How Lovable became a successful AI-powered app builder
Here is a look at Lovable, and how it became such a big company so quickly.
Lovable is essentially a company that offers an AI-powered app development platform, allowing users to build entire web applications using natural language prompts.
It was founded in November 2023 by Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin with an aim to democratise software development by enabling non-coders to turn their ideas into a reality.
The company shot to fame after creating something called GPT Engineer, an open-source tool that showcased the ability of large language models (LLMs) to write functional code from simple prompts. LLMs are trained on massive amounts of text data that can understand and generate human language.
Following the success of GPT Engineer, Loveable launched GPT Engineer.APP, which was meant to be used by non-technical users.
At the heart of Lovable's success lies its goal to allow anyone to create web apps with natural language, without the need to code. All one has to do is have a vision, and give instructions to the GPT Engineer.APP.
'The app eliminates the complexity of traditional app-creation environments by combining coding, deployment, and collaboration in a single interface,' according to a report by Contrary Research, a hub for research and analysis of private tech companies.
Users can build a wide range of products from simple websites to complex web apps with the help of Lovable.
Not only this, the company provides a user-friendly interference which has been a key in its success.

Volvo shifts gears, to offer both EVs & ICE models in India
Synopsis Volvo Cars India is adjusting its strategy, continuing to offer both electric and internal combustion engine vehicles due to slower EV adoption rates. This reverses their previous plan to go all-electric by the end of the decade. The company acknowledges varying EV adoption across regions and emphasizes the importance of government policies and charging infrastructure for EV growth. Agencies Volvo Cars will continue to introduce both electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in India, pivoting its earlier strategy of going all-electric amid slow customer adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs).The Swedish luxury carmaker had last year said it will henceforth sell only electric vehicles in India in its bid to have an all-electric portfolio by the turn of the decade. Volvo's strategy mirrors those of other global car makers like Jaguar Land Rover, and Mercedes Benz who are revising plans to have an all-electric product to ET, Jyoti Malhotra, managing director at Volvo Cars India said, globally too while the company intends to go all electric, timelines have now been pushed beyond 2030. 'The adoption rate (of electric vehicles) is different in different countries. And even within the country (in India), it's different across states,' said said government policies are crucial in deepening EV penetration in India, with states that have waived off road taxes seeing higher adoption rates among customers.'We will continue to drive in electric cars and have a launch lined up later this year itself. But at the same time, we will continue to focus on ICE,' said Malhotra. EVs currently contribute about 25% of Volvo's sales in India. The market for such eco-friendly luxury cars is however still small though it is growing, according to the company.'About a year back, EVs had started losing steam. We are seeing some uptick in the segment in the last six months. But customer needs are different across regions,' said Malhotra.'Home charging is extremely important for customer comfort when it comes to owning EVs. In cities, where there are high-rises, charging electric cars is challenging,' he said, adding Volvo is seeing stronger EV adoption in states like Kerala, Maharashtra, and Delhi where there are low-rises and state policies are conducive. He was speaking on the sidelines of the launch of the XC60 SUV model. Globally, Volvo does have plug-in hybrids in its portfolio, but Malhotra said the company will only consider launching them in India if the tax structures are more currently levies a Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate of 5% on EVs, and 43% on Malhotra said luxury car sales in India, which had been outpacing the broader car market in the last few years, slowed in the first half of 2025 as volatile stock markets, and mounting geopolitical tensions hit demand among the country's rich, aspirational buyers. He however added that Volvo is on track to meet its sales target for this calendar year though industry growth is likely to be muted. Per industry estimates, around 22,900 luxury cars were sold in the first half of 2025, a 1.8% rise from a year earlier. Separately, Malhotra termed free trade agreements being inked or negotiated by the Indian government as a step in the right direction, which will help to grow the auto industry in the long run.'The UK FTA has set a benchmark. While the one with the EU is still some time away, free trade agreements are good for the economy. India is seen as a market with growth potential. If any company were to invest in India today, they will only consider the scale available in the market here. With FTAs, the scale changes immediately as they open up access to many more markets globally,' he said, adding Volvo can also explore possibilities for expanding its footprint in India once the EU trade deal is finalised.

China is building the future of AI, not Silicon Valley, says Alibaba Cloud founder
Reuters Wang Jian, founder of Alibaba Cloud and director at Zhejiang Lab, said China is building the future of artificial intelligence (AI), not Silicon Valley. In an interview with Bloomberg, Wang said Chinese foundational AI models like Qwen and DeepSeek are much better than OpenAI's ChatGPT, adding that China is a testbed for new technology. 'Foundational models like Qwen and DeepSeek are much better than ChatGPT. So we really need to fund creative people to build applications for them. In terms of applications, we are heavily biased toward OpenAI, because everyone sees ChatGPT as the only application that can provide security,' he said. 'The Chinese market has a very important role in establishing new technology and making sure it is mature enough, positioning the country as a testbed of every new technology to get products to market,' he added. OpenAI vs Alibaba When asked about the stiff competition in the AI space, Wang said it's no less than a marathon for new players to enter the AI race, adding that healthy competition enables fast replication of the technology.'When people get together and it is not just for competition, whether you win or not, you can have a very fast iteration of the technology because of the competition.'Commenting on Silicon Valley's progress on building AI capabilities, he said just a single organisation, or individual, cannot go far in this journey. Additionally, he said that China is a country that benefits from a stable mindset. To make his point, Wang cited the example of Hangzhou, a city in China, claiming that one out of every four or five people there is a 'CEO.' Poaching war: Meta, OpenAI Wang also addressed the big pay packets being offered in Silicon Valley to hire AI to him, the driving force for any organisation should be innovation, not patents.'What's happening in Silicon Valley is not the winning formula. We need the right talent, not expensive talent,' he said.'When you are in the early stage of innovation, I don't think a patent is a problem because the only thing you need to do is to get the right person, not really an expensive person,' he added. ET reported recently that over a dozen staff at Mira Murati's AI startup, Thinking Machines Lab (TML), have been approached or offered jobs by Meta. This talent poaching follows a previous instance reported when Meta hired four AI researchers from OpenAI. The tech giant has bagged top talent from companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and GitHub, after top-level exits and a poor reception for its latest open-source Llama 4 model. Following the trend, the Sam Altman-led OpenAI also poached four top engineers from rival firms led by Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg last month.
