Lovable
Let browser agents use your app
You can now let browser agents use your app. When you enable agent integrations, Lovable also adds WebMCP tools to your app, so an AI agent built into the browser can act on the page a person has open, such as marking a task as done or filtering a list. Browser tools run in the person's own browser tab with their…
Gemini 4 Argon for your app's AI features
Your app's AI features can now use Google's Gemini 4 Argon (google/gemini-4-argon), a frontier model for long-horizon coding, reasoning, and knowledge work.

Approve every tool from a chat connector at once
You can now select Always allow all tools from this connection when Lovable asks you to approve a tool from a chat connector, and every tool from that connection runs without asking from then on, including tools the server adds later. The choice applies to your own approvals only, and you can change it in the…

Extensions already installed in your…
Search for individual settings
You can now search for individual settings in workspace settings. Start typing in the search box at the top of the settings sidebar, and the results list the matching settings grouped by settings page, with the matching words highlighted. Select a result to open that setting.
Edit images directly in the Files tab
You can now mark a change directly on an image in your project's Files tab. Open the image and select Edit, then draw over an area and describe the change, pin a comment where you want something changed, erase what you want removed, or remove the background. Lovable saves the result as a new file next to the original.
See how much usage your free allowances cover
On Free, Pro, and Business plans, you can now see how much of your usage the free allowances covered.
