AI-Powered App Builders
Lovable — iOS and Android Launch
- Update: Lovable shipped native mobile apps for iOS and Android, extending its vibe-coding interface to mobile platforms
- What you can now build: Full-stack AI-generated applications on smartphones; deploy to App Store and Google Play

Replit — Visa Investment & Agentic Payments
- Update: Visa invested in Replit to power agentic payments for developers, integrating payment flows into the development environment
- What you can now build: Developer tools with embedded payment processing, reducing friction for monetization
- Notable because: Replit hit $3B valuation in September 2025; this partnership validates vibe-coding as enterprise-ready infrastructure
Cursor — Automations for Agentic Coding
- Update: Cursor rolled out "Automations," a new system that launches AI agents triggered by code changes, Slack messages, or timers
- What you can now build: Self-healing codebases; automated code review and refactoring workflows
- Notable because: Positions Cursor agents as a force multiplier for software engineers, not a replacement
New Tool Launches
OnSpace AI (Product Hunt)
- What it does: AI-built full-stack apps with managed backends, authentication, payments, and code export
- Target user: Founders and makers who want production-ready apps without infrastructure setup
- Pricing: Beta access available; code export included
- Traction: Featured on Product Hunt as a top no-code app builder launch
