Part of the Lovable Cloud & AI platform:Lovable Cloud
Lovable AI Gateway is Lovable's AI Models feature: Built-in access to frontier models — no API keys needed.
Lovable AI lets your app call leading LLMs and image models without managing API keys or provider accounts. Powers chatbots, summaries, sentiment, document Q&A, multilingual translation, and image/document analysis. Requires Lovable Cloud.
Lovable AI Gateway is one surface of Lovable Cloud — the managed backend behind Lovable apps, covering Postgres, storage, authentication, edge functions, and model access inside a single project.
Example workflows
Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.
Stand it up from scratch
You have read the record and want Lovable AI Gateway working in a real project rather than a sandbox.
Set up Lovable AI Gateway in this project — built-in access to frontier models — no API keys needed. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.
Expected outcomeA working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.
AI summaries
The record lists this as one of the jobs Lovable AI Gateway is meant for, so it is a fair first test of whether it fits your app.
In this project, use Lovable AI Gateway for AI summaries. Build the smallest version that a real user could complete end to end, keep the change scoped to that path, and tell me how to test it myself.
Expected outcomeOne complete path a user can walk, the files and settings that changed, and the steps to test it. Walk it yourself before you ship it.
Review it before you publish
Lovable AI Gateway is wired in and you are about to put it in front of people. This is the pass that catches the half-configured version.
Review how this project uses Lovable AI Gateway before I publish. Check no API keys and frontier text + image models, list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.
Expected outcomeA findings list split into what was fixed and what was left, with a reason for each. Anything left alone is yours to decide on.
Conversational chatbots
A second job the record lists for Lovable AI Gateway, useful once the first path works.
Extend this project so Lovable AI Gateway also covers conversational chatbots. Reuse what is already wired rather than adding a parallel setup, and tell me what you reused and what is new.
Expected outcomeA second path built on the same setup, plus a note on what was shared and what was added.
