GPT Engineer is now Lovable
GPT Engineer was an AI software engineer that evolved into Lovable. Lovable lets you chat to build real websites & web apps, and collaborate on interactive prototypes.
Our Origins
In mid 2023, before code generation was mainstream, we created gpt-engineer - an open source project exploring how AI could help build software. It became the fastest growing code repository on GitHub to date, and today has over 50,000 stars.
The Evolution
After gpt-engineer blew up, we wanted to make it more accessible, since the open source tool is meant for developers using their terminal. Therefore we built a commercial web version called gptengineer.app, meant to be used by non-technical users. Around the same time in late 2023, we founded Lovable to tackle the larger mission of creating the last piece of software (software that creates other software).
Note: gpt-engineer refers to the open source command-line tool available on GitHub. gptengineer.app (often written as GPT Engineer) was our commercial web platform, which has now been rebranded as Lovable, to avoid confusion between the two.
Why Lovable?
The name Lovable reflects our mission to make using and building software a more enjoyable experience. While gpt-engineer focused on creating a toolkit for developers to experiment and develop codegen, Lovable expands this vision to create a complete platform for building and deploying software through natural conversation.
For our users of gptengineer.app
If you're coming from gptengineer.app, your projects and deployments remain unchanged. The only thing that changed was the domain and the branding of our platform. You will have to login again, but can continue to use your existing credentials. Your deployed sites are now also available on lovable.app, in addition to the existing gptengineer.run domain. (We will keep both domains around)
Open Source Legacy
The open source gpt-engineer project continues to have users on GitHub. While Lovable is a for-profit company, gpt-engineer remains a valuable open source tool for the community to explore and experiment with AI-assisted software development.
