AI Enabled

Disrupting software development forever.

Ian H Smith

AI Enabled means embracing the power of Artificial Intelligence to embrace Natural Language Processing (NLP), We apply this via a 4D Method: Discover, Design, Develop and Deploy. The outcome is Web apps, faster. This means cost savings in software licences and professional services of 80-90%. So it is significant.

Introducing Lovable

At Being Guided we are on a journey of continuous innovation and experimentation. From our extensive experience with Salesforce, as a pioneer of first generation Web apps, we have now embraced Lovable, the fastest-growing tech startup in Europe, generating over $20million in Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) in two months, with just 15 employees.

With our domain expertise in health and social care and plastics injection moulding, we are focusing on these two vertical industries first with our AI Enabled solutions for early adopter customers. This includes Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, where we currently manage over 75,000 patient appointments by integration CRM and electronic health records.

In practice, this starts with our AI Proof-of-Concepts, in exchange for highly affordable Engagement Fees and a clear roadmap towards production-ready Web apps, eliminating the high software licence costs and professional services fees of earlier generation IT offerings.

We have introduced four Design Principles that guide our work in digital innovation:

01. Fierce Reduction
02. Meaningful Journey
03. Progressive Disclosure
04. AI Enabled ... read on.

This blog post is an introduction to our fourth Design Principle: AI Enabled with Lovable: the world's fastest-growing AI Full Stack Engineer1. Lovable technology revolves around a a Large Language Model (LLM) and a Generative AI Framework (Claude 3.7 Sonnet), comprising:

Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Users input app requirements in plain text and the AI interprets these prompts to generate functional software. This relies on advanced NLP to parse intent and map it to code.

Full-Stack Code Generation
Frontend: Produces responsive interfaces using modern Frameworks like React, Tailwind CSS, and Vite, ensuring visually appealing and functional User Interfaces (UIs).

  • Frontend: Produces responsive interfaces using modern Frameworks such as React, Tailwind CSS, and Vite, ensuring visually appealing and functional User Interfaces (UIs).
  • Backend: Integrates with services like Supabase for databases and handles server-side logic, API creation, and data management.
  • Database: Automatically sets up and manages databases, likely leveraging cloud-based solutions for scalability.

AI-Driven Automation
The technology autonomously handles Discover, Design, Develop and Deliver phases of work, replicating the workflow of a human full-stack developer. It uses an AI-based engineer to ship complete Web apps.

Third-Party Integrations
Technology supports integration with tools such as GitHub for code storage and Supabase for database management.

Cloud-Based Infrastructure
Operates as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Platform, delivering apps via the cloud, which ensures accessibility and scalability without requiring local setup.

More About Lovable

Investors
Lovable has raised $15 million in a pre-Series A round in February 20252, following a €6.8 million pre-seed in October 2024. Key investors include:

  • Creandum: Led the pre-Series A round. General partner Fredrik Cassel praised Lovable’s user love, drawing parallels to Spotify (a prior Creandum investment)8.
  • Visionaries Club: Participated in the pre-Series A, signaling confidence in Lovable’s growth trajectory8.
  • Hummingbird Ventures and byFounders: Led the pre-seed round, providing early capital to fuel its rapid rise.
  • Angel Investors: Notable individuals include Charlie Songhurst (Meta board member), Adam D’Angelo (Quora cofounder), Thomas Wolf (Hugging Face cofounder), and Eric Bernhardsson (Modal founder), bringing tech and AI expertise to the cap table.

Customers
User Base: 500,000+ total users, with 30,000 paying customers as of early 2025. These range from solo entrepreneurs to teams building enterprise Web apps. Lovable has an edge over the early generation No-Code Platforms, like Bubble, due to code ownership and backend integration3.

Commentators
Analysts have praised the intutive User Interface (UI) and real-time previews versus other AI technologies, such as Bolt.new4. Further academic reviews have talked about the general benefits of moving towards Natural Language Processing (NLP) in AI-powered software development5, 6.

The concept of a 'Citizen Developer' - a non-programmer - has become a truly disruptive for with AI-powered software development and No-Code Platforms7.
