Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lovable?
Lovable is an AI-driven platform that allows users to build full-stack web applications using a chat interface. By describing what you want in natural language, Lovable generates and deploys functional applications, handling both the frontend and backend seamlessly.
How does Lovable work?
Users interact with a conversational AI to define their application's features and logic. Lovable uses advanced language models to understand the input and create the necessary code automatically—often within minutes. You can continue refining your app by chatting with the assistant.
Do I need coding experience to use it?
No. Lovable is built for both non-technical users and developers. You can describe what you want in plain English, and the platform will generate code and deploy the app. Developers can optionally sync code to GitHub for further customization.
Can I integrate third-party APIs?
Yes. Lovable supports integrations with third-party services like Stripe (for payments), Supabase (for backend/database), and others. These can be configured directly through the chat interface during development.
Does Lovable offer an API?
Lovable does not currently provide a public API to interact with the platform programmatically. However, you can add and use API keys inside your generated app to connect with external APIs like Stripe or custom services.
Can I export or host the app elsewhere?
Yes. Lovable allows GitHub integration so you can access and export the generated code. This gives you full ownership and lets you host the app wherever you like or continue development in your preferred stack.
Is Lovable production-ready?
Lovable can produce apps suitable for production, especially for MVPs and startups. However, for large-scale or security-critical apps, further manual refinement and testing may be required.
What stack or technologies does Lovable use?
Lovable combines large language models (from providers like OpenAI and Anthropic) with integrations such as Supabase for backend and Stripe for payments. It also supports GitHub for version control.
How is data privacy handled?
Lovable uses industry-standard practices for data handling and integrates with services that offer secure APIs. Code and project history can be kept private, and GitHub sync provides transparency and control over your application code.
