Anthropic Is Apparently Building a Vibe-Coding Competitor to Lovable
Summary
Leaked screenshots suggest Anthropic is working on an application builder for its AI assistant Claude, allowing users to create apps—including chatbots, photo galleries, and landing pages—from simple text prompts. This would expand Claude into a full app development platform and complement Anthropic’s existing developer tool, Claude Code. The move positions Anthropic as a direct competitor to Lovable, a Swedish vibe-coding startup that recently raised significant funding. Lovable is responding to the increased competition with an acquisition strategy. Anthropic’s expansion into vibe-coding follows a similar pattern of entering established markets, such as legal tech, and analysts predict this trend will continue, potentially challenging specialized startups in the long run. While Anthropic has not officially confirmed the app builder, its release would likely intensify competition in the vibe-coding segment.
