7 New Lovable Features You Didn’t Know Existed

Lovable is by far one of the fastest growing startups of all time and they're shipping so many impressive new features for AI coding that it's really hard to keep up. So, I spent the last 2 days going through every new feature they have so that you don't have to go through the change logs yourself. And I

can tell you right now, my mind was blown. So, today I thought I would show you the seven most impressive features that allow you to build your next money-making app. Let's dive in. So, this first one is for all you perfectionists out there, including myself. Trust me, as soon as it comes to

design things, I really want to tweak every little individual thing. I want this like that, that like this. Before you know it, you've burnt through like a thousand credits and honestly, sometimes you don't even get the results you're looking for. So, this most recent update is going to save you tokens and allow

you to get what you want from design. Now, the project I built here is a digital wealth advisor. Let's talk about these features. Now, underneath here, this is the big update. Now, up until now, we had this, which allows you to basically click on something and then uh select uh an area and then describe how

you would like it to be edited. Then, they added an additional thing, which is the text where you can adapt things. So, if I want an em dash killed like this, it would be super easy to do that, replace it by a comma. AI always wants to write with these darn em dashes. And

again, this was already inside the app, but this third one is the one that I really love and it's basically annotations. You can draw now on the design. So, if I wanted this entire section, for example, this entire part here to be Now, you see it automatically is going to convert that into a square. If I

wanted it to be centered, center aligned, I could draw something like this, which might not work correctly, and just say, "Okay, could we have the um title and subtitle um centered and be the main focus? I would like the CTA to then be underneath." You basically draw on it and you tell it

what you'd like to change and then you upload it and based on the picture that you just uploaded, probably a terrible picture, it will make those adaptations. So now it's actually taken that image and it's automatically uploaded it to be able to read it, view it, and then be able to adapt and make the changes that we've

asked for. So this is just another way to be incredibly clear with the edits you're asking for visually. And frankly, I think it's a game-changer. Now let's see how this actually interpreted this and see if it actually made the fix I wanted. Boom, and we come back and it's exactly what I asked for, literally. So

now we have this here, uh this underneath, and then we continue on with the landing page. So just a very practical way to get even more clear so you can save credits. Okay, Christian, but those were just design edits. Those are easy. Let's talk about some more hardcore stuff. Fair enough. So this

next one is the exact opposite of that because guess what? Your future customers, especially if they're businesses, are going to want to use apps they already use and they're going to want your tool to connect to those apps. And that's why this next release is super important. [music] You guessed it, it's lovable connectors. Since the

beginning of 2026, they've been slowly rolling out MCP connectors to all sorts of existing apps that you already use. And these connectors range from messaging apps to CRMs and pretty much every tool you can imagine is slowly being deployed as a native MCP. So if you hop back in here, you're going to

see that now at the bottom, right here, where the plus is, click on this and you're going to find connectors, as you can see. It literally starts scrolling through a bunch of different options, but if you click on this, you're going to be able to now find and connect [music] to your favorite apps. Now there

are a couple native ones like AI. All of these are already natively enabled, right? So you already have access to cloud, Superbase, AI, Stripe for payments, Shopify, and Paddle to set up payments uh with sort of tax handling as well. But, you have all of these other ones, and you can also search through

this full database. And as you can see here on the left-hand side, we [music] have e-commerce ones, we have others that are more focused on marketing, we have messaging apps. So, for example, I would probably connect it to my Telegram >> [music] >> and to Slack as well. We have productivity apps. So, for example, if

you use Google Drive or Gmail, these would be considered ones, but I also use Notion as a production database for my content, that would be great. Airtable, all-time favorite as well. Um also for sales tools. So, if you have a CRM like Pipedrive, for example, as you can see here, they also have

HubSpot, Granola for note-taking, same thing with Fireflies, which is the tool that I use for note-taking inside of sales calls, Google. So, it allows you to basically have your customers connect all of their tools inside of your app. Meaning that now you can create [music] a huge number of other use cases, which

before this you couldn't. And guess what? This now makes you available to more willing customers. Once you find one you like, you click on it simply, and it's going to basically ask you to add as connector here, add connection, and then you can have it inside of your app. But, you'll also notice that under

each one of these there's also a description of the kind of features that this can add. So, [music] for the example of Google Maps, you can have geocode addresses and reverse geocode coordinates, calculate routes, um and all sorts of other things as well. And honestly, in a world where you can pretty much build everything with

