Use Lovable in Tana

Connect the Lovable account you already have and build from inside Tana. Describe what you want in a meeting, or share a sketch on screen, and Lovable builds a first version everyone can click through before the meeting ends. Everything lands in your own Lovable projects. This guide covers the one-time setup and how to use Lovable once it is connected.

Lovable is in beta in Tana.

What you can do with Lovable in Tana

• Build what was just described: a landing page, a prototype, an internal tool, or a page for the summer party
• Build from the screen: share a sketch, a competitor’s site or a bug, and Lovable works from what it shows
• Settle a discussion: mock up both options and compare them before the meeting ends
• Keep going on a project you have: pick any project in your Lovable workspace and ask for the next change

What you need

• A Lovable account. Every plan works, and there is nothing to install from Lovable. On Lovable’s Enterprise plan, your workspace admin first has to allow outside apps to connect, in Lovable’s privacy and security settings.
• Tana, in the desktop app or in a browser. To use Lovable in Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams calls you need Tana Desktop on Mac or Windows, which is what captures those calls.

Connect Lovable

You only need to do this once.

Use Lovable in a meeting

• Ask out loud: say “Hey Lovable” followed by what you want built. The answer arrives in your Agents chat.
• Ask in the chat: open the Agents chat beside the meeting, pick Lovable under Who answers here, and write your request. You can attach images, such as a sketch or a screenshot.

Some things to try:

• “Hey Lovable, can you build what they just described, so we can click through it together?”
• “Hey Lovable, make a page for the summer party. Everyone has to RSVP by Friday.”
• “Build the onboarding as a quiz next to the current form, so we can compare them.”
• “Move the prices to the front page.”

Lovable’s answer links to the project’s preview. Open it, or share your screen, while you are still talking.

Lovable works from what you ask, the chat and what is on the shared screen. To build on something from an earlier meeting, ask Tana about it in the same chat first. Lovable reads the answer with your next request.

Only you see what you ask and what Lovable answers. Share with everyone under an answer posts it to the Meeting chat.

Use Lovable in a chat

Lovable also answers in any chat that only you can read. Mention it with @Lovable, or pick it under Who answers here.

Which project Lovable builds in

The first time you ask in a chat, a card asks which project to use. Pick one of your recent projects or New project, and Lovable keeps building there for the rest of the chat.

• Name a project in your request, and Lovable goes straight to it.
• Name a different project later in the same chat, and a card asks which project the request should go to.
• Settings, External agents shows the project Lovable starts in. Forget clears it.

What to expect while it builds

• Lovable starts building as soon as you ask. There is no approval step in Tana first, so a request uses your Lovable credits the same as building in Lovable itself.
• Questions come back as cards. When Lovable needs you to choose between options, or pauses for your approval, a card in the chat lets you answer in one click.
• Stopping: once Lovable has started on a request, the build finishes on its own in Lovable.
• Changes land in Lovable, not in Tana. What Lovable builds is in your Lovable project, where you can keep working on it, publish it, or sync it to GitHub.

Disconnect Lovable

In Settings, External agents, choose Disconnect next to Lovable. Your Lovable projects are not affected.
