- Lovable BlogHow we built Lovable, and why we keep rebuilding it
Lovable's founder recounts how the platform evolved from the 2023 GPT Engineer project into a product where users have created more than 70 million projects, repeatedly reinventing its agent design—from complex async subagents back to a predictable tool chain, then to "knowledge files" with retrieval instead of fine-tuning. He describes stateful sandboxes that keep development servers running for faster edit-check cycles and a framework called Camille for forking and merging entire running computers. He closes with three open problems: automating the full software lifecycle, making all types of software seamless to build, and building a better software stack.
