Episode 31: Bolt.new vs Lovable vs V0: Which AI App Builder Is Best for Your Project?

Welcome to another episode of Tech Break by Friday! In this special episode, I share my firsthand experience exploring the top AI App Builder tools that are transforming how apps get built today. Drawing from my 3.5 years as a professional developer and deep knowledge as an AI expert, I provide an insightful comparison of three standout platforms: Bolt.new (http://Bolt.new) , Lovable, and v0. You'll learn about the fascinating founders behind each tool—from Eric Simons, the entrepreneur who resurrected StackBlitz to build Bolt.new (http://Bolt.new) ; to Anton Osika, the physicist turned startup CEO leading Lovable’s mission to democratize app building; and Tim Neutkens, the architect of Next.js shaping v0’s frontend UI innovation. We dive into what makes each platform unique: Bolt.new (http://Bolt.new) ’s full-stack AI app generation inside the browser, Lovable’s conversational approach empowering non-coders to build with AI, and v0’s developer-focused rapid UI code generation with React and Tailwind. Plus, I walk through a live case study creating a sleek podcast website on each platform—covering UI design, backend integration, deployment, and more. If you're curious about incorporating AI-powered tools into your projects or want to see how these cutting-edge builders stack up, this episode is for you.
