AI makes it easier to build your own web applications, but handling sensitive data still requires special care. We examined 159,041 Lovable projects and found many cases where personal and confidential information was accessible without logging in.
Lovable is a Swedish AI startup founded in Stockholm in 2023 by Anton Osika and Fabian Hedin. The platform turns plain-language descriptions into web applications and is designed to be accessible even to people with little or no programming experience.
Lovable grew out of Osika’s open-source project “GPT Engineer”, released in 2023. The project evolved into the GPT Engineer App before being renamed Lovable in late 2024 and launching publicly that November.
