    Hey everyone, it's Christian. 0:09
    I'm here to introduce another tool to help in your development. 0:11
    So even if you have no coding experience, there's no problem. 0:14
    I'm here to introduce lovable.dev. 0:18
    This is another AI powered platform that lets you turn 0:21
    your ideas into web application with just plain English. 0:24
    Whether you're an entrepreneur or a creative collaborator, 0:28
    lovable.dev really does bring your digital dreams to life with just a simple prompt. 0:32
    You may be asking what is Lovable? 0:38
    You can think of Lovable as a AI Full Stack Engineer which basically converts 0:40
    all your natural language descriptions into a working application instantly, 0:45
    such as build me an app that records my journal entries. 0:50
    It will build a full-featured app that does this, that if features a chat based 0:53
    interface where you can describe what you want to build and 0:57
    see immediate visual previews of your changes. 1:00
    The core features of Lovable is that it will generate text to web app with 1:03
    responsive designs. 1:07
    It also has a direct Supabase integration, 1:09
    which is their preferred database and authentication service. 1:12
    It even has GitHub synchronization for version control. 1:17
    You can select and edit functionalities for precise modifications. 1:21
    So those are its core capabilities. 1:25
    Now how does the development process look like? 1:27
    Step one, 1:29
    I would start with a natural language description as I mentioned before. 1:30
    Once you type that in, you'll go directly to step two which is watching a real time 1:33
    preview generation of Lovable, building your full-stack app, and then three, 1:38
    once it's done generating that preview, you can refine through 1:42
    the chat interface and then that moves on to step four, your deployment. 1:45
    Once you're happy with what you have with Lovable, deploy it with one click, 1:49
    that's it. 1:54
    That's the deployment process using Lovable. 1:55
    Now, some of the best practices that we want to make sure that you know for 1:57
    setting up Lovable is always begin with authentication configuration. 2:01
    If you have a custom knowledge base, 2:06
    put that into the Lovable files that will tell Lovable to follow these guidelines. 2:08
    Start with broad prompts and then refine incrementally. 2:12
    You don't want to be too specific or too broad. 2:17
    You want just the perfect balance of being broad enough so 2:19
    that you can refine as Lovable learns what you're actually asking it to do. 2:22
    Some other tips is, using the select tool for precise component editing, 2:26
    leveraging Supabase for backend features. 2:31
    Remember, Supabase is your database for storing all your data. 2:33
    Now that we're kind of giving you pretty project tips and development tips, 2:37
    what are some practical applications that you can use Lovable to develop? 2:41
    Here are some ideas. 2:45
    Building landing pages, building MVPs, and building full-stack applications. 2:46
    If you don't know what any of these means, don't worry. 2:52
    Our future content will describe these for you. 2:55
    Now remember, Lovable is a AI featured tool. 2:58
    It is here to make coding accessible for folks that do not know how to code. 3:02
    With over 140,000 users already building applications, it's proving 3:07
    to be 20 times faster than traditional methods for developing applications. 3:12
    So now's the time to join this revolution of programmers and developers. 3:18
    Start your journey at lovable.dev and join their active Discord community. 3:22
    This gives you the opportunity to connect with other builders, share props, 3:28
    share what you've generated, and also maybe recruit a fellow builder to join 3:32
    you on your journey of becoming an app developer. 3:37
    Whether you're creating a simple landing page or complex full-stack applications, 3:40
    lovable.dev is ready to turn your idea into a workable MVP. 3:45
