不到2年，把“一句话做软件”做到了年化6亿美元
一家公司成立不到两年，年化收入已经超过6亿美元。
更特别的是，它卖的并不是一款传统软件。
它想做的事情很简单：你用普通语言告诉 AI 想做什么，它直接帮你把软件做出来。
ENGLISH VERSION
A company founded less than two years ago has already surpassed $600 million in annualized revenue.
What makes it unusual is that it is not selling a traditional piece of software.
Its idea is simple: tell AI what you want in ordinary language, and let it help build the software for you.
01 / WHAT HAPPENED
年化收入已经超过6亿美元
9月24日，AI软件公司 Lovable 联合创始人 Fabian Hedin 在阿姆斯特丹 HumanX 峰会上表示，公司年化收入已经超过6亿美元。
今年6月，这个数字还在约5亿美元。
再往前看，2025年7月，Lovable 刚刚突破1亿美元年度经常性收入时，全职员工只有约45人。
真正值得注意的，不只是“这家公司赚了多少钱”，而是：AI正在改变做出一家软件公司，到底需要多少人、多少时间。
ENGLISH VERSION
On September 24, Lovable co-founder Fabian Hedin said at the HumanX summit in Amsterdam that the company had surpassed $600 million in annualized revenue.
In June this year, that figure was still around $500 million.
Going further back, when Lovable crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue in July 2025, it had only about 45 full-time employees.
The bigger story is not just how much money the company makes, but how AI is changing how many people—and how much time—it takes to build a software company.

02 / WHY IT MATTERS
以前先学代码，现在先说你想做什么
以前想做一个网站或者软件，你通常需要先解决很多事情：页面怎么设计、程序怎么写、数据库怎么建、用户怎么登录、产品怎么上线。
Lovable 想把这个过程变成一次对话。
“Build me a fitness booking app.”
“帮我做一个健身预约应用。”
这类方式现在常被称为“vibe coding”。
但更重要的是理解：做软件这件事，正在从“先会写代码”，慢慢变成“先把需求说清楚”。
ENGLISH VERSION
In the past, building a website or an app usually meant solving many separate problems first: interface design, coding, databases, user login, and product deployment.
Lovable wants to turn that process into a conversation.
This way of building software is now often described as “vibe coding.”
The more important shift is this: building software is gradually moving from “learn to code first” to “explain clearly what you want first.”
03 / READ IN ENGLISH

The bigger question is how AI may change the amount of work needed to build and scale a software company.
更值得关注的问题是：AI会怎样改变创办并做大一家软件公司所需要的工作量。
The bigger question = 更值得关注的问题
the amount of work needed = 所需要的工作量
build and scale a software company = 创办并把一家软件公司做大
ENGLISH VERSION
Here, “the bigger question” means the issue that deserves more attention. “The amount of work needed” refers to how much work is required, while “build and scale a software company” means creating a software company and then growing it.
COMPASS NOTE
小罗盘解读｜AI改变的，也许不只是“怎么写代码”
过去我们聊 AI 编程，最容易问的是：它能不能替程序员写代码？
但 Lovable 这类公司的快速增长，让另一个问题开始变得更重要：成立一家公司，到底还需要多少人？
AI暂时不会让所有公司都变成“一人公司”，但它已经开始压缩很多过去必须由不同岗位、不同人员完成的工作。
对大家来说，新的能力可能不只是“亲手完成所有工作”，而是：能不能把一个模糊的想法说清楚，再让 AI 帮你一步一步做出来。
ENGLISH VERSION
When people talk about AI coding, the first question is often whether it can replace programmers when writing code.
But the rapid growth of companies like Lovable raises a different question: how many people does it really take to build a company now?
AI will not turn every company into a one-person business overnight, but it is already compressing work that once required multiple roles and multiple people.
For most people, the new skill may be less about doing every task by hand and more about turning a vague idea into clear instructions that AI can help execute step by step.
