#071 - 40 Million Products Built Without Code with Lovable CEO Anton Osika

This week on GAEA Talks Live from HumanX, Graeme Scott sits down with Anton Osika - co-founder and CEO of Lovable, the AI app builder that has powered over forty million products in sixteen months, with more than two hundred thousand new products being built on the platform every single day.Anton grew up obsessed with understanding how things work, studied physics, became a CTO of a forty-person AI team, and in 2023 became convinced that large language models would fundamentally change how software was built. He biked over to his future co-founder's apartment, called him from the street, and the two of them started building what would become Lovable. Since launch, Lovable has grown at a rate very few products in software history have matched, and is now used by solo founders, freelancers, product managers inside Microsoft and Uber, and Fortune 500 companies looking to give every one of their employees the ability to go from idea to shipped software.In this episode, recorded live at HumanX 2026 in San Francisco, Anton explains why the build phase is only the beginning, why running software reliably, securely and at scale is the next frontier for AI platforms, and why reading Nick Bostrom ten years ago set him on a path to build tools that could empower the largest possible number of humans.What you'll take away from this conversation:- How Lovable went from idea to forty million products built in sixteen months- The "build phase is only the beginning" realisation - and why lifecycle management is the next great AI platform problem- Why Anton believes software creation is the single highest-leverage capability to democratise- The end-to-end penetration testing layer Lovable now runs before any AI-built app goes live on the internet- Why fortune five hundred adoption is happening faster than anyone expected - and what product managers at Microsoft are actually doing with Lovable- The Grammy-nominated freelancer story - and what it says about the future of small business in America- Why Anton believes this is the best time in history to start a company- The physics-trained instinct for breaking down systems - and how it shapes how Anton builds Lovable- Why empowering non-technical creators is the fastest path to solving more of the world's real problems- What the "messy operations" of shipping production-grade software actually look like- Why culture and team energy are Anton's single biggest focus inside a hyper-growth company- The Nick Bostrom influence that set Anton's ten-year trajectory into AIAbout Anton Osika:Anton Osika is the co-founder and CEO of Lovable, the AI app builder that has enabled more than forty million products to be created by users with no engineering background. Before Lovable, Anton was CTO of an AI company and has spent the last decade building AI products, teams and culture. He holds a background in physics, is one of the most recognised voices in Europe on AI-empowered software creation, and is a leading European tech founder.GAEA Talks is the enterprise AI podcast for leaders navigating the age of artificial intelligence.
