Lovable signs multiyear deal with Google Cloud to up usage 5x, source says
Lovable and Googleannouncedan expanded multiyear collaboration on Wednesday. Lovable, the fast-growing Stockholm vibe-coding startup, has long been a Google Cloud user. Under the new agreement, it will be a much bigger one. While the companies did not disclose the dollar figure, a person with knowledge of the deal tells TechCrunch it involves a fivefold increase in Lovable’s footprint on Google Cloud, including AI usage. As part of the deal, this individual tells us, Lovable will gain expanded access to both Anthropic’s Claude — the AI model widely used for coding tasks — and Google’s own Gemini models. The Anthropic piece in particular is interesting. Google invested $10 billion in Anthropic in cash and compute credits in April, promising another $30 billion if Anthropic hits certain performance targets. It made that investment at a $350 billion valuation — just one month before Anthropic raised a staggering$65 billion roundthat valued the company at nearly $1 trillion. This deal stands to help Anthropic hit those targets, because Lovable is one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups on record. According to Lovable, it crossed $400 million inannualized revenue in February, having added $100 million in a single month with just 146 employees. The company claims that more than half of Fortune 500 companies use its product in some fashion. The deal also plugs Lovable into several other parts of Google’s ecosystem. Lovable’s new agent will be available through Google Cloud’s enterprise agent marketplace, the Gemini Enterprise Agent Gallery — an arrangement the two companiesfirst telegraphedat Google’s major U.S. cloud conference in April. And to help secure the code that both humans and agents write, Lovable will integrate with Wiz, Google’s biggest ever acquisition at $32 billion, whichofficially closedin March, a year after it wasannounced. The integration will allow Wiz to identify and remediate security problems in real time. By selling Lovable’s agents through Google’s marketplace, the cloud giant says enterprise procurement and billing will be simplified, making it easier for Lovable to land more enterprise customers. The calculus for Google is simple enough. If it can keep both Lovable and Anthropic growing by attracting deep-pocketed enterprises, the revenue helps fund the $180 billion to $190 billion in capital expenditures Google plans to spend this year. The company is already in the process ofselling a record-breaking $85 billion in equityto cover some of that, so only another $100 billion or so to go.

Google’s Dreambeans, its weirdest-named AI tool to date, will turn your life into a cartoon
Google Labs, the tech giant’s team devoted to experimental product design, has launched a new AI-fueled app for iOS and Android that will quite literally animate your life. Behold,Dreambeans. Why is it called that? We’ll get to that later. First, what is it? Gozde Oznur, the product lead behind the new app, told TechCrunch that the idea is to use data culled from across your various Google services to generate a curated list of AI-illustrated “stories.” These stories come in a variety of different shapes and forms, although — in general — they seem to be lifestyle suggestions. Oznur describes them as “places to visit, topics to explore, things to try, upcoming trips, events that you should be aware of.” Dreambeans generates these ideas based on a user’s Google data. “With your permission, Dreambeans uses Personal Intelligence to connect information from Google apps like Gmail, Calendar, Photos, YouTube and Search History, to curate a finite collection of daily stories designed to spark new ideas,” the company says. So for instance, some stories may be geographical recommendations — like suggesting a new coffee shop near where the user lives that they might be interested in. Or, as is the case in thismarketing video, if you’re getting a new dog and that event has been marked in your Google Calendar, Dreambeans might deliver some insights about what it’s like to live with a new puppy. Still other stories may simply be news articles curated from the web, based on a user’s past interests. Oznur said the app has also been built as a doomscrolling antidote, in that it only provides users with a limited number of stories per day — typically 10 to 14. The idea is to get a few inspirational ideas and then go out and live your life, she said. A lot of companies are currently trying to court the user that is sick of phone addiction. I recentlyreviewed a startup, Bond,which also uses AI to auto-generate lifestyle suggestions for the user. What about privacy protections? According to Oznur, they are pretty solid. The only person with access to the app’s stories is the user, she said. Users can also delete their data whenever they want, and can choose which Google services they want to connect to the tool. Finally, where did the name “Dreambeans” come from? The idea for the name was generated, in part, by the way the system works while you are asleep, she said. “The dream part is literal, because while you sleep, the app is working through everything across your connected apps, because, as you can imagine, it’s a lot of data that it is distilling,” Oznur said. “The beans part is about how you kind of start your day with a freshly brewed cup of coffee. It has processed everything overnight and hands you a concentrated drop of inspiration in the morning.” Dreambeans is currently only available for eligible U.S.-based Google AI Ultra subscribers on Android and iOS. However, there is also awaitlistthat is available to users with a personal Google account.
