50M projects built. 720M monthly visits to apps made on Lovable. 80% of builders are non-technical. 35% are already generating revenue. The numbers prove a shift: this is the build economy. thebuildeconomy.lovable.app

We're launching the OpenAI Economic Research Exchange: a new program for external researchers conducting independent research on the economic impacts of AI. We are looking for rigorous empirical projects on questions that matter for workers, firms, institutions, and the broader economy. openai.com/index/economic-re…

Me: Which piece should I remove? Claude: Give a few a gentle push first. If it moves easily on its own, it's not holding weight. If it won't budge, it's *load-bearing*, so leave it alone.

Is there still a gender gap in AI usage? In an updated working paper with @solenedelecourt and @CranneyKatelyn we find: 1) the gap in usage has shrunk 2) the gap is persistent 3) the gap is uneven Link to paper here: hbs.edu/ris/Publication Fi…

For the most popular AI tools, it still appears usage tilts towards men.

Paper has many more interesting descriptives and graphs and we catalogue every study we can find that measures gender and AI usage (know of more? Let me and @CranneyKatelyn know and we will add you into our analysis).

In @PeterMcCrory and team's awesome analysis of AI's role in social science is yet more evidence that the AI gender gap is far from closed: - Women use Claude ~3pp less than men - Women use Claude Code ~13pp less men These and dozens more new estimates in a soon to be released update to a working paper w/ @CranneyKatelyn and @solenedelecourt.
To what extent will AI automate innovation? How will social science research change with the advent of agents able to execute research end-to-end? New Anthropic Economic Research from Thomas Lyttelton, Nathan Wilmers, & Maxim Massenkoff out today tackling these questions. 1/6

AI appears to lead to LOTS more code, but because of weak link problems, results in muted gains in production of (high quality) software. Building on our "Mapping AI into Production" RCT, would be cool to see an RCT that trains developers (especially OSS teams) to better map AI into their projects. x.com/hyunjinvkim/status/204…

Large productivity gains from AI don't lead to equally big gains in software. 40%/ 140%/ 180% commits from autocomplete/interactive/autonomous agents but only 50%/ 30% projects/releases And does this new software get used by consumers? Not really. It's invisible/irrelevant.

here's my vision for education AI for kids - esp elementary kids. premise: screens are bad (esp for this age), but customized, tailored instruction is good! solution: a scanner printer connected to agents. kid gets sequential worksheets - each one graded with annotations like a real tutor would, and a new worksheet, generated on the fly, customized and tailored to what the kid needs to know. right now my 6yo is doing mind numbingly boring worksheets, and even nicer techniques like beast academy don't adapt or provide feedback. anyone building this?

We need more AI products that solve society’s hardest problems — like democratizing education and expensive tutoring This is.. well.. brilliant 😉

Hi everyone - excited to announce our next i3 Upskilling session. We are very lucky to have Vitaly Meursault of the Philadelphia Fed do the following presentation on Friday, May 29th at noon (zoom link below) Building Personal Research Factories A recurring finding from recent economic research on AI: gains accrue to those who restructure the way the work is done, not to those who shoehorn AI into the existing process. This talk is about that restructuring for research. Tools like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Open Code can now write code, run analyses, draft sections, and search the literature. The question that follows isn't "how do I use them" but "what should the research process itself look like, so AI helps without outpacing your understanding?" The answer this talk proposes is a personal research factory: an evolving body of files and rules — specifications of what you want, plans for how AI should produce it, explicit checks against the spec, and logs of what was actually tried and why — that sits between you and AI and mediates every interaction. The factory evolves with you across model upgrades, keeps outputs defensible because every decision stays visible, and steadily improves what you and AI can do together. The talk introduces the idea, walks through the structure that makes it work, and closes with a way to start building yours this week. The structure is universal; the shape reflects your taste. cornell.zoom.us/j/9968297336… ​Join us! -Matt

We've seen 40M projects built on Lovable and learned tons about what it takes to make a safe agentic coding tool. Lovable will be the first in our category to get the only certification covering the risks of agentic coding, by AIUC (@aiunderwriting). Read more about it and what we've done so far: lovable.dev/blog

New post on the difference between 3 notions of productivity gain from AI (AKA uplift). Uplift on old tasks (AI-speedup on tasks you do in avg 2022 day) Uplift on new tasks (AI-speedup on tasks you do in avg 2026 day) Uplift in value (AI increasing your goals accomplished)
