Can I Build a Startup with AI in 1 Hour? (Deep Research + Lovable)

In this video I challenge myself to build a startup software using only AI in under 1 hour. I know his is a bit of an ambitious task but I want to put Deep Research and Lovable to the test to see how far you can build in 1 hour. This video will give some valuable insights on how to work with Lovable to build your own SaaS with AI.

What do you want to see my build next?

Great video! Subscribed. I feel your pain when it gets stuck up on something simple. I recently had a tiny little issue right at the end of working on a fairly complex app and it was so bloody infuriating. But eventually we got there. Sometimes taking a breather - get some fresh air - and coming back to it can do wonders!

I've heard so many great things with Lovable. The part about Stripe integrations was most useful for me.

[DrAri-jmbl]

Thanks, Brok!!!
I appreciate this video, I started using Loveble a few days ago, and now I understand more about how can I integrate other apps and solutions.

[patrickoloo]

Great work as always. I was really looking forward to the stripe integration working.

[RalfTenbrink]

Still great to see what you managed in one hour. Great video

[auramediaas]

Love it. Subbed. Would love to see this process all the way through - including adding domains and publishing it. An absolute gold nugget would be to see the app turned into something for mobile as well - but that might be difficult?

[madiaz]

Awesoem video. You should use deep research to come up with the idea that would be easy to market. Like high demand/low competion app. And I think it´s better to add the stripe payment before adding all the feauters to the app.

[EricDegaardt]

Great as always Brock! Maybe you recorded it while they were making big changes. Crisp anyway 😊

[CPTZK]

DEFINITELY didnt wash hands at that bathroom break 😂😂😂

[donluissalascortes]

Excellent video and if we add more plans, the standard plan is a story with only text, the intermediate plan text plus images (dall-e or another image generation api) and the advanced plan, text + images + voice generation with the elevenlabs api....greetings from Chile

Awesome vid like always bro. Btw let say you deploy the app, how can u edit it if u wanna make chnages or update certain things?

[morena-jackson]

Great video, really I don't know why you're rusing to make it but it does make it more interesting. I've had issues with lovable not getting a button to work also, I've even seleted it and it still didn't get it. Eventually it did fix it but I've had that issue before.

[fredericb]

incredible and very interesting, why lovable, why not databutton, Bolt, replit for this project ?

[BamaPatriot]

Appreciate the video! It showed me that I cannot depend on Lovable to create my website apps. Reminded me of my experience with TempoLabs. Are there any good Ai coding platforms out there? Cursor, Windsurf, Tra Ai?

[Nnnh]

Is it possible to build more complicated apps like ride sharing apps using lovable? Just like you can with bubble?

[ChaoticShot]

Love watching your videos about this stuff. So easy to follow and understand. If I remember right, you used YouTube API in a previous video. Was curious if you had any issues or problems with? I keep getting an error saying invalid Api key among some other errors. Any advice or how I should go about this? Thanks

[bricelontchi]

I've been building an app on lovable for the past day and a half as well and for some reason it's not performing as good as it used to, runs into a lot of errors and you end up spending all your message tokens fixing those errors, the most frustrating part is that these aren't even complex functionalities

[mattsoltani]

Awesome man thank you very much for this helpful and motivating content I also would be appreciated it if you could go for stripe attachment

[syedmraza-ca]

HOUSTON! DA BUTTONS!!! THERE ARE NO STRIPES!! 😰😰😰
Jokes aside, nj this was really good I enjoyed watching the process :)
