How to Build an App With Lovable [Tutorial]

Updated: March 13th, 2025

Hi, I’m Pat Walls, creator of Starter Story.

People assume building an AI-powered app requires months of coding and deep technical skills.

It doesn’t.

With the right approach, AI can build the app for you—you just need to know how to guide it.

That’s why we created:

How to Build an App with Lovable

A 2-hour course where Lazar, a Starter Story member, walks me through his process for building apps using Lovable.

Instead of wasting time on tutorials that show you how to build a random app you’ll never use, this course teaches you how to think like a developer and actually use AI tools to build real, working products.


What You’ll Learn

  • AI-First Building – How to talk to AI so it builds the app for you.
  • Scale Without Coding – The documentation-first approach that saves you weeks of trial and error.
  • Design Like a Pro – Use design libraries and templates to make your app look legit.
  • Debugging Made Easy – Problem-solving techniques so you’re never stuck.

By the end of this course, you’ll understand how to use AI coding tools to turn ideas into real apps—faster than ever.


Why This Works

Most beginners waste months stuck on technical roadblocks, tweaking buttons, and second-guessing themselves.

The best founders focus on building and shipping.

Lovable lets you do that—without needing to master code first.


What’s Included:

  • Step-by-step walkthrough – Watch as we build an app from scratch.
  • 2 hours of video lessons – Get real-world insights and a repeatable framework.
  • Instant access – Learn at your own pace, return whenever you need.
  • Direct support – Ask questions, get help, and move fast.

Who This Course Is For:

✅ You want to build something but don’t know where to start.
✅ You’re tired of random tutorials and want real-world frameworks that work.
✅ You’re a founder, indie hacker, or builder who wants to ship faster.
✅ You have zero coding experience but want to leverage AI.
