Advantages of Lovable Cloud
You no longer need to manually register for separate database accounts (like Supabase or Firebase). Lovable Cloud automatically manages database connections and API keys internally.
AI Integration at No Extra Cost
This feature allows you to use AI functions within your application without needing to provide your own OpenAI API key, as it is already included in the Lovable subscription.
Perfect for Beginners
Very helpful for users who may not understand technical concepts like SQL databases or how to connect a frontend to a backend (middle-tier connection).

Step by Step
Building a Full-Stack Web App with Lovable Cloud
- Go to the Lovable website and log in to your account.
- Locate the AI chat input box on the main dashboard to start building.
- Enter a specific prompt for the application you want to build (e.g., Pomodoro timer with an authentication system).
- Click the 'Generate' button or press Enter to start the automated development process by the AI.
- Wait for the AI to simultaneously prepare the frontend structure, backend logic, and database schema.
- Click on the 'Cloud' tab in the navigation panel to view the automatically generated database.
- Review the generated tables, such as 'profiles' or app settings, in the database view.
- Test the application live in preview mode by registering a new account (Sign Up) to ensure authentication is working.
- Check the 'Analytics' section in the dashboard to monitor your application's usage.
