AI app builders, as AI assistants see them

In the week of 12 October 2026, the AI assistants we track most often recommend Lovable (59), Bolt (43) and Replit (39) for ai app builders, out of 40 products we follow in this category. Scores are the share of 60 answers naming each product, across 3 assistants.

Out of 40 AI app builders tracked, Lovable sits on top with an overall score of 59, named in 61 of 75 answers across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. The gap below is real: Bolt holds second place with 43, just ahead of Replit at 39, and both are named in roughly 70% of answers. v0 follows at 34, named in 46 of 75 answers, while Bubble rounds out the top five with 18. Lovable's lead is clearest on ChatGPT, where it scores 73 versus Bolt's 49 and Replit's 50 — a wider margin than it holds on Claude or Perplexity.
