Lovable adds @ references for app connectors in chat
TL;DR
Lovable now supports typing @ in the chat input to reference and insert specific app connectors directly into messages.
What changed
Lovable now supports typing "@" in the chat input for Vibe Builders and Developers to reference specific app connectors. The feature inserts those connectors straight into messages as users describe what to build. Basic Users see the same option appear in their existing chat flows.
Why it matters
Developers working with multiple services can keep context inside one prompt instead of copying names from another screen. Vibe Builders gain a faster path when iterating on connected apps, much like the reference style already used in Cursor. A concrete use-case is pulling in a database connector and an API connector together while describing a single feature.
What to watch for
Test the same flow against alternatives such as Replit Agent to see how connector selection differs. Open a fresh chat, type "@" followed by a known connector name, and confirm the reference appears correctly before sending the message.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Type @ in the chat to reference multiple app connectors instantly while describing your app.
- Basic Users: Use the new @ shortcut in your chat flow to link external services without manual copying.
Amy’s take
Lovable is copying the UX patterns that made Cursor successful. Adding the @ mention for app connectors is a smart, low friction way to keep builders in the flow state. Instead of jumping between configuration tabs and chat inputs, users can now reference databases and APIs inline.
This update shows that the battle for AI app builders is won on developer experience. While other platforms force you through complex multi step setup wizards, Lovable is reducing the friction to a single keystroke. Watch for other no code platforms to quickly copy this pattern.
