In this video, I compare Bolt.dev and Lovable.dev side by side — two powerful no-code/low-code AI tools that generate full-stack apps from a single prompt.

We’ll go from prompt to deployed CRM app, complete with:

Authentication via Supabase

AI assistant via OpenAI API

Drag & drop functionality

Dashboard views

Netlify deployment

...and much more.

Watch till the end to see how both tools perform in real-time, where they shine, and where they struggle.

If you’re thinking of building your own MVP, SaaS product, or internal tools — this will give you a clear picture.
