Import from Lovable

Intermediate

Moving a project over from Lovable is quick because every Lovable app is backed by a GitHub repository. Get that repo into your GitHub account, then import it into bychat like any other repo.

  1. In Lovable, connect the project to GitHub (or open its existing GitHub repo) so the code lives in your GitHub account.
  2. On your bychat dashboard, open the New app menu and choose Import from GitHub.
  3. Browse to the Lovable project's repo (or paste its URL) and pick the branch.
  4. Review the detected build setup and confirm — your app opens with a live preview, ready to continue in chat.

If you'd rather start fresh from a description instead of importing, paste a prompt like this into the composer:

Starter prompt

Recreate my existing web app: [paste a short description of what it does, its main screens, and its style]. Build it as a modern, responsive web app.

Once imported, the app builds and previews on bychat. Lovable and bychat are independent after that — changes you make here don't sync back.
