Lovable (formerly GPT Engineer) turns plain-English descriptions into deployable full-stack applications. Features visual drag-and-drop editing, Supabase database integration, GitHub sync, and one-click deployment to Vercel or Netlify. The fastest path from idea to working web app — no local dev environment required. Best suited for MVPs, prototypes, and client demos. Panel verdict: 2/3 Ship — impressive for rapid prototyping, but code quality degrades on complex apps.

v0 by Vercel generates production-ready React components from natural language prompts. It outputs shadcn/ui + Tailwind code that you can copy directly into your Next.js project. Supports visual input from Figma, screenshots, and sketches.
Reviewer scorecard
“Best MVP builder on the market right now. The Supabase integration means you get a real database, not just a frontend. GitHub sync seals the deal.”
“The code quality is surprisingly good — real shadcn components, not generic divs with inline styles. Saves me 2-3 hours per UI component.”
“The demos are impressive but dig deeper and you'll find spaghetti code, missing error handling, and no tests. Fine for demos, dangerous for production.”
“Does one thing extremely well: turning ideas into working UI. It won't replace a designer, but it eliminates the blank canvas problem.”
“I built a client project prototype in under an hour. They were blown away. Even if I rewrite the code later, the speed-to-wow is worth the subscription alone.”
“As a creator, I can now prototype landing pages in minutes instead of hours. The Figma-to-code flow is a game changer for my workflow.”
