History

In 2023, Anton Osika developed "GPT Engineer" an open-source software that used large language models to code software applications. With Fabian Hedin, the pair then developed "GPT Engineer App" a commercialized version of GPT Engineer. In December 2024, Osika and Hedin renamed the app Lovable. [1]

In February 2025, Lovable raised a $200 million Series A led by Accel at a $1.8 billion valuation making it one of the fastest growing technology companies in Europe. [2] [3]

Security

In March 2025, a Replit employee discovered a security vulnerability in websites created with Lovable. The platform allows websites to connect to the Supabase database platform. Many websites did not correctly correctly configure access controls for their database, which made their contents public. Lovable responded by automatically checking websites for access controls, but this scan did not determine whether the access controls were correct. [4]
