In this engaging episode of "UX for AI," listeners are taken on an exploratory journey through the diverse ecosystem of applications built using the Lovable platform. The host begins by sharing their personal experience with Lovable, expressing enthusiasm about their initial interactions while acknowledging they haven't yet fully committed to the paid subscription. This episode doesn't focus on the platform itself but rather on the fascinating array of products created with it.

The host methodically walks through dozens of applications featured on Lovable's launch page, providing insightful commentary on each. From healthcare innovations like Doctor Lens AI, which offers advanced skin analysis and detection, to financial tools such as "Debt Free," a comprehensive debt management platform, the range of applications showcases the versatility of the Lovable development environment.

Among the notable mentions are variant tracking systems for inventory management, workflow optimization tools, and even humorous applications like the "Critical Protocol" suite that offers office-friendly joke generators and passive-aggressive workplace sticker creators. The diversity continues with practical utilities like "Croc Show," which transforms natural language into powerful shell commands, and "Rapid Design," which analyzes WhatsApp chat exports to provide visual insights into conversation patterns.

The host gives special attention to several standout applications. "Fabula," an AI storyteller that creates personalized stories for children, receives particular praise. Similarly, the "Coloring Creator," which generates custom coloring pages for kids using AI, is highlighted as having genuine practical value for families looking to save money on children's activities.

E-commerce solutions also feature prominently, with one application promising to reduce development time from months to weeks by providing a comprehensive system including user roles, product management, and payment processing functionality. The host compares this favorably to established platforms like Shopify.

Throughout the episode, the speaker maintains a balanced perspective, acknowledging when ideas seem particularly innovative or commercially viable while also noting when others appear to be more experimental in nature. They observe that many creators seem to be using these projects as learning opportunities rather than pursuing immediate commercial success.

The podcast concludes with the host encouraging listeners to visit Lovable's launch page to explore these applications firsthand and gain inspiration for their own projects. They emphasize the importance of experimentation, noting that finding a truly exceptional idea often requires multiple attempts. The host promises future episodes will continue to showcase their own experiments with the platform.

This episode serves as both a showcase of current trends in AI-powered application development and a practical demonstration of what's possible using the Lovable platform. For developers, designers, and product managers interested in the intersection of user experience and artificial intelligence, the episode provides valuable insights into where innovation is happening and how new tools are enabling faster, more creative development processes.

The final message encourages listeners to embrace experimentation, try different approaches, and discover which applications might work best for their specific needs—a philosophy that appears central to both the podcast's ethos and the Lovable platform itself.

Welcome to UX for AI. In this short episode, you can either listen or watch it on Spotify. Let's dive in.

00;00;12;21 - 00;00;44;04
Speaker 2
I've been playing with lovable for the past days and I have created a bunch of projects. So far, my experience with lovable is amazing, but I don't want to give you my opinion before I subscribe to it and actually use it. I have so far two projects that I've been building, but I need to give the platform a justice, hop on the paid version and actually build a project builder and app potential.

00;00;44;07 - 00;01;19;29
Speaker 2
So. But the reason for this episode is not about lovable platform itself. It's about the prod projects and products that have been shipped with lovable. Recently, there is a launch page on lovable website that lists all these applications, and some of them are really fascinating. So I want to go through, as many of them read out loud what they do.

00;01;19;29 - 00;01;48;23
Speaker 2
Give you my take. This is where the collective brain of humanity goes. This is what we want to build. It's a very fascinating observation. So the first one is Doctor Lens AI advanced AI powered skin analysis and detections. What it does, it does analyze your skin and tell you about, yeah. Quirks and irregularities on your skin. Interesting.

00;01;48;23 - 00;02;17;16
Speaker 2
Very niche. Second one is variant to track your store and track. All. Your variant is in one place with smart alerts to keep you covered. Also very niche. I wonder who built this for what company ranked tracker is the best way to turn mist variants into real savings? Workflow Management System is the third one that the task requires and reports management system with powerful UI, UX and notification.

00;02;17;19 - 00;02;52;04
Speaker 2
Okay, this one is very generic in my opinion, but let's move forward. The critical protocol. The apps no one asked for but everyone secretly loves. Okay. Auto freeze interpreter convert executive fluff into something that makes sense. That network theory service that jokes generator to lighten up your log. A generator that delivers what you really need. Stickers equipped with that joke generator translator that ensures nothing makes sense.

00;02;52;05 - 00;03;27;24
Speaker 2
Sticker generator for passive aggressive workplace comms. So that's. That's a funny word. Okay, let's move forward. JRPG team up. Okay. Up to see my team progress. All right. He build up for himself. Okay, let's see more croc show. Transform natural language into powerful shell commands with intelligence of Germany 1.5 shell commands. Okay. Name generator. Generator. Right. Let's move down to Rapid Design.

00;03;27;24 - 00;04;02;21

Insert on your WhatsApp. Ring ECG. Free image. Free AI image generator with multi modal capabilities. So basically they build they build a runway, some sort the AI image generator app offers over 40 specialized models for realistic, cinematic, artistic, illustrative logo and other types of images.

00;04;02;23 - 00;04;33;04
Speaker 2
Okay. Mood sync, feel closer. Eye power. Mood sync for better relationship. Happy. Calm. Stress. That generic app idea but they build, set, tag PA, tag, connect and organize effortlessly QR code. So tag pal is a convenient app that lets users connect with others using QR code, eliminating the need to share contact information. It's actually not a bad idea.

00;04;33;07 - 00;05;04;26
Speaker 2
The app also features physical folder for strong and organizing important documents and records. Tag app. It's called tag pal. Hey, pal, what's going on? Big. Amazing. Safely and freely. Create QR codes and convert files. All right. QR code is a big idea. It's easy to build. I see why they're doing it. Fabula, the magical AI storyteller that creates personalize.

00;05;04;29 - 00;05;33;06
Speaker 2
Oh, that's a really good idea. The magical AI. A storyteller that creates personalized stories for your kids. All right, so let's move forward. So the way in on the lunch page every day there are like number of apps are being developed. And then so every week it leads it lists all the apps that were developed by unlovable every week.

00;05;33;07 - 00;06;10;29
Speaker 2

Speaker 2
The solution a platform where every question is start with best comedy ads and words and options. Know people. Explain their words. Back story. All right. I don't think we needed this platform, but you build it. Future of e-commerce development from months to weeks. Build an e-commerce platform in weeks, not months. It's actually. That's pretty impressive.

00;07;12;10 - 00;07;40;00

00;10;26;11 - 00;10;57;15
Speaker 2

00;11;30;08 - 00;11;54;03
Speaker 2
Yeah, I mean, only I think the one that really piqued my interest into in terms of like usability and solubility. I think the coloring page, I think that could be a that could turn into a business that is not going to be a massive business, but decent business. But out of all these 25 apps, I checked, some of them were interesting, I think.

00;11;54;04 - 00;12;22;25

Speaker 2
Again, working with level one right now. So far not super impressed, but I haven't given it enough energy and time and attention are real. At some point this week and next week hopefully. This was an interesting listen to understand where people are going with this platform, what they're building, what they're trying to ship. Most of these apps.

00;12;51;06 - 00;13;12;27
Speaker 2
Basically, the creator wanted to test the app, test lovable, and came up with an idea and did it. And, don't see so many idea of with massive commercialization potential, but hey, you don't you don't find your unicorn idea with the first try. You have to try many times and there are doing it. I hope you'll be doing it as well.
