Why the Question Keeps Coming Up

When people first hear about AgentOne, one of the most common questions is: “Is it like Lovable?”

At first glance, the comparison makes sense. Both AgentOne and Lovable can generate applications from Figma files. Both promise to accelerate development and make it more accessible.

But that’s where the similarity ends.

Where Lovable Shines

Lovable is a strong platform for its intended use case: startups and creators building minimum viable products (MVPs).

  • Ideal for rapid MVP development

  • Designed for individuals and small teams

  • Relies on cloud hosting through services like Supabase, GitHub, and Vercel

  • Requires projects to be created within Lovable’s closed system

For small-scale innovation, it’s a helpful tool.

Where AgentOne Is Powerful and Different

AgentOne was designed from the ground up for the enterprise universe. That means handling massive complexity, working within regulated industries, and scaling across global organizations.

Key differentiators include:

  • Scale: Can ingest existing codebases — even 500K–2M lines of legacy and new code. Lovable cannot.

  • Deployment Flexibility: Runs fully offline, on-premises, or in private cloud environments.

  • Enterprise Workflow: Orchestrates multi-repository, multi-agent workflows inside VS Code.

  • Compliance and Security: Security reviews, documentation, and compliance support are built in by default.

  • Openness: Unlike Lovable’s closed system, AgentOne integrates seamlessly with existing environments.

This isn’t theoretical. At Iterate, even our UX designers are using AgentOne to build real, production-ready apps. In just two weeks, two designers (not full-stack engineers) created 65 functional applications starting from Figma — with no need to write traditional application logic.

Bottom Line

  • Lovable = individual speed.

  • AgentOne = enterprise strength.

AgentOne combines the usability that makes tools like Lovable appealing with the scale, privacy, and compliance enterprises demand.

AgentOne has been generating significant interest from industry leaders. At our most recent webinar, we saw registrations from executives at companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, United Airlines, Foot Locker, RE/MAX, The Motley Fool, Blackstone, UCHealth, Rippling, and Nielsen — even Chamath Palihapitiya of the All-In Podcast.

That level of attention reflects the market’s hunger for enterprise-ready AI coding agents.

FAQ

Q: Can Lovable handle enterprise-scale codebases?
A: No. Lovable was designed for rapid MVP creation by individuals and startups. It cannot ingest or manage massive enterprise codebases (500K–2M lines). AgentOne can.

Q: Is Lovable secure enough for regulated industries?
A: Lovable relies on cloud hosting (Supabase, GitHub, Vercel). For banks, insurers, and healthcare providers, that’s a non-starter. AgentOne runs on-premises, in private cloud, or fully offline — with compliance and security built in.

Q: Can non-engineers use AgentOne?
A: Yes. AgentOne was designed to empower both technical teams and non-technical roles like UX designers. At Iterate, two designers created 65 production-ready apps in two weeks — starting from Figma, without writing traditional code.
