## Transcript

Transcribed by machine (Whisper) from the episode’s audio, so a word may be off here and there.

[21:58](https://realalpha.app/v/KEAYPqQG2-M/?t=1318) Okay. And here you can see some more of the primitives that is making lovable into a platform for you to run your company on. so you as you can obviously assume you can store data in there you can handle emails but you can also do things like payments connecting to your existing emails or connecting to any other tools that you might use you might for example want to get this posted in slack when there's a new email coming in yeah because now we have now that i'm thinking we have everything that's running like inside different AIs and projects if we connect all the emails all the corporate emails to this and make it a hub where you see all the brand deals and what's working like if we have email for producers that are working on a particular video and there is a brand deal like it all gets connected

[22:47](https://realalpha.app/v/KEAYPqQG2-M/?t=1367) interesting so it's like building a back end for your business not just and this connective layer between the different things as well how much more expensive is this versus using just I don't know cloud projects for running your business because like in terms of tokens for the building piece um it's very similar in terms of costs and what you get as well is which is going to be included for free is the hosting for the projects that you're using which are which is very scalable on the hosting side and you get these things like the analytics so you can use level for free every day with a certain amount of credits and then if you want to upgrade the default is 25 dollars per month and how complicated can this setup be when i'm building something can you draw me a line where it stops being something that can be done on lovable and i have to hire a developer does it

[23:42](https://realalpha.app/v/KEAYPqQG2-M/?t=1422) exist i think that line the line is probably moving right yeah the line is very much moving and it depends on how um how dedicated you are and how much of a creative problem solving person you are if you are if you're dedicated and curious and really want to learn these things then the line is very far out if you for example building facebook requires you to have a lot of load a lot of hundreds of thousands of customers at the same time and and do this globally that that is that is outside of the line but most of the software that i'm interacting with day to day You can build them in Lovable.

[24:21](https://realalpha.app/v/KEAYPqQG2-M/?t=1461) What about something that I built 12 years ago with the help of different developers, study broad booking platform? I think that's a great example. You can build it with Lovable? And the thing which I hear from our customers is that they are usually the ones who understand their users and their customers the best. So they're closest to the problem. And that's why you often end up with a very good, the polished very well thought out product compared to if you have very slow cycles where you have to hand off everything every few weeks i remember that yeah so so that's a big part of the advantage of on building on this platform and what we work really hard for is that it just works and you can focus on your customers and the product vision that you want you want to have