AI, I think that having industry knowledge is really where a lot of the magic lies. And these connectors is just huge for these kind of business use cases. But, once people actually build, they face the next frustration, which is finding customers. You see, up until now, when you build something inside Levelup, it looks beautiful, you can

read it, you understand exactly what it does. But, when Google's crawler or AI goes and searches through the platform, they actually don't get any results. And so SEO or GEO or AEO, which are different terms for basically search engine optimization and then the same thing for AI, it's pretty terrible. And so let me show you what they recently

shipped to solve this problem. But a quick side note, if you're trying to build an app, you're actually probably trying to build a money-generating business, right? And there's all these other things that go into it. Validation, making sure you're building the right thing, getting customers, and a number of other things as well,

including scaling your business after that. If you're interested in the whole process to make sure that you're building the right thing for the right person, increasing your chances of making money, I highly recommend that you go and check out our free playbook below. 100% free, breaks down every step so that you make sure you're building

something people want to pay for. Back to the video, check out this automated SEO play. You click here on this icon. It's pretty much going to start scanning your project and understanding exactly what you have to do so that you can show up not just in Google, but also in AI searches. It's a completely new feature.

It's here at the bottom, SEO and AI search. Once you click on that, it actually automatically does a scan of the project. Botta boom, botta boom. Don't know where that came from, probably my Italian last name. [music] Now, what we're going to see here is that it's pretty much created a bunch of

recommendations. And if you open each one of these up, you're going to see what's missing. So if it says structured data is missing for the brand and website, it's going to explain to you exactly how you can fix it, and you can try to fix it right here by clicking on this button. However, at the top right,

you can also just try to fix them all. This is something I would usually do towards the end of my build to make sure that it's properly set up to find people. It literally will allow some of your customers to find you without you doing any additional work. You literally just do this and click on try to fix it

all. Boom. But first let's make a deal right here. If there's any one of these that you didn't know about and they help you, you have to subscribe to my channel. Why? Cuz it literally just helps me create more free stuff for you guys. So actually it's for you. So yeah, subscribe. Okay, so now you have a

beautifully designed app. People get to it, they find it, [music] and then guess what? You built it in one way, they use it in a totally different way. There was a button and they triple clicked on it. They put their first name where their last name was supposed to be. Literally the way that your app was supposed to be

used is being used in the complete opposite way. But unless you actually know that, you're never able to improve that experience for your users. And unless this app is just for you to use, we're going to have to adapt to what the market wants. But in early 2026, they released a feature that allows you to

get this thing tested without it being just you testing it out. That way, you can identify early bugs and fix them before you send a bunch of people towards this website. But Christian, where does this live? I thought you'd never ask. Well, you actually didn't ask, but let me answer that anyway. You

see, Lovable now has browser testing and if you put in a prompt similar to this one, test the app in a browser and check that the main flows work, especially submitting a new request, go ahead and upload this and we're going to be able [music] to do just that. And just like that, it's going to come

up with what's working, what issues have been found, and what couldn't be tested yet. But because I didn't yet sign in to this app, I'm going to do that right now so it's able to do some of these additional steps here. Okay, I'm now logged in. Please test this out. Okay, now check this out. I love this.

It's actually showing you that it has a browser open now now that we're logged in to be able to go through this main workflow. It's tested everything before you're inside the app, but now it's showing you what a browser would actually test if someone was logged in. And again, it comes up with everything

that's working, everything that needs improvement and that we're now going to need to fix before we actually put it in front of anyone. And these often times are going to be things that [music] we have missed out when we're building it the first time. Now if you've launched software in the past, you know that this

used to be such a pain and usually it meant that the first 50 users in your app were just lost cases, right? You just brought them in there so they could test the actual basic functionalities of your app. It pretty much avoids a huge number of those and so for me that takes

a huge weight off of my shoulders. However, there's actually a second thing that frustrated me so much throughout the entire process of launching software. Now, for those of you who don't know this, there are usually a staging environment where we're building things, testing them out and then there is a production environment, which is

