Summary

Zohar Vanunu, a former 3D animator with no prior coding experience, leveraged the platform Lovable to create Kolbo.AI, an all-in-one AI content creation platform tailored for creatives. Frustrated by existing AI tools and their costs, Zohar sought a unified solution, eventually using Lovable to transform his Figma designs into functioning components. He engaged with the platform so extensively that he won Lovable's promptathon, earning 12,000 credits, which he utilized to launch Israel's largest AI-building course and to develop Kolbo.AI. The platform combines internal tools, Notion-like documentation, and a Miro alternative, with AI-generated components refined by developers, saving significant development costs. Through his course, Zohar emphasizes the importance of understanding backend processes and documenting workflows, encouraging learners to build projects that address their own problems. Despite initial challenges with file conflicts and API connections, Zohar's persistence in debugging and learning led him to feel empowered as a developer, and he continues to push the boundaries of Lovable by developing client platforms and seeking deeper integrations, such as with Stripe.
