Lazy Leverage

Imagine having a fully-functional website or landing page created in seconds, simply by transcribing your thoughts, turning it into a prompt, then hitting Enter.

Oh, and you don’t have to spend a cent to make it happen.

Now stop imagining. Enter Lovable, your “superhuman AI full stack engineer”.

Today, Jon gives us a brief, yet life-changing overview of Lovable as he helps Peter build a custom CRM in real time.

Jon walks us through just a few of the outputs that Lovable can make possible, from mortgage calculators to hiking trail apps–in multiple languages. We dive into how this breakthrough in AI is democratizing web development, making it possible for anyone to design and modify applications even without a coding background.

Jon and Peter also demonstrate how to connect your front-end with Airtable’s innovative back-end tools, and how to build upon your Lovable-built website with authentication and data storage architecture.

Whether you're adjusting UI elements, reimagining your website’s aesthetics, or starting a brand from scratch, Lovable’s reshaped the playing field for good. And all we need to start taking advantage of this opportunity is to embrace a little creativity and playfulness!
