AI Studio compared with Lovable, Claude Code and Codex
All four build from plain language. The difference is where they start and where the result lives. Lovable, Claude Code and Codex start from code or a new app. AI Studio, the vibe coder inside the platform, starts from the contacts, calendars, pipeline and payments your business already runs on.
Where each tool starts, and where the result runs
If you are building a software product, the first three are the right kind of tool. If you run a company with staff, the build you need is the one that already knows your customers.
