How to build your first app with Lovable AI in 10 minutes

A 10-minute path from a blank prompt to a deployed app — the same flow most builders in this community use.

  1. 1. Describe the app. Open Lovable and write a one-paragraph prompt: what it does, who uses it, and a key screen. Specifics beat adjectives.
  2. 2. Iterate on the first screen. Lovable scaffolds the project. Refine layout, copy and colors in plain English until the home screen feels right.
  3. 3. Add data. Enable Lovable Cloud to get a database, auth and storage. Ask Lovable to create the tables and CRUD UI for your core model.
  4. 4. Add AI. Use Lovable AI for generation, summarization or classification — no API keys to manage.
  5. 5. Polish. Tighten empty states, loading skeletons, and mobile layout. Ask for accessibility fixes.
  6. 6. Publish. Click Publish, share the live URL, and post it in the Showcase for feedback.
