Lovable
Lovable was founded in Stockholm in 2023 by Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin under the name "GPT Engineer App," rebranded to Lovable in December 2024, and achieved unicorn status ($1.8 billion valuation) in July 2025 after raising $200 million Series A. By December 2025 it had raised an additional $330 million at a $6.6 billion valuation and was approaching 8 million users. The platform lets you describe an application in chat, watch a live preview update in real time, and push the generated code to a GitHub repository with one click. Technically it generates React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS applications with Supabase as the backend (authentication and database). You can refine the app iteratively — connect Figma designs, describe UI tweaks, or add integrations like Stripe and Resend. For biology students, Lovable shines at building shareable tools: a lab results visualizer, a gene expression dashboard, or a booking form — and the resulting code is portable.
