Lovable lets you build apps and websites just by describing what you want. This guide gives you the exact prompts for the three builds from my video: a life dashboard, a personal brand website and a personal travel planner. Copy a prompt, fill in the brackets, and Lovable builds it.
- $5 off your first month of Lovable Pro
- A life dashboard that tracks your goals and habits
- A personal brand website in your own colors and fonts

Before you start
Your account:
A Lovable account. Sign up through lovable.dev to get $5 off your first month of Lovable Pro.
Your materials:
Your goals and habits, a few lines about you and your brand, and the details of your next trip.
Your first goal:
One working build today. The dashboard is the easiest place to start.
Lovable is a software creation tool. You describe what you want in plain words, and it builds the app or website for you. Then you keep chatting with it to change anything you don't like.
Get $5 off your first month
Head to lovable.dev and you get $5 off your first month of Lovable Pro. Click here to claim it.

- You'll land on a chat box that says something like "Ask Lovable to create...". That's where every prompt in this guide goes.
Maverick's tip
Each prompt below starts a new project. Paste it into the main chat box on your Lovable home screen, not inside a project you've already built.
How building in Lovable works
- You describe it, Lovable builds it. Your first message creates the whole first version.
- Then you chat to change it. "Make the buttons bigger," "add a dark mode," "move this to the top." Every message updates the build.
- Be specific. The more real details you give it (your actual goals, your actual trip), the more useful the first version is.
Build 1: Your Life Dashboard
One page where you track your goals, check off your daily steps and see what's actually moving forward. Fill in the brackets with your real goals, habits and projects.
Build me a personal life dashboard. Here's what I'm working on: My goals: [YOUR 3 TO 5 GOALS, E.G. RUN A HALF MARATHON, SAVE $5,000, LAUNCH MY SIDE BUSINESS] My daily habits: [THE HABITS YOU WANT TO TRACK, E.G. WORKOUT, READ 20 MINUTES, NO PHONE AFTER 10PM] My projects: [YOUR CURRENT PROJECTS AND WHERE EACH ONE IS AT] Make it one clean page where I can track progress on each goal, check off my daily steps every day, and see which projects are actually moving forward and which ones are stuck. Add a streak counter for each habit, a progress bar for each goal, and a simple weekly view so I can see how my week went. Save my check-ins so they're still there when I come back tomorrow.
Make it yours
Once it's built, keep going in the same project:
- "Add a section for my top 3 priorities for today."
- "Break each goal into smaller steps I can check off."
- "Make it look good on my phone so I can check things off on the go."
Maverick's tip
Keep it open in a browser tab, or add it to your phone's home screen, so checking things off takes two seconds.
Build 2: Your Personal Brand Website
A website about you and your brand, in your own colors and fonts. Set up your design system first, so this site (and everything you build after it) matches your brand.
First: create your design system
- In the Lovable chat box, hit the +.
- Choose Design.
- Choose Use design system, then Create design system.
- Set your own colors and fonts.
Lovable will use your design system for all your new projects, so you only do this once.
Then: build the website
I want you to build me a personal brand website. Here are the details about me and my brand: Who I am: [YOUR NAME AND WHAT YOU DO IN ONE OR TWO SENTENCES] Who I help: [YOUR AUDIENCE OR CUSTOMERS] What I offer: [YOUR SERVICES, PRODUCTS, CONTENT OR NEWSLETTER] My story: [A FEW LINES ON HOW YOU GOT HERE] Where to find me: [YOUR SOCIAL HANDLES AND EMAIL] What I want visitors to do: [E.G. BOOK A CALL, JOIN MY NEWSLETTER, BUY MY PRODUCT] Use my design system for the colors and fonts. Include a homepage with a strong headline about what I do, an about section with my story, a section for what I offer, my social links, and one clear button for the main thing I want visitors to do. Keep the copy short, warm and in plain language, and make it look great on phones.
Maverick's tip
Add a photo of yourself. Drag it into the chat and say "use this photo in the about section." It makes the site feel like you.
Build 3: Your Personal Travel Planner
An interactive itinerary where you can drag activities between days and keep your flights, hotels and budget all in one place.
Build me an interactive travel planner for my next trip. Where I'm going: [CITY OR COUNTRY] My dates: [START DATE TO END DATE] Places I want to visit: [THE SPOTS ALREADY ON YOUR LIST] What I like: [E.G. STREET FOOD, MUSEUMS, HIKING, NIGHTLIFE, COFFEE SHOPS] My budget: [TOTAL BUDGET AND CURRENCY] Make a day-by-day itinerary where I can drag activities between days. Add a section for my flights and hotels with confirmation numbers, and a budget tracker that shows what I've planned to spend against my total. Recommend more places to go and restaurants to try based on what I like, and let me add any recommendation to a day with one click.
Make it yours
- "Add a packing list I can check off."
- "Show each day's activities on a map."
- "Make a version I can share with the people I'm traveling with."
Maverick's tip
Lovable's recommendations are a starting point. Check opening hours and prices before you go, because they change.
Common Mistakes and Quick Fixes
| If this happens | Try this |
|---|---|
| The first version is too basic | Fill in every bracket with real details, then ask for exactly what's missing. |
| It changed something you liked | Say "undo that last change" or restore an earlier version from the project history. |
| Your check-ins or trip details disappear | Ask "save my data so it's still there when I come back." |
| The website doesn't use your colors | Make sure your design system is set up first, then say "use my design system." |
| It looks off on your phone | Say "fix the layout on mobile" and describe what looks wrong. |
| You don't see the $5 off | Sign up through the lovable.dev link in this guide. |
Maverick's tip
One change per message works better than ten changes at once. Lovable gets each one right and it's easier to undo.
