Set a goal for Lovable is Lovable's Editor feature: You can now set a goal : type /goal at the start of a build message, or pick Goal from the menu that opens when you type / , then describe….

You can now set a goal : type /goal at the start of a build message, or pick Goal from the menu that opens when you type / , then describe what you want done. Lovable works on that one message until the goal is achieved, for up to 10 hours, without pausing to ask you questions, and builds the finished version of what you asked for. A goal costs noticeably more than a regular build message, and credit check-ins still pause the work at your check-in level.

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.

  1. Stand it up from scratch

    You have read the record and want Set a goal for Lovable working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

    Set up Set a goal for Lovable in this project — you can now set a goal : type /goal at the start of a build message, or pick Goal from the menu that opens when you type / , then. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

    Expected outcome

    A 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.

  2. Decide whether it fits your project

    Worth five minutes before you wire anything in. Set a goal for Lovable sits in Editor, and not every project needs it.

    I am building the project in this workspace. Given that Set a goal for Lovable you can now set a goal : type /goal at the start of a build message, or pick Goal from the menu that opens when you type / , then, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it. If it does fit, give me the single smallest first step.

    Expected outcome

    A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

  3. Brief your team on it

    Someone has to explain the change to the people who will live with it. This produces that note.

    Write a short note for my team about Set a goal for Lovable in Lovable — you can now set a goal : type /goal at the start of a build message, or pick Goal from the menu that opens when you type / , then. Under 120 words: what it is, what changes for us, and what we should do about it this week. Plain language, no hype, no bullet padding.

    Expected outcome

    A note you can paste into chat as-is. Read it once for anything overstated before you send it.
