Do I need to know how to code?
No. Builders like Lovable, Bolt and Replit let you start by chatting. Learning a little over time helps you fix things faster.
Is it free to start?
Lovable and Bolt both list free plans with usage limits. Replit lists paid plans on its pricing page. Check each official pricing page for current details.
What should I build first?
Something small and personal: a habit tracker, a family chore chart, a link-in-bio page or a tiny game. Finish one small thing, then level up.
Safety tips
- Don't paste passwords or private info into prompts.
- Kids should build with a parent and use a parent's account.
- AI makes mistakes, so test before you share.
