adorable, A.I.-The company, which provides a platform for building apps and websites, has opened its first U.S. office in Boston, marking a significant step in the European startup’s expansion into the American market.
The company, which allows users to build software products through natural language interactions, chose Massachusetts for its approach to applied AI rather than its proximity to Silicon Valley.
Lovable co-founder Anton Osika announced the opening on LinkedIn and explained the reasoning behind the location. “Massachusetts has a pragmatic way of thinking about AI, so we felt Boston was the right place for us to open an office,” he wrote. “It’s important to leverage AI to solve real problems, not just build technology, and that’s something Governor Maura Healey has made clear.”
He added, “That’s why we launched Lovable to help 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 on the idea that anyone should be able to create and maintain software using plain English, without traditional coding knowledge.
Osika brings a background that spans particle physics research at CERN, founding an engineering role at Sana Labs, an EdTech platform that raised more than $80 million and reached millions of learners, and co-founded Depict.ai, an AI-powered product discovery platform that raised $20 million and scaled to deliver billions of product recommendations. The team behind Lovable has previously built projects that have become one of the most widely used open source code generation projects and have reached 50,000 GitHub stars.
Landing in the center of higher education in the United States
Lovable’s Boston location is close to a cluster of universities, research institutes, and EdTech companies that are already experimenting with AI-assisted development. The platform is already being used by educators and non-technical founders to build functional tools without writing code, and the US office is expected to accelerate partnerships in that area.
Governor Healey’s attendance at the opening ceremony underscores the state’s active interest in positioning Massachusetts as a center for applied AI, an important signal for EdTech companies and institutions considering where to build or expand.
