complex apps built through many iterative back-and-forth messages can consume a plan's monthly credits well before the app is actually finished.
