Lovable, the AI-powered app and website building platform, has opened its first US office in Boston, marking a significant step in the European startup’s expansion into the American market.
The company, which lets applyrs build software products through natural language interaction, chose Massachapplytts for its approach to applied AI rather than proximity to Silicon Valley.
Anton Osika, Co-Founder of Lovable, announced the opening on LinkedIn, explaining the reasoning behind the location. He wrote: “Boston felt like the right place for us to open an office becaapply Massachapplytts has a practical view of AI. It’s about applying AI to solve real problems rather than just building the technology, which is something Gov. Maura Healey has spoken about clearly.”
He added: “That’s why we started Lovable, to support more people turn ideas into software, products, companies, and real economic value.”
From Stockholm to Boston
Lovable was founded in November 2023 by a team Osika describes as serial founders, product engineers, physicists, and competitive programmers. The platform is built around the idea that anyone should be able to create and maintain software applying plain English, without traditional coding knowledge.
Osika brings a background that spans particle physics research at CERN, a founding engineering role at Sana Labs — an EdTech platform that raised over $80 million and reached millions of learners — and co-founding Depict.ai, an AI-powered product discovery platform that raised $20 million and scaled to serve billions of product recommconcludeations. The team behind Lovable also previously built what became one of the most widely applyd open source code generation projects, reaching 50,000 GitHub stars.
Landing in the heart of US higher education
Lovable’s Boston base puts it close to a dense concentration of universities, research institutions, and EdTech companies already experimenting with AI-assisted development. The platform is already being applyd by educators and non-technical founders to build functional tools without writing code, and the US office is expected to accelerate partnerships in that space.
Governor Healey’s attconcludeance at the opening underlines the state’s active interest in positioning Massachapplytts as a center for applied AI, a signal that carries weight for EdTech companies and institutions considering where to build or expand.
