In an era where AI is rapidly changing every industry and revolutionizing software development, Lovable, one of Europe's fastest-growing startups, has recently launched the newly upgraded Lovable 2.0, further advancing the development of Vibe Coding, a platform that allows people who don't know how to code to describe requirements in natural language and have code generated by AI. The platform allows people who don't know how to code to describe requirements in natural language and have code generated by AI, significantly lowering the barriers to software development.

What is Lovable?
Lovable is an AI-powered platform developed by a Swedish AI startup from an open source project called GPT-Engineer on GitHub. Developed by founder Anton Osika in 2023, its core concept is "Vibe Coding", which enables users with no programming experience to quickly build and deploy full-stack software products through a simple chat interface and natural language prompts. Since its official launch in November 2023, Lovable has seen phenomenal growth, with 500,000 monthly users and nearly 40,000 paid users, and a team of just 18 people, making it one of the fastest growing startups in Europe.
Core Upgrades for Lovable 2.0
Lovable 2.0 is positioned as an ambient coding platform for multiplayer collaboration and introduces a number of important upgrades:
1. Multi-player collaboration (Multiplayer)
Lovable 2.0 introduces the concept of workspaces, where each subscription plan is now tied to a workspace:
- Pro Subscription: Individual workspaces, where up to 2 collaborators can be invited to join a single project
- Teams Subscription: Support for up to 20 users to share workspace, with owners and administrators free to invite or remove users
- Shared Credit Pool: All users in a workspace share the same credit pool, suitable for a team of friends, startups or small businesses
With GitHub synchronization and permission management (owner, administrator, editor), Lovable supports real-time multiplayer editing and version control, similar to Git branch management.
2. Smarter chat mode agents
The new version of the Chat Mode Agent is based on Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.7 model, which achieves a 10x intelligence boost:
- Proxy design: autonomy in multi-step reasoning to decide whether to search files, check logs, or query databases
- Non-Code Editing Functions: Chat mode focuses on answering questions, planning the project and debugging without directly modifying the code
- multimodal support: Process natural language and visual input (e.g. image uploads) to generate front-end and back-end functionality
3. Security Scan
Lovable 2.0 integrates automated security checks before an application is published:
- Integrated Supabase Edge Function log analysis, automatic detection of SQL injection, authentication vulnerabilities and other risks
- When publishing an application (after connecting to Supabase), users can trigger a security scan by clicking "Publish".
- Lovable plans to roll out additional security features in the coming months to further enhance platform security
4. Development Mode (Dev Mode)
Users can edit project code directly within the Lovable platform for developers who need to fine tune their projects. This feature was introduced a few weeks before the update and has been widely praised by users, and Lovable 2.0 further optimizes its stability.
5. Visual editing and customized domain names
- Visualization Editor: Supports direct adjustment of styles (e.g., fills, layouts) without AI intervention, improving editing speed and accuracy
- Customized domain names: Built-in domain purchasing and connectivity with over 10,000 custom domains connected to the Lovable app as of April 2025
- One-Click Deployment: Support one-click deployment through Netlify or Vercel, lowering the threshold for deployment
6. New brand identity and UI
Lovable 2.0 adopts white UI and Shadcn design system, reflecting the concept of "ambient coding", taking into account the ease of use for non-programmers and flexibility for professional developers. Meanwhile, Lovable 2.0 has improved the history view, supports version control upgrade (Versioning 2.0), group editing by date (e.g. Google Docs), and supports saving/favoring stable versions.
Practical experience: simple and efficient
One user shared his experience with Lovable, "I uploaded a screenshot of a Gemini website in Lovable and it took about less than an hour to build a simple Gemini-like ChatBot page."
Lovable's interactions are very simple:
- Upload the image directly and then say what you want
- Or send the URL and tell it to clone a similar site
- In about 3 minutes, the first version of the page came out
If you want to modify the details:
- Click on the Edit button to directly select the page elements on the right side for visual editing
- If you want to change the code, Lovable is connected to GitHub, so you can bind an account and clone the code to make changes.
- If you want to connect to a backend, you can bundle with Supabase, a BaaS service.
- Once the whole site is done, tap publish to publish it with one click and bind it to your own domain name
A user also shared, "Coding vibes with @lovable_dev last night to make a simple web app that stores your precious memories with letters on postcards in 1.5 hours."
Pricing and Free Restrictions
Lovable 2.0 simplifies the pricing structure:
- free program::
- 10 edits per day (1 chat mode message = 1 edit mode message = 1 credit)
- Manual style or layout adjustments (no AI involved) do not consume credits
- The "AI Fix Error" button does not count against the limit, but manually prompting the AI to fix the error consumes credits
- Reset daily, no credit accumulation
- Pro Plan: Starts at $25/month and includes 100 credits/month, private project, removal of Lovable logo, custom domain, up to 3 editors per project
- Teams Program: Starts at $30/month and includes Pro Plan functionality, centralized billing and access management, up to 20 seats
- Customized Plans: Dedicated support, single sign-on (SSO) and data training exit options for organizations
Scenario: not just a programmer's tool
Lovable 2.0's collaboration, security and ease of use make it suitable for a wide range of scenarios:
- Startup Team Collaboration: Multi-user workspaces and shared credit pools support rapid MVP iteration (e.g. social apps, e-commerce platforms)
- Enterprise Prototyping: Digital marketing teams can generate interactive web pages with natural language cues, combined with customized domain names to enhance brand image
- Education and training: Students and non-technical users can learn front-end development, observe and debug AI-generated code through chat mode
- Rapid Prototyping: Community examples show that non-technical users developed small SaaS applications (e.g., PrintPigeon) using Lovable 2.0 in three days
As Garry Tan, the current CEO of YC, said in a CNBC interview, "About a quarter of companies are now using AI to write 951 TP3T or more of code. What that means for founders is you don't need a team of 50 or 100 engineers and don't have to raise as much financing." The barriers to entry for startups are becoming lower and lower.
Conclusion: The Future of Vibe Coding
"Not everyone wants to build complex products like Meituan, Taobao, or DDT." For most app-level startups, the most important thing early on is to validate the idea quickly, with structure before details. platforms like Lovable have matured to the point where they can help us get the product in shape before we go any further with the level of detail.
While many tech-savvy people may be skeptical of "ambient coding" as a way to generate complex software products, the success of Lovable proves that there is a huge market for this development model. Lovable 2.0 is certainly a tool worth trying for those who want to quickly turn ideas into products.
Whether you're a startup founder, a product manager, a designer, or a regular person with just an idea but no programming skills, Lovable 2.0 could be the ideal platform for you to bring your ideas to life.