basically where we launch things live and it's very annoying to have to shift between both of these environments for testing's sake. [music] So, Lovable actually came up with a cool solution for this, too. Now, this happened in February 26th and it is our fourth feature here that we're going to be covering. The way they did this was

actually by just splitting it up into two different databases, one for testing and one for production. Now, inside of Lovable, this is not actually like a toggle that you move back and forth. If you go to the top right here, you're going to find publish. You click on publish and you actually continue to

actually publish it, now we're going to have a version of this that's already going to be live. >> [music] >> We're going to go ahead and publish it. Of course, there's all this stuff that we could adapt before that. We're not going to go into this. If I publish, now we have a version

that's going to be live on a server, which is going to be our production environment and within this preview here on the left-hand side, when you log into Lovable basically, you're going to be able to see the unpublished version. Allowing you to test out delicate features before you push them live. After a couple seconds, you see that

your app is now live and you can pretty much copy this. You can open up a new one and now you'll be able to see the live version of your app. Boom. So, now if we try to sign into this one, this is connected to a different server, which means that when I try to log in again, it's not just

going to log in, it's going to create a new account. Boom. And now it's asking me to go through this process again. But Christian, what about cybersecurity? This is the question people ask me literally every single time they're building with AI. And yes, this should be top of mind, especially when your customer is super conscious of this kind

of thing. They're not going to want to log in to any random app that doesn't have good security checks. And Lovable has actually made huge [music] strides in this direction. And prior to this release, it was literally something that you needed to have a cybersecurity person look into. Well, that is no longer the case, my

friends, cuz when you get back in here now, you click on publish, we're going to basically see that you can do a full security review. So, let's go ahead and click on this. And here we're going to be able to do a deep security scan. Let's give it a sec, see what it comes up with. And after

just a couple minutes here, what we see is that now we have some warnings. Check out this one. One, then there's also a second one down here. It even gives you information about it. And then I can either click on try to fix them all, or I can actually try fix them all from

here. Boom. And now it's going to help you fix yours. And so, this is really just a great feature when security is top of mind. I always recommend that you check this out and do this [music] security scan before you actually release any app. Okay, so you might have noticed that the last couple features were all

about fixing things when we run into problems. But, what if we could be a little bit more preventative? What if we could avoid those annoying, frustrating loops where you're trying to describe something and it really doesn't understand, you constantly have to circle back to the last version of the app? Well, there's actually a feature in

Lovable that does just that. If you come to the top left nav, you can click on settings. And here on the bottom left, we find knowledge. This was actually released in March 26th, and it has two main reasons. The first one is project knowledge. You know how you start a chat, and then when

you're deep into the chat, it starts forgetting things that you had given it earlier? Well, project knowledge is actually the context that you feed it that allows it to remember important things about your app so it doesn't stray away from that when you feed it a prompt towards the end of your build and

it doesn't break the whole thing. So, right inside this box here, you can describe the project, the tech stack, any specific guidelines about this project including who you're targeting and actual flows that you want like the full experience of your app. And this honestly helps a lot. You can actually build this out as part of your PRD,

which is product requirement document, before you even go in with the first prompt and it'll keep those things in mind once you're building. Now, the second thing and as you get more experienced with lovable, you might have certain things that come for every single project. That's exactly where workspace knowledge is important, right?

You can pretty much determine guidelines that it [music] can repeat over and over. Meaning that if you build one project and you have a similar way of working in another, then you can basically use that same workspace knowledge. So, these are things like coding style, naming conventions for specific things. Uh you probably have

specific language that you're using because you're specialist in this industry. There are certain things in the tech stack that you can also determine like the libraries you're using for UI/UX, for example, and anything that has to do with the tone of voice that you're using throughout the copywriting, stuff like that. Okay, so

all of those seven features should make it way easier for you to actually launch your app. But, if you're not building the right thing for your customers or if you don't know how to actually get paying customers, then you're still going to be just building something that's nice to have. So, if your goal is

to build a full business from scratch, I highly recommend you check out this video cuz I'm going to break down every step that I would do if I were you starting again this year. If you got any value, please subscribe. I'll see you in the next one. Let's go.
