Can you build complex apps with AI prompts? We tested Bolt and Lovable to find out

Let's put Bolt and Lovable to the test by having them build the exact same AI-powered prompt chaining application side by side.

Both platforms received the same prompt: an OpenAI GPT-4 Mini-powered workflow builder, similar to Zapier, that allows users to chain prompts together with drag-and-drop functionality.

We walk through the entire build process, from setting up Supabase for data storage to integrating OpenAI for AI-driven text generation. Along the way, we test each tool’s capabilities, debugging process, and overall usability to see which one delivers the best results for complex app development.

By the end of this video, you’ll have a clear understanding of how Lovable and Bolt compare when building more advanced AI applications—not just simple to-do lists. We also discuss potential improvements and features that could take these tools even further.

If you’re looking to build AI-powered applications without coding, this video will give you key insights into which platform might be the best fit for your needs.
