Anton Osika
Founder & CEO • GPT Engineer (Lovable)
In 2023, Swedish AI researcher Anton Osika built GPT Engineer—a CLI tool designed to generate entire code repositories based on user requirements. The repo went viral instantly, accumulating 50,000 GitHub stars in record time.
Osika evolved the project into Lovable.dev, a full-stack platform where users can describe web software features in real-time and watch the frontend, backend, and Supabase database get generated automatically.
Operating from Stockholm, Osika represents Europe's booming new-age founder ecosystem, showing how small agile teams can build tools used by millions globally.
"Code should be written at the speed of thought. The future of programming is pure human intent."
— Anton Osika, GPT Engineer (Lovable)
