- Replace names, numbers, and examples with your own. The specifics (prices, file limits, column names) are placeholders, not requirements.
- Run one prompt at a time. Review the result, then move to the next feature, as described in prompting best practices.
- For larger prompts, end with “Ask me any questions you need before building” or use plan mode to align on the approach first.
- Save decisions that should persist, such as your design direction and product context, to your project knowledge, so every later prompt builds on them automatically.
Design and style
Naming a style direction is the fastest way to escape the default-UI look, and it works in any prompt: while building a new feature, or as a standalone restyle. Pick a direction from the reference, use its keywords, and stay consistent across sections. The technique behind these prompts, including how to mix styles across a page, is covered in prompting best practices. To bring in a specific typeface, see custom fonts, and to build on your company’s own component library, see design systems.Design style reference

Not sure which direction to take? Lovable can present several concepts to choose from. See design guidance for how exploration works.Generate image assets
Lovable generates images for your app on request, and you can attach your own in chat. See adding images and videos.Reuse another project’s brand
Reference your other Lovable projects by name with @, as described in cross-project referencing.Accounts and access
Add user accounts
Lovable enables the built-in backend automatically and generates the pages, the wiring, and the data protection. More sign-in methods (phone, Apple, Microsoft, and SAML SSO) are covered in users and authentication.Add passwordless sign-in
Magic links and one-time codes are part of email sign-in.Add roles and permissions
Add a user settings page
Build an internal tool without a login page
Apps for your own team can recognize the signed-in workspace member, so nobody creates a separate account. See reuse Lovable workspace identity.Core app features

Build a dashboard
Add file uploads
Files live in your project’s Cloud storage.Add CSV import and export
Add a dark mode toggle
Make it update live
The built-in backend includes realtime, so shared views can stay in sync without refreshing.Create a reusable component set
Collaboration
Add team workspaces
Add notifications
Email users when something happens
App emails require a paid plan and a verified email domain. Alternatively, connect Resend to send through your own Resend account.
Add an activity feed
Payments
Built-in payments require a Pro plan or higher, and only project or workspace admins and owners can complete the provider setup Lovable starts. See add payments to your app for eligibility and setup details.
Add subscription tiers
Sell a one-time purchase
Connect other services
For third-party services, name the service in your prompt and Lovable walks you through connecting it. Each connector’s page covers setup and permissions, and the full list lives in the connector catalog.
If a service has no connector, Lovable can still integrate any REST API. Give it the base URL, the authentication method, and the endpoints you need, as described in connect any API.
Let AI assistants use your app
Connections also work in the other direction: your app can expose its own tools so AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude can use it. See agent integrations.Automation and admin
Add an admin analytics area
This prompt reports on your app’s own data. For visitor traffic, Lovable has built-in analytics with no prompting needed.Schedule a recurring job
Jobs run in your backend on a schedule (see scheduled jobs). This example sends email, which needs app email sending set up.Export to PDF
Add an audit log
Add feature flags
Add rate limiting
Offer an API with keys
Your app can serve its own API through edge functions.Run an A/B test
React to events
Backend logic runs in edge functions, so your app can respond to events such as webhooks and data changes.Tune the database
Lovable can inspect and optimize its own backend. See the database docs for policies, backups, and SQL access.AI features
These prompts use the built-in AI connector. You do not need an API key or a provider account.Add an AI assistant
Add AI writing help
Add semantic search
Generate images

Autofill forms with AI
Test, debug, and secure
Lovable can operate a real browser to verify your app’s flows, and review your code for security problems. Full details live in testing, browser testing, and security. For a structured approach to fixing bugs, see the debugging guide.Verify a flow in the browser
Reproduce and fix a bug
Run a security review
Publish and grow
Publishing, custom domains, SEO, and visitor analytics each have their own docs pages. From chat, Lovable can deploy your app, set up a custom domain, and polish how it appears in search results and link previews. After publishing, run an SEO review to check indexing, metadata, and performance on the live site.Publish from chat
Lovable asks for approval before deploying, unless you have set the publish tool to auto-approve, and you can request a specific subdomain.Get a domain from chat
Describe the kind of name you want and Lovable searches what’s available, with the price for each. If you already own the domain, ask it to connect that instead. Lovable always shows a confirmation card before it buys or connects a domain, and buying continues in checkout.Polish your site metadata
Write your own prompt
When no ready-made prompt fits, fill in this template. The more sections you complete, the closer the first result lands to what you had in mind. Skip any part that does not apply.
For style vocabulary (minimal, premium, playful, and more), use the style reference in the design and style section above. To build with ready-made components from a community library instead of describing every element, see use 21st.dev components in Lovable.
FAQ
Do I need API keys for these prompts?
Do I need API keys for these prompts?
No. Accounts, storage, payments, scheduled jobs, and AI features run on Lovable’s built-in backend and AI connector. Only third-party connectors (such as Resend or Twilio) ask you to connect an account during setup.
Can I run several prompts at once?
Can I run several prompts at once?
Run them one at a time. Each prompt builds on the app’s current state, and reviewing between steps keeps problems easy to trace and fix.
What if the result is not what I wanted?
What if the result is not what I wanted?
Restore a previous version from version history and re-prompt with more detail, or follow the debugging guide.
