Build with Lovable
Validate demand before you build on Lovable
Lovable turns a prompt into a working app in minutes. That's exactly why validation matters more, not less: when building is cheap, the expensive mistake is building something nobody wants. Wedge is the validation layer that comes before Lovable — it helps you prove there's real demand, then generates a build brief you can hand straight to Lovable.
Why validate before you build on Lovable
Building fast isn't the same as building the right thing — a polished app for a problem no one has is still a dead end.
Most 'launch and see' attempts fail quietly: no signups, no reason why, nothing learned.
Ten minutes of validation evidence changes what you tell Lovable to build — and what you leave out.
The workflow: Wedge first, Lovable second
- 1
1. Describe your idea to Wedge
Your AI cofounder clarifies the customer, the problem, and the wedge — the specific angle you can own.
- 2
2. Find real demand
Wedge mines Hacker News and Reddit for people already voicing this pain, and structures customer interviews so you capture pains, objections, and willingness to pay.

3. Test it with a landing page
Generate a validation page in Wedge, publish it, and collect real waitlist signups — with A/B tests on your positioning and a conversion rate that feeds your Validation Score.

4. Read the score
The Validation Score turns your evidence — interviews, community signal, signups, problem size — into a clear 0–100 read on whether this is worth building.

5. Build the validated version in Lovable
Export Wedge's build brief — the customer, the core problem, the must-have first flow — and paste it into Lovable as your opening prompt so you build the thing the evidence points to.
The handoff to Lovable
Wedge's build brief gives Lovable the context a good build needs: who it's for, the one problem to nail first, and the features to skip for v1. You start Lovable with a validated spec instead of a blank prompt.
Frequently asked questions
Does Wedge replace Lovable?
No — they're complementary. Wedge validates what to build; Lovable builds it. Use Wedge first, then hand the brief to Lovable.
Is Wedge affiliated with Lovable?
No. Wedge is an independent product. We built this guide because founders use the two together — validate in Wedge, build in Lovable.
How long does validation take?
A first pass takes an afternoon: clarify the idea, mine community demand, publish a landing page, and start collecting signups. Stronger evidence builds over days of interviews and traffic.
Validate it, then build it
