WHO IT’S FOR
Nothing off the shelf fits the problem on the floor.
Quotes take weeks, and every change costs more.
You hear AI can build apps — but where do you begin?
You want builders in-house, but no one to teach them.
WHAT IS LOVABLE
Lovable is an AI app builder from Sweden. Describe what you need in plain language, and the AI writes the screens and the code — and turns them into a working app on the spot.
The AI app-building platform the world is watching.
$100M ARR in just 8 months.World’s fastest
Lovable reached $100M in annual recurring revenue about eight months after launching in November 2024 (company figure).
Partnerships with the big platforms are growing too. In June 2026 it expanded its Google Cloud partnership, and in September it announced a partnership with Microsoft: apps can run inside a company’s own Microsoft tenant, managed by IT (in preview).As of October 2026. Figures from Lovable’s announcements and press coverage.
In the chat, in your own words. “I need a screen like this.” “Fix that.”
Screens, where the data lives, the logic behind them: the AI writes the code.
Use what it made right away, say what to change, and repeat — dozens of times.
One click gives it a URL, for your team or for your customers.
“Vibe coding” means describing what you want in words and letting AI write the code.
But most tools stop at the screen. Storing data, logins and the logic behind the scenes still need an engineer.
Lovable builds all of that in the same conversation: full-stack vibe coding.
| What we compare | Ordinary vibe coding | Full-stack vibe codingLovable |
|---|---|---|
| How far it goes | The screen — how it looks | From the screen to the database, logins and the logic behind them |
| What you end up with | A mock-up or a demo | An app for daily work, or a service for your customers |
| Data | A place to store it has to be set up separately | Saved in a database, ready to search and total up |
| Logins and permissions | Usually none | Decide per person what they can see and do |
| Integrations and AI | An engineer builds them separately | API connections to other services and built-in AI, in the same conversation |
| Publishing | A server has to be prepared separately | One click gives it a URL |
“Full stack” means both the part you see (the front end) and the part you don’t (the back end). This is the way of building you learn with our support.
Screens that fit desktop and phone, described in words.
Store and search jobs, customers, anything.
Who sees what, person by person.
Upload and keep PDFs and photos.
Reading, summarising, sorting, drafting, answering.
Link to your current systems and chat through APIs.
Bookings and fees, paid on the spot.
Published on your own URL, inside or outside the company.
What it produces is real code. The code can live in GitHub and keeps running outside Lovable.
WHAT YOU CAN BUILD
Lovable builds far more than forms and lists. It can put AI to work, connect the systems you already use, hand tasks to AI agents, and reach your customers.
LEVEL 01
Work that ran on Excel, paper and email — in one app.
LEVEL 02
AI reads, summarises and drafts. People check and decide.
LEVEL 03
Scattered data in one place. The tools you know stay as they are.
LEVEL 04
AI agents look things up, decide and act on their own. People check at the points that matter.
LEVEL 05
From an internal tool to a service your customers use.
LEVEL 06
Launch a new service in weeks, not months.
Connecting outside services, designing permissions, checking security.
The parts that are hard with Lovable alone are the parts we cross together.
All screens are examples (shown in Japanese).
COMPARE
Every approach has its strengths. In the first conversation we will tell you plainly if Lovable is not the right choice.
| Compared | Lovable + coaching | Outsourced development | No-code tools | Excel and spreadsheets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First working version | In days | In months | In weeks | Right away |
| When you want a change | On the spot | Starts with a quote | Within the settings | Yourself |
| Range of what’s possible | Wide | Wide | Within the tool | Narrow |
| What stays in-house | The code, and people who can build | The deliverable | The settings | The file |
| Best suited to | Apps shaped to your own work | Large or core systems | Standard workflows | Personal tasks |
SAFETY
ACCESS
An app you build doesn’t have to be open to everyone. You can limit who can use it, to fit what it’s for.
| Who can open it | Your staff | Invited partners | Outsiders with the link |
|---|---|---|---|
| RecommendedYour organisation onlyFor internal tools and business apps | Allowed | Blocked | Blocked |
| Selected people onlyFor portals you share with partners | Selected | Allowed | Blocked |
| AnyoneFor public websites | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed |
+ Sign in with your company account (SSO)Have people sign in with their Microsoft or Google Workspace work account, and only those with your company email address get in. When someone leaves or changes role, switching off their account on your side locks them out straight away.
Limiting who can open an app is a feature of Lovable’s Business plan and above. We decide together which approach fits, based on who will use it and what data it handles.
HOW IT WORKS
On a regular rhythm, screens side by side, hands on the keyboard together. Not a lecture you forget: you learn by building.
Not an exercise but an app you’ll use tomorrow. Ship small, use it on the floor, improve as you go.
The code and the know-how are yours. In the end you can fix it without me, and I let go.
First session
How Lovable works, how to use it, and how to ask the AI.
Build a real app together, learning how a system fits together, from screens to data, as you go.
Decide what you want to build and the homework that moves it forward.
From the second session
How did it go on the floor?
Side by side, on to the next feature. Get unstuck on the spot.
Set the homework you’ll carry on with.
Between sessions, ask anything in chat.
Decide what to build and put it in people’s hands.
Start using it, listen, and refine.
You fix it yourselves and build what comes next.

FAQ
Yes. With Lovable, describing what you need in plain language turns into a working screen. What it takes is knowing the work, not the code — and you already have that.
Sign-in and permissions, databases, AI, AI agents that take on tasks, connections to outside services, even payments — from internal tools to services for your customers. What it isn’t suited to, such as replacing core systems wholesale, we tell you in the first conversation.
We design where the data lives and who can access it from the start, and check it together before launch. Lovable has a built-in security scan that runs automatically when you publish. On top of that, we go through Karhu Lab’s own checklist, and if needed we can put you in touch with an outside security specialist for an independent review.
A certification from Lovable’s official partner program for people who build websites, business apps and internal tools for clients. Using Lovable is not enough: it is granted based on projects actually built and a formal certification process.Certified experts are listed in Lovable’s Partner Directory.
Yes. Separate from the coaching fee, your company subscribes to Lovable. We recommend the Business plan, from about US$50 a month (around US$42 a month billed annually). It adds what work use needs, such as single sign-on (SSO) and opting out of your data being used for AI training. The cost depends on how much you use it and Lovable may change its prices, so we check the current figures together before you subscribe (as of October 2026).
That is the point of the programme. The code stays yours, and if you like, an advisory retainer keeps a line open for questions.
The code stays yours in GitHub, so the app keeps running outside Lovable.
The difference is less the tool than the person beside you. Working out what to build, getting unstuck, checking before launch — we do it together, so the work doesn’t stall.
Ask us. The goal is building in-house, so we choose the tool that fits your environment together.
