Open Lovable
Chat with AI to build React apps in a sandbox, using Firecrawl and your own model keys.
An open-source Lovable-style app builder from the Firecrawl team, running on your own keys.
Open Lovable is a chat interface that builds React apps in a sandbox. The README calls it an example app from the Firecrawl team, so treat it as a reference you can run and adapt.
What it is
You chat with a model of your choice and it writes a React app, executed in a Vercel or E2B sandbox. Setup needs a Firecrawl API key plus one AI provider key (Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI or Groq), with an optional Morph key for faster edits.
Who it's for
It suits developers who want to read and modify the source of a chat-to-React builder. It does not suit non-technical users, because you must clone the repo, install packages and fill an environment file with several keys.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- MIT licensing lets you fork and reshape the builder for your own workflow.
- You choose the model provider instead of buying a token plan.
- The sandbox is swappable between Vercel and E2B.
- Plain pnpm dev start-up, with no extra services beyond API keys.
Where it falls short
- It needs at least a Firecrawl key, a model key and a sandbox account before it works.
- The README describes it as an example app, so expect fewer guarantees than a product.
- There is no hosting or deployment flow in the README; you run it yourself.
Pricing & license
Open Lovable is free under the MIT licence. The README lists no paid plan; you pay only for the Firecrawl, model and sandbox accounts you connect.
