A few weekends ago Lovable was available for free to everyone to build anything they wanted. I tested it with the concept I am am developing as part of next year's product roadmap. To get a user interface design to the point where its good enough to get feedback traditionally takes weeks and months. The process is tiring and friction-prone. There are too many opinions and not enough data that leads to sub-optimal outcomes, even with rather mundane features. This is a complex multi-feature thing with a lot of UI components.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I started, giving Lovable a summary of my concept. In a couple of hours in which I also finished cooking dinner while the AI worked per my instructions, I had a fully clickable prototype that was good enough review with users. There are no novel elements in what I had asked for. Just putting things together a certain way to solve a specific problem. Nothing others have not done million times before. The fact that I got from start to a logical point this fast and this painlessly left me in awe. Getting from here to building something that will be enterprise grade is still a distance but the time saved from concept to a visual representation of that concept that users can react and respond to is absolutely fantastic
