Lovable for government delivery.

Internal preview

The prompt-to-app experience of Lovable or Cursor, specialised for the GDS cohort: describe the journey, watch it build with the real GOV.UK design system, and keep every version in git. A prototype that survives assessment rather than being thrown away at it.

Why it exists.

Government delivery has its own physics, and generic tooling ignores all of it. A prototype that is not built from the actual design system teaches a team the wrong thing and has to be thrown away at assessment.

What it does.

Real GOV.UK componentsJourneys render through govuk-frontend 6.1.0 macros — the same components the live services use, not a lookalike.

Journeys from a conversationDescribe the service and the pages appear; refine by talking rather than by wiring a prototype together by hand.

Every project version-controlledEach project is a git repository, so a journey has history and a change has an author.

Sovereign by constructionModel-agnostic and deployable inside your own boundary, which is a requirement in this sector rather than a preference.

Who it is for.

Departments and suppliers working to the service standard who need a prototype that survives contact with an assessment.

Status and access.

In use internally on real journeys, with pilots by arrangement.
