"A new generation of tools that let anyone - designers, marketers, founders, students - describe an app in plain English and watch it get built in real time. No compiler knowledge. No debugging in terminals. No Stack Overflow. Just a conversation with a machine that builds things."
"Lovable, a Stockholm-based startup launched in early 2024, reached $100M in annual recurring revenue in under 8 months - one of the fastest ARR trajectories ever recorded in enterprise software history."
"A quarter of all YC startups now ship code that's 95% AI-written. And somewhere in Silicon Valley, a 22-year-old with no CS degree just launched an app used by 40,000 people - without writing a single line."
AI coding tools have triggered a dramatic shift in software development accessibility. Lovable achieved $100M ARR in 8 months, while Replit and Cursor's parent company Anysphere reached multi-billion dollar valuations. The market, valued at $7.37 billion in 2025, is projected to reach $24 billion by 2030. Andrej Karpathy's term "vibe coding" captures this phenomenon: users describe applications in plain English and watch them build in real time without traditional programming knowledge. A quarter of Y Combinator startups now ship code that's 95% AI-written. This democratization enables designers, marketers, founders, and students to create functional applications without compiler knowledge or terminal debugging, representing an unprecedented transformation in software development accessibility.
