Builder.io has partnered with Lovable to enable automatic conversion of Figma designs into functioning full-stack applications using AI technology.
Key functionality; The new integration allows designers and developers to transform Figma design files directly into working applications complete with both frontend interfaces and backend functionality.
- Users can generate production-ready applications or quick prototypes by providing design files and text prompts
- The system promises pixel-perfect recreation of original Figma designs in the final application output
- Both rapid prototyping and full production applications are supported through this automated conversion process
Technical capabilities; The partnership combines Builder.io’s visual development platform with Lovable’s AI technology to automate the traditionally manual process of converting designs to code.
- The solution handles both frontend interface development and backend system architecture
- AI technology interprets design files and user prompts to generate the necessary application code
- The system maintains visual fidelity between the original design and the implemented application
Potential impact; This automation tool represents a significant step toward streamlining the design-to-development workflow that has historically required substantial manual coding effort.
- The technology could help reduce the time and resources needed to transform designs into working applications
- Teams may be able to iterate more quickly between design and implementation phases
- Small teams and individual developers could benefit from accelerated development capabilities
Looking ahead; While promising, the true test will be whether the generated applications can meet production quality standards and handle complex business logic beyond basic interface implementations.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
