5What Lovable is, how prompting works, and how to get a first app on screen.
Prompt library
5mThis page provides ready-to-use prompts you can copy and paste into your Lovable project chat to build common app features. These prompts work with Lovable's built-in backend and don't require external setup unless specified.
Prompting best practices
30mTo get the best results from Lovable, plan your features, build your app in small pieces, use real words, and describe the visual style using buzzwords. This helps Lovable understand exactly what you want and build it correctly the first time.
Quick start
10mThis guide shows you how to quickly build and publish your first app with Lovable, taking your idea from a simple description to a live website you can share. You don't need to install anything; just describe what you want, and Lovable builds it for you.
Welcome to Lovable
10mLovable is a platform where you describe the app you want to build using plain language, and it creates the working app for you. It handles everything from the app's look to its behind-the-scenes functions and database, giving you real code you can change.
Work with Lovable in the project chat
5mThe project chat is where you tell Lovable what to build, discuss ideas, or plan features for your app. You can type or speak your requests, attach files, and guide Lovable as it works.
Building the app
20Editing, components, design, files, and the day-to-day of making changes.
AI features for your app
5mLovable has a built-in AI connector that lets you add AI features like chatbots, summaries, and image generation to your app without needing API keys or complex setup. You just describe what you want, and Lovable handles the technical details.
Bring Figma designs into Lovable
10mYou can bring your Figma designs into Lovable in three ways: using a Figma plugin, connecting through the Figma MCP, or uploading a .fig file. Each method helps Lovable understand your design details to build your app accurately.

5mYou can connect your Lovable project to a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account to automatically back up your code and work with it outside Lovable.
