AI 编程产品 Lovable 的 CEO Anton Osika 今天说， Lovable 的 ARR 在 5 个月时间已经达到了 4000 万美金 ，他们已经帮助 100 万人实现了他们的想 法。 Anton Osika 说他们深受非技术用户喜欢，原因包括它本身就是为普通人打造而非工程师，其次优化了 Lovable的用户界面和聊天中的回应方式，使其尽 可能易于理解；第三，Lovable 有一个独有的编辑模式，可让用户进行即时精准的编辑，从而更快、更精准地更改细节。 现在， Lovable 还直接内置了购买和连接自定义域名的功能，你可以通过一个简单的流程将应用托管在自定义域名上 ，而不用像之前那样必须设置托 管、单独购买域名、配置一堆 DNS 等设置，也算是减少了用户的使用环节，对于非技术人来说，每次设置 DNS 可能都需要看着教程一步步操作。 而其竞争对手 Bolt.new 最近直接把 Stripe 支付原生集成在 Bolt 里了 ，我体验了一下确实操作简单了很多，你只需要直接在 Bolt.new 的网站页面点击 Stripe 标签就可以设置了，让接入支付这个之前看似比较麻烦的动作也变得非常简单了。 这些 ...

AI编程是当前AI领域唯一盈利赛道。这不仅是一种技术革新，更是一场创造方式的变革，正在重塑软件开发的边界，让更多人能够将想法转化为现实， 重新定义人与技术的关系。 从GitHub Copilot这样的代码补全插件，到Cursor这类AI IDE，AI编程工具正在变得更加集成和智能。这种演变不仅提高了效率，还大幅降低了编程门槛， 使非程序员也能创造软件。 上周，Visual Studio Code 1.99 发布，接入了第三方模型，引入 Agent 模式和 MCP 协议，试图推动 AI 编程从"辅助工具"向"开发主体"演进，成为全栈开发 的"智能底座"。 想推动AI编程从Copilot向Autopilot演进的还有字节推出的Trae。年初字节的AI编程产品Trae上线，我跟Orange、孙志岗、阑夕做过一期直播，探讨了AI编 程工具的发展趋势、各类产品差异、对专业程序员与非专业用户的影响，以及行业竞争格局等话题。 讨论要点如下： 以下为讨论纪要： AI编程工具：功能与体验差异 潘乱： 春节前字节跳动新加坡子公司发布了一款面向海外的AI编程工具Trae，支持AI问答代码、自动补全和基于代理的AI编程等功能。它支持 ...
